We arrived without a booking and were given a small room with a queen size bed for a reduced rate which we were happy with. Overall experience was ok though we were right next to the laundry room which made noise until 11pm and started up again at 7am. They did apologise in the morning. More

I am pleased that we managed to get you a room at short notice. I am sorry that the laundry disturbed you and we will certainly review the time that we use the laundry to avoid disturbing guests in this room in the future. More

Had good breakfasts and delicious evening meals on a 3 day business trip to the area. Room may have been a little bit dated, though a facelift is due, but marvellously clean and welcoming all round. Location is central in Stromness and just opposite the ferry terminal, very handy. More

Thank you for this positive feedback. We have started a programme of refurbishment on the rooms in the annexe to the Ferry Inn and all 6 rooms there will be freshly decorated by the end of the year. More

The Ferry Inn has had a change in ownership in the past year. The pub and restaurant have been updated and the guest rooms are due to be updated this winter. The staff could not have been more helpful especially when we discovered no remote for the television and no hair dryer in the room. Our room happened to be... More

Stayed here for the fishing competition. Had a few drinks on the first night and a meal, the food was not very inspiring and took 45 mins for the starter to arrive, booked for 4 nights but wish i could have moved out earlier to a cheaper place. Breakfast was a joke, there were seven of us each morning and... More

Hi, Gareth here at The Ferry Inn. It is clear that we didn't get it right for this guest. We took over the business on 1st June and have worked hard since to turn it around. Our main focus has been on the food service so it is particularly disappointing to hear that we didn't manage to get breakfast right.... More

I'd only been in the Ferry briefly before now - what an amazing improvement in the last month or so. Evidently under new ownership, and must have been a power of work put in since they took over ; couldn't believe it was the same place ! New bar menu at lunch was first class - hopefully going back to... More

Have just returned from spending 5 wonderful days in the Orkney Isles and we are glad we picked the Ferry Inn as it met our needs splendidly. Our room although not quite en-suite (Shower and Wash Basin in room, toilet just opposite across corridor) was spacious, comfortable, nicely decorated and contained a King Size bed which ensured a good nights...

Even staying on the third floor the noise from the bar was still clearly audiable. Upon complaining to the manager there was no change and my comments went in one ear and out of the other. The young bar man by the name of Jason, who was entirely devoid of manners or brains, seemed to think that the bar was... More

I stayed at the Ferry inn for three nights in June 2010. My pre booking inquiries were dealt with promptly and in a friendly manner. Free parking in the area is not a problem, though a short walk to the Inn is required. Close by pay to park operates from 9 to 5, and I was away during those hours.... More
