"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Top Deerness Hotel Reviews

Albert Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice modern hotel, well located in town close to harbour"

Grainbank Mews

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely stay! Albert and Aileen run a beautiful B&B - spotless, quiet, and so conveniently located. Albert was very helpful, offering to answer any questions even after we checked out. We also got to meet their dog which was very welcome after nearly two weeks away from our own. I’m not usually a B&B person but I would definitely stay again. And I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to give it a try."

Royal Oak Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was so warm, hospitable, and willing to help with any problems I had. He really went out t of his way to make me feel comfortable and cared for. Breakfast was wonderful---lots of hotels and cold choices in a clean, cozy breakfast room. Parking lot was easy to enter and leave with ample space for all cars."

The Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was expensive for what it was but I guess there are a lot of tourists in Orkney and not a lot of accommodation! Over £200 a night for a small room, double bed (not king). The rate did include breakfast, which was adequate (order from list the night before). The hotel did have a restaurant - food was fine - and a bar and friendly barman. Staff were lovely altogether. I have never been to Orkney before so can’t make any comparisons but I suspect this may be among the better places to stay. Lots of room to park the car. Sea view."

For couples seeking a quiet and scenic retreat, accommodations near Mull Head are ideal. You'll find opportunities for peaceful walks along the coastal paths, birdwatching, and enjoying the rugged landscape.

When is the best time to go to Deerness?

The extended daylight means you have more time to enjoy the scenic landscapes, including the Deerness Peninsula and Mull Head Nature Reserve, without feeling rushed.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will appreciate the long evenings, great for enjoying a quiet dinner with views of the sea. The milder weather also makes boat trips to nearby islands, like Copinsay, more pleasant.
