The Sands Hotel

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."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Stenness?
For most travelers, the best time to visit Stenness is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.During these months, you'll experience average temperatures ranging from 12°C to 16°C (54°F to 61°F), making it comfortable for exploring the outdoor archaeological sites like the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness. The extended daylight, sometimes lasting until 10 PM, allows for more comprehensive sightseeing and photography without feeling rushed. This period is ideal for couples and families looking to maximize their time outdoors and enjoy the scenic Orkney landscape.Should you prefer fewer crowds and are prepared for cooler, potentially windier weather, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) also offer a good experience. Temperatures average around 9°C to 13°C (48°F to 55°F) during these shoulder seasons. While daylight hours are shorter than in mid-summer, you'll still have ample time to visit the major sites, and the less busy conditions can provide a more intimate experience with these ancient monuments.
