“Comfortable large room with lake view, friendly helpful staffs, fresh seafood(marinated herring was our favorite! scallops were also nice) Visiting Orkney in November was actually tough but having hot chocolate and homemade shortbread in the warm room was a perfect treat for us who were coming back from the stormy outside. Many restaurants were closed in the off season so good to stay at the hotel with dinner. We stayed 3 nights and had different menu each day.”
“Lovely setting and nice cosy bar sraff very pleasant.”
“The location of Merkister Hotel is awesome. It sits overlooking a beautiful Loch that is full of amazing wild bird life. The staff are extremely welcoming. The food in the hotel is top notch: lovely evening meal (loved the clootie dumpling and custard) and had a massive tasty breakfast.”
“The view from our Loch side room was outstanding. The food, including many locally sourced Orkney specialties, was delicious. Add good location for exploring and this hotel ticks all the boxes.”
