Walked from Dounby to this hotel, passing the atmospheric Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness. The hotel is under new young management and is to be highly recommended. The rooms are excellent and the food very very good. The hotel is on the main road betwwen Stromness and Kirkwall and is within walking distance of Maes Howe, a... More

Had lunch at the Standing Stones Hotel while visiting the stone age sites. I ordered a hot baguette which was delicious. The service was fine but took a while for food to come out. Nice contempary decor. Overall a good place to stop for a bite to eat.

owners and staff are very helpful and friendly. Modern bar and restaurant- excellent for functions as well. Food was good portions and well presented. Rooms were large and clean. Well located for stromness and sites in the area.

We used it as a base to explore the Orkneys for which it was perfect. It is near to the major megalithic sites and on the shores of a lake. The staff were generally helpful and friendly. The food was adequate. The place was reasonably clean and tidy.

However we went back and were very very dissapointed, main meals were good but small portions more half portions we would say and as for the fancies, no... More

On entering the bar we were greeted by a young lady who was very helpful, serving us with drinks whilst we decided what to have from the bar meal. There was a good... More

Had a good meal served by friendly and efficient staff - despite there being a bus tour eating in the bar next door! The mixed grill was excellent - even if it arrived minus the mushrooms!! A good menu and good for a quick lunch stop in this exciting part of the archaeological treasure that is Orkney!

This hotel is in a prime location and the views are amazing. The staff are very welcoming and do their absolute best to meet the needs of the guests. However this is a very busy hotel and there is a price to pay for that. If you are looking for peace and tranquility you are unlikely to get it here... More

There was nothing really wrong with the standing stones hotel, but it just lacked anything to distinguish it. The rooms are utilitarian and decorated in a kind of 1970s time warp. Breakfast is OK, except for the rather intrusive Celtic folk rock that was played. A forgettable experience but not really a bad one, I wouldn't have wanted to spend... More
