Charming history, welcoming hospitality, the destination makes the journey even more memorable.

June in Orkney is something else.

The Arctic terns are back, just returned from the Antarctic and already diving the harbour for sand eels like they never left. The Scottish primrose is out along the coastal grassland, tiny and purple, and you won't find it anywhere else in the world except here and the very top of the Scottish mainland. And the sun doesn't set until just after ten, and by midsummer the sky barely goes fully dark.

If you've been thinking about an Orkney trip, there's genuinely no better month for it.

We know the usual headaches: sending an enquiry and waiting days for a reply, pricing that only becomes clear at the end, promises of flexibility that never make it on paper, and F&B minimums turning into your responsibility.

At The Stromness Hotel, we do things differently.
With 42 rooms and seating for 60 in one go, we make group bookings simple.

Enquiries are answered the same day, pricing is transparent from the first conversation, and everything is clearly documented before you commit.
No hidden minimums. No commission games. Just a straightforward hotel ready to welcome your group.

Since your last visit, a few things have changed.

Nestled by the harbour, just five minutes from the ferry, The Stromness Hotel, now under new management, offers a refreshed, welcoming experience, led by a dedicated team focused on attentive service and a vibrant atmosphere. And yes, your dog is still very much welcome.

The Scapa Flow Restaurant is fully open, as is The Flattie in a Teacup coffee shop; more reasons to stay longer, eat well, and enjoy Stromness.

Returning guests, don’t miss out! Enjoy 15% off with code STROMNESS2026 for stays in May & June. But hurry, availability is limited. Book direct via the link: https://bit.ly/42oZBwL

We're right on the harbour in Stromness. Rooms are still available for the bank holiday weekend, and if you've stayed with us before, enjoy 15% off with code STROMNESS2026.

Most people sailing into Orkney don't realise the ferry docks in Stromness.

Which means you step off the boat, walk five minutes along the harbour, and you're already there. No coach. No transfer. No faff.

Room ready. Harbour on your doorstep. Dogs welcome too.

Message us and we'll send you what's free this weekend.

Stromness comes alive this May as the Orkney Folk Festival 2026 returns from 21–24 May, bringing four days of music, community spirit, and island celebration to Orkney. With over half the festival programme in Stromness, it’s the perfect time to experience the island in full festival mode.

Located by the Pierhead, close to the ferry terminal and the heart of town, The Stromness Hotel is your ideal base. Pause, meet, dine, and soak up the festival atmosphere at The Scapa Flow Restaurant or The Flattie in a Teacup, both fully open and ready to welcome you.

We’ve just had last-minute openings for Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May — twin and triple rooms only, and they won’t last long! Your stay includes Sunday continental breakfast, making it a perfect weekend escape.

Bringing a group to Stromness? You've picked the right place.

We're the largest independent hotel in Stromness; 42 rooms, a dining room that seats 60, and five minutes from the ferry pier on foot. We love a full house.

Heritage tours, coach groups, family reunions, we've had them all and we genuinely enjoy it. Just tell us your dates and how many people you're bringing and we'll take it from there.

After a day out in Stromness, most people aren’t looking for a busy restaurant.
They just want somewhere straightforward to sit down and eat well.

That’s exactly how we’ve shaped the Scapa Flow restaurant at The Stromness Hotel, and we’re now open again for the season.

Breakfast and dinner are served daily, right by the harbour.

If you’re planning a visit to Orkney this season, it’s worth checking availability in advance.
