Stopped at the Sands Hotel for lunch and I would definitely recommend it for lunch. Lovely clean restaurant and spotless toilets. Excellent food. We had the Chicken Curry and the Scampi - both excellent. Will definitely be back next time we are in Orkney.

Très bon hébergement pour un séjour long.
Très bon hébergement. Surtout pour un séjour plus long en famille (cuisine). En septembre, plutôt désert avec boite à clef et personne.

Brilliant staff and brilliant stay
The staff were brilliant and truly went out their way to make my stay very enjoyable. I would return here and recommend others to stay here also. The food was excellent and a very good selection to choose from.

Lovely quiet historic hotel
Lovely quiet hotel being an old Herring Warehouse. Rooms were comfortable and had a nice view of the boat ramp. We stayed 2 nights and meals were nice both nights. We needed washing done and were able to pay 15 pounds for a small bag to be done for us, which saved having to go to Laundromat in Kirkwall.

So lovely
Everything at this hotel was just lovely- staff, ocean views, food. The room was simple but nicely updated and maintained. This hotel was a highlight of our trip. The restaurant is also delicious and we loved breakfast.

Excellent hotel in Burray
Stayed at the Sands with my wife for one night. All the staff in the hotel we came into contact were very friendly and helpful. Our room was tastefully decorated and very comfortable.We enjoyed a beautiful evening meal in the restaurant and the cooked breakfast provided in the morning was one of the best I have had in any hotel.Our only complaint is we could only stay one night.

Good base from where to explore part of Orkney
Our brief stay at the Sands Hotel was just what we were looking for in that part of Orkney. We wanted to see Skapa Flow, the Italian Chapel, and we discovered a fascinating private museum with fossil collection.
The staff were helpful and welcoming and the room comfortable.
