About the Ferry Inn

Situated on the harbourfront in Orkney's gateway port Stromness, the Ferry Inn provides a safe and comfortable base for business or leisure stays, great food and a relaxed and welcoming bar. Demand in the main season for rooms and food service is always high so we encourage potential visitors to plan well ahead. Book directly with us through this website for our very best rates for next year.

During the winter months however (from 22 October - 13 April) our restaurant will be closed and the hotel will operate Bed, Breakfast and Bar only.

Feel free to take our google tour, but please be aware that the building is rarely this empty!
