Waterfront House, hotel in Stenness

Boasting a private beach area and views of sea, Waterfront House is a guest house set in a historic building in Finstown, 5.7 km from Maeshowe.

The room we were given had a feature window overlooking the firth which was lovely - we also had shared access to an eating area with a similar feature window which we enjoyed using for our breakfasts and simple dinners. Our room was large and spotless - showed great care by our host. The location proved perfect, being 8 min drive from Kirkwell but in the direction of most of our target sights.

    Stenness is a small village that has several Neolithic sights close by. There are fantastic standing stones which you can go close to. Also there is a fishing loch. The village has a petrol station with a shop. You really need a car to get around mainland Orkney. Stenness is situated 3 miles from Stromness where there are several shops and supermarkets

    We usually had evening meals at the Merkester Hotel which is nearby. Definitly recommend this place. We had a lovely walk in the little wood at "Happy Valley". Philip told us about it. Other walks at nearby Yesnaby cliffs and Scara Brae beach which are nearby. Quaint little streets at Stromness where we got of the ferry.

    Stenness is not far from Stromness on the road to Kirkwall, but nothing's far on Orkney Mainland. It really is an ideal focal point for your exploration of the islands. There's an hotel and a shop/petrol station, plus an ice-cream parlour. We ate in various places and would recommend - for lunch - Sheila Fleet on the East side of the island and the Birsay Bay Tearoom on the West. Both very busy. For dinner, we enjoyed excellent meals at the Ferry Inn in Stromness and the Merkister Hotel near Dounby. Check out the tours - the ones we joined were 1st Class.
