Top Keiss Hotel Reviews

Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff. Very friendly and pleasant to talk to, although there was a feeling that the administration could be improved. We had to pay an unexpected £48 for breakfast when we arrived and then received a bill for dinner two days earlier. This was no question dishonesty; it was poor organisation. Breakfast was a disappointment. They boasted about the quality of their breakfast, but it was dried out from being "kept warm". On the other hand, my wife asked for a smaller main course at dinner, and they charged half price. Parking. It was available, and they had electric charging points. We didn't use them because we didn't bring our EV, but we appreciated that they were there."

Mackays Hotel Wick

8/10 Good

"Very enjoyable evening at Mackays. Good food and really interesting and pleasant chat with Murray in the bar afterwards."

Pentland

10/10 Excellent

"Good hotel to stay in prior to ferry crossing to Orkney"

Manor House

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay at Manor House! It is a perfect convenient location if you’re catching the Scrabster ferry. The rooms were spacious and clean. The property is family run and they were wonderful people! We had a delicious dinner at the restaurant and they offered breakfast as well with both continental and a full Scottish hot breakfast options to choose from."

Castletown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is fabulous and would highly recommend. The hotel is modern, exceptionally clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and very helpful. The rooms are extremely comfortable. In the restaurant the food is extremely tasty with extra large portions. I would highly recommend a stay here"

The Hawthorns Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great B&B, close to the Gill's Bay ferry, and easy to find. The owners were very helpful and explained all of the room functions. The breakfast was amazing. Great place to stay the night before a ferry crossing. I had to good runs from the property that didn't require running on the main road, so it felt safe."

Celtic Lodges

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully clean and well equipped. Spacious and comfortable. Very much enjoyed our stay. The host was very welcoming and helpful and the location was beautiful. Will be back"

Bank Guest House
