About Ferry Inn
Stromness is a old harbour town on Orkney, its narrow flagstone streets running down to the water, and it's here on John Street that the Ferry Inn makes its home. The inn puts guests within easy reach of the waterfront, with the town's own mix of cycling and walking routes, fishing, golf and watersports all nearby, along with other pubs and restaurants along the same stretch.
Rooms are en-suite and family options are available, with drinks in room and free WiFi throughout. Guests can expect breakfast each morning, plus a packed lunch on request for those heading out for the day. The inn's own bar and restaurant serve food and drink on site, with outdoor seating for milder days, and there's a meeting room for anyone combining business with a stay on Orkney.
Practical touches include 24 hour reception and luggage storage, useful given Stromness's role as a ferry port for those travelling on or off the islands. It's a straightforward, well-placed base for exploring Orkney rather than a destination in itself.
