Spent one week at Cleaton House this June and will definitely come back: the hosts are a gem, the food is brilliant and the integrated pub is a great place to meet locals. Best room is "Lameger" - huge and light. Definitely the best place on the northern Orkneys! More

The hotel sits just off the main (almost the only) road on the island. The rooms are large and comfortable, the food is excellent (the vegetables... More
