"Murray Arms Hotel is the nicest place I’ve stayed. The family owned hotel is warm & cozy with exceptional hospitality, superb food & chill ambiance by the shore. Great location, peaceful, charming & lovely retreat. Locals enjoy it too."

"Very welcoming and friendly manager / staff. Clean rooms and very comfortable bed and chairs. Shower was poor (luke warm water which could not be adjusted with poor water flow). Breakfast was acceptable (cereal, toast, boiled egg - not full English).
Beautiful outlook across to Hoy with small ferry terminal serving Hoy and Flotta close by. Not inconvenienced by ferry, noise or traffic using it. Excellent position for visiting the ‘mainland’ including Kirkwall and Stromness. A car is a must...

Beautiful location. Room was comfy and cozy. The bathtub was amazing after a day out exploring. The room we had had windows looking at the sky / and a beautiful view over the water. It was quiet and lovely. The restaurant was fairly priced and delicious. The included breakfast was delicious (and hot) and plentiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I was sad to leave it felt like home after just a couple of nights. There was lots of parking (free)

We stayed 3 nights at this excellent B&B, and could not have chosen a better base for our Orkney adventures. The hosts are friendly and accommodating, and the house is spacious and well maintained, with good sized bedrooms and a very comfortable common room. Breakfasts were first rate. I highly recommend this place.

Great staff and property. Excellent breakfast. Room had a couple of leaks. One showed up on the window sill when it rained hard and one was from the bathtub. Otherwise a very comfortable stay.

Great breakfast, excellent restaurant and even better staff. Everyone from the warm reception (at 11:30 pm!) who stayed late so we could enjoy a night cap after a long travel day. Engaging all around! Would definitely stay again!

L’hébergement est situé à côté de la plage de Thurso. La chambre est spacieuse et a une petite cuisinette ce qui nous a permis de se faire quelques repas.

I’ve stayed here each time I’ve come to Scotland. The only hotel I’ve stayed in more than once. You’re central to just about anywhere you’d like to go in the area.
The folks who work there are the best of the best. Rooms are clean, all appliances work, bathrooms are huge, big windows, a fabulous bath & water pressure to write home about.
Cannot recommend highly enough!

Easy parking on the street in front. ( In October) Great view of the harbour and lovely sunrise. The house is lovely, very clean, fully equipped and spacious over 3 floors. The washer and dryer are tucked under the stairs and very much appreciated by NC500 road trippers. The owner provided timely check in info. Thanks Adam!
