Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Stenness?
The best area to stay in Stenness is the village itself, or the nearby town of Stromness, offering convenient access to the region's main attractions.

Stenness village is quite small, centred around the A965 road. It's primarily known for its proximity to the UNESCO World Heritage sites, particularly the Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar. Accommodation here often consists of guesthouses or self-catering cottages, providing a quiet base for exploring the ancient landscape.

Couples looking for a peaceful retreat will appreciate Stenness for its direct access to the historic sites and the opportunity for quiet walks. You're just a short drive from the Ness of Brodgar archaeological dig, and the views across the lochs are stunning.

For those who prefer more amenities and dining options, Stromness is an excellent alternative. This charming port town is just a 10-minute drive from Stenness. Its narrow, winding streets are lined with traditional stone houses, many with their own piers. The main street, Victoria Street, offers a selection of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants.

Travellers who enjoy a bit more hustle and bustle, but still want a relaxed atmosphere, will find Stromness ideal. It's the main ferry port for Orkney, so there's always a bit of activity.
