"We were very pleasantly surprised to learn our 1 room family suite had 2 separate bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Only issues were that we only had 1 key which made it tricky every time we went separate places. Also there was an illuminated exit sign in the king bedroom we had to cover up it was so bright, and when others shut their doors it would thump ours. Loved the skylights, was a bit stuffy but those helped. Loved the breakfast!"

"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Westray?
The best area to stay in Westray is around Pierowall, the island's main village.

Pierowall is located on the north-eastern coast of Westray and is the island's main hub. It's where you'll find the primary shops, a pub, and the heritage centre. The village is spread out along the bay, offering views of the water and the small harbour where fishing boats are often docked. This area is quite central for exploring the rest of the island by car or bicycle.

For couples seeking a peaceful retreat with convenient access to amenities, staying in or near Pierowall is ideal. You're within walking distance of places to eat and pick up essentials, and the village provides a gentle pace of life, great for relaxing walks along the shore or exploring the local history at the heritage centre.

Travellers looking for a quiet base to explore Westray's natural beauty will also find Pierowall suitable. It's a great starting point for visiting the RSPB reserve at Noup Head, known for its seabird colonies, or for discovering the island's many archaeological sites.
When is the best time to go to Westray?
The best time to go to Westray is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and the days are long.

During this period, you can expect average temperatures around 14-16°C, which is ideal for exploring the island's outdoors. The extended daylight hours, sometimes lasting until late evening, provide ample opportunity for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty of the island. This makes it great for those who want to maximise their time outdoors.

Wildlife enthusiasts will find these months particularly rewarding. Puffins are present on the cliffs from April until early August, and the warmer waters attract seals and other marine life, making boat trips more enjoyable. Birdwatchers will appreciate the active seabird colonies.

For those who prefer a quieter experience with fewer visitors, the shoulder months of May and September also offer pleasant conditions.
