Verry good restaurant. Room and bath are clean. Good, comfortable bed. Suppose, I've got a single room as the bed would have been to small for two adults.

Pros: The Murray Arms is ideally placed for the ferry terminal. Very convenient and easy to find. Rooms were clean. Restaurant was good for dinner. Cons: the walls are very thin and can hear neighbours easily.

8/10 Very good

Accommodation was very clean and comfortable and location was very handy for ferry terminal. Only slight issue was layout of the bedroom; sloping roof and wall lights made it more awkward to get past bed to get to bathroom during the night. Food was amazing particularly the seafood platter. Good choices for breakfast too.

Lovely Stay

We stayed overnight before going to Hoy. The welcome was excellent and warm and our room was lovely- the whole place was spotlessly clean. Eating in is an excellent option; we did and I would highly recommend!!!

Beautiful location with convenient parking and friendly accommodating staff. Our room was comfortable with kettle, tea, biscuits etc. Breakfast choices were adequate and generous portions. Our fish supper on the first night was excellent but - for a non fish/ seafood variety we decided to eat elsewhere on our second night. We would definitely stay here again.

So pleased to find Murray Arms. It was 5 minutes from our arriving ferry. Upon checkin by Suzanne, we were assigned private off-road parking. Our room for 3 nights was comfortable. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming for all - babies, dogs, and patrons. The meals in their restaurant were first class. They have dive boats for scallop harvesting. Our scallop dinner was the best EVER!

Bright, modern B&B with modern rooms. Ours was filled with natural light owing to skylights and had a comfortable bed and contemporary decor. The restaurant was excellent and specialises in high quality and excellently cooked seafood dishes. Breakfast was great too!
