Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Finstown

Located on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodations with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

We had a tire that was leaking air. They had a friend who has a car repair business on their personal property - that person identified a small leak on the tire sidewall, so the tire would need to be replaced. The Smithfield then called around and found a shop that had our tire size and they make an appointment for us to get the tire replaced. This was amazing because the local tire shops were slammed with business and somehow, they got us an appointment quickly. The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to help us with our tire problem and we are extremely grateful for that! Breakfast and dinner were very good!

Spacious room, free parking, and friendly staff. I noticed the rating for the hotel is poor; but it is better than I expected. It is just an old hotel.

    Great for accessing all the A, B and C roads, but visitors should be aware that many of the B roads have passing places. In my opinion this adds to Orkneys charm. Bus stops near the property for travel to Kirkwall, Stromness, and other locations. While the property is near the main road, there really is no such thing as "rush Hour" on Orkney. the road is only mederately busy when people have a ferry to catch. Post office and excellent local store are nearby. With Kirkwall having both a Lidl and Tesco for larger shopping. The people of Orkney have a beautiful scots accent, even when using the local dialect.

    Nice village beside the sea at a crossroads with an efficient post office, shop and garage. Ideal base for touring East, West or North and South. It is 10 minutes from Tingwall for ferries to Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre. It is 10 minutes from the Standing Stones at Stenness and 15 minutes from Ring of Brodgar. It is 15 minutes from Kirkwall and not much longer to Stromness. It has an excellent bus service, if you want to leave the car behind for a day or 2.

    A village halfway to Stromness handy for the ferry terminal at Halton. Be sure to book a taxi or catch the service bus - its a bit far to walk! There is little to do here and the best places to eat are in Kirkwall (6 miles) A chip van and mobile sandwich/coffee van are to be found in the lay-by on the edge of town. Regular bus services will take you towards Stromness and the main Neolithic monumnents but don't ignore Cuween Hill Cairn which is on the hill behind Waterfront House

    Finstown is a lovely little town with great views of the sea. There is an amazing burger van (Leigh's) every day in the car park till 2pm and I can thoroughly recommend it. It is only 15mins from Stromness, so an easy drive from the ferry,

    Finstown is an attractive seafronted village. Sadly no pub!

    Finstown is an attractive seafronted village. Sadly no pub! Some beautiful gardens in the houses up Heddle Hill. Midway between Stromness and Kirkwall, it is easily reached. Roads in Orkney are the best I have come across in the UK and the standard of driving is excellent, Orcadians are very friendly people

    It's a quiet little place but very peaceful with stunning surrounding views, There is a small shop for essentials and a well regarded, visiting fish and chip van every Friday evening. Kirkwall and Stromness are about equi-distant and maybe 10 mins drive each way. My wife and I had a particular interest in the neolithic Orkney remains, Ring of Brodgar etc, and Finstown is ideally situated to visit all.
