Lots of choice on the menu.  Food was amazing and staff were so friendly and attentive. Lovely setting overlooking a working harbour. Would be lovely to sit out on a sunny day but equally as stunnig from inside (it was raining for us). Would highly recommend a visit!

A must

The Sands Hotel provides a truly wonderful stay.  The accommodation is of a high standard, very comfortable and the staff are exceptional. 

The staff go out of their way to make you welcome and chat away with the Guests.

The food is delicious and cooked to perfection!

5 star in every area 😀

Would highly recommend.

An Amazing 5* Stay

Went out for the Winter Deal of £70 for bed and breakfast. Decided to have dinner as well. The food was delicious, the rooms so clean and comfortable with a stunning view of the pier in Burray.

The staff were so lovely and kind. If you're looking for a one night get away. I highly recommend the Sands Hotel. 

We are booked to go back again in March.

Fantastic mini get away

Without doubt the best we have eaten on Orkney in the last decade. The skerries on south ronaldsay was very good but this was better. Nice setting, nice staff ok prices and really lovely food. Fresh scallops in a lovely sauce and Cullen skink to die for. Well done the Sands.

Don't miss this place.

Stopped here for lunch. Excellent service & the most wonderful rice pudding & raisins. Staff were very friendly,  great location, great service.  Well worth the visit. Will definitely go back there on our next visit to Orkney 

Great food 

Our small-group tour of Orkney with Seymour Travel stayed in the Sands Hotel for 6 nights.  The room and bed were comfortable and quiet, and the breakfasts and dinners were good, as were the lunches prepared.  Owner and staff were very accommodating and efficient -- and one staff member gave us a tour of her croft!   The hotel is on the south coast of the island of Burray, near the main road south from Kirkwall, about 20 minutes from the town and airport and over 3 of the 4 Churchill Barriers.  Not centrally located, but less than an hour from the farthest site (archaeological, historical, or natural) on Orkney's Mainland island.  The pub/bar was small but sufficiently supplied, and a comfortable place to relax with fellow tour members after a day of Orkney sights (and weather).  

Pleasant and accommodating hotel

We came across the Sands looking for a dog friendly place to have a drink & light lunch , we had 3 dogs (3 adults), all made to feel welcome. Plus good local draught beer & excellent fresh food. Would highly recommend. Very clean, a lovely roaring fire on an extremely windy & wet day.

Dog friendly, welcoming, good food

In a great location which gives good access to all of the sites of Mainland Orkney within a short drive, this is an absolute gem of a place. Stunning views (including Northern Lights during our stay). Immaculately clean, with attention to every detail from decor, facilities and little personal touches, like the history of the building, locally produced toiletries and cookies with the tea/coffee facilities. All the touches of a luxury hotel with the charm of a cosy cottage B&B. All the staff were friendly and welcoming.
The meals were exceptional, all prepared with locally sourced ingredients and with a menu that would put a fancy restaurant to shame. The scallops with black pudding and apple mash were one of the best meals I have ever eaten.
Such a memorable stay and we absolutely loved this place.

Delightful

My husband and I came here for dinner and we certainly were not disappointed. We were welcomed by the lovely Emma, she was friendly, polite, helpful and very cheerful. The restaurant and facilities were spotlessly clean. The food was fresh, well presented and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend Louie’s Chicken and the Orkney Fudge Cheesecake. We will definitely be coming back here. 10/10

Hidden Gem

Had a fantastic stay.  Lovely spotlessly clean room, great food, friendly and helpful staff, peaceful location and the power shower was fabulous! Hospitality tray in my room was really good, included squash sticks which were a great addition.  Definitely staying here again if I come back to Orkney.
