Comfortable rooms on Kirkwall's harbour-front
Please note that on re-opening we will initially be providing rooms and continental breakfast only.
At The Shore we focus on providing comfortable rooms, a full breakfast and elegant evening dining, whether for business or holiday stays, in the heart of the town, on Kirkwall's Shore Street, overlooking the harbour and marina.
We offer double, twin or single rooms and loft suites. All have en-suite shower rooms. The premier rooms are larger with bright front facing windows and can be used as family rooms when required as they have ample space for a fold down bed or cot. The larger loft suite with two rooms sharing a bathroom is well suited to those looking for a little more space.

If you're visiting Kirkwall then The Shore is the perfect place for a stay. The staff were wonderful, kind and helpful. The room was comfortable, a good size, the bathroom was like brand new, and the bed was soooooo comfortable. There is a restaurant and bar for your visit too. I would recommend this place to everyone.
Located in the centre of Kirkwall. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent both for breakfast and evening meal. The fish and chips were one of the best I have tasted for some time
A handy place to stay in Orkney. Right by the harbour in Kirkwall. Clean fresh rooms. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Reasonable rates. Ferries to the north isles of Orkney leave from here. The town centre is easy walking distance - two minutes and all amenities. Airport bus goes past door.
