Accommodation
At The Shore we focus on providing comfortable Bed & Breakfast accommodation, 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.

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.
On arrival you can be forgiven for thinking what have I booked, but our room was really nice and has clearly just been refurbished to a good standard. The Evening meal menu was simple yet the food was stunning, with the hearty morning breakfast reiterating that fact. Nice quiet lounge bar, with a more earthy public bar if you fancy...
