We had dinner here recently and whilst it was quite good, my expectations were not met. With their process of not allowing you in the restaurant until your food is ready, comes an avalanche of things at the same time.. wines, water, bread and meal. My meal was cold. It would be much better if you could sit at the... More

We spent one night on the Orkneys and were happy to stay at the Foveran near Kirkwall. The Foveran excels in its restaurant - wonderful food in a beautiful dining room overlooking Scapa Flow. Absolute fantastic dinner and great breakfast. As is advertized this is a "restaurant with rooms" and the rooms definitely come in second place. Everything is very... More

The Foveran Hotel is a great value for money place. Stayed on the single room, the only that doesn`t have ensuite bathroom, but just across the corridor had my own bathroom, just for my use. Room not being big , had all the faciities including free wifi. Busy restaurant, advise to book a table. The food is really good, good... More

The Foveran Hotel is immaculately clean and very tastefully furnished, both of which made our stay so very comfortable. We booked DB&B and both meals were absolutely delicious, who would have thought poached eggs and toast could taste so good! Would highly recommend to visitors and locals

drove by this gem of accommodation and great food but sadly they were full. I then found them listed as the 3rd best hotel in Kirkwall on trip advisor but none of my search engines can book or give me prices for this lovely hotel.How does one check availability and prices or book online??

Two weeks ago my wife and I stayed at The Foveran - the setting is idyllic, the accommodation is very good and the food superb. Add to this excellent service from all the staff and very reasonable rates for DB&B. We recommend it most highly. We should also mention that throughout Orkney we found the most friendly and helpful people... More

It is exactly as described - a restaurant with rooms. Room was clean comfortable and spacious with a nice bathroom with everything working. Food was superb - imaginative and made the most of local produce. We particularly liked the mutton - to die for. The views from the windows of the restaurant were an added bonus. The staff were very... More

We had a delicious meal here for Valentines Day this year. The restaurant was full and the atmosphere was lovely. The steak was incredible! Service was great and nothing seemed too much bother. I can't speak for their overnight experience as we've never stayed, but it's definitely our favourite place for a romantic meal for 2 on the island.

We had the most wonderful meal in December cooked by Paul and his team at the Foveran. I was there with my family and what a great choice of starters and mains. My husband loved the squid for starter and then we enjoyed venison, duck and monkfish for main course served with fresh vegetables and both mashed and gorgeous garlic... More
