Owned by the same family for nearly 20 years, the pub is at the heart of this conservation village, a short walk from the famous castle and within easy reach of local historic attractions. It has a spacious lounge and cosy public bar, both wood panelled and with log fires, and a large restaurant with a reputation for good food. Up to five hand pumps offer Orkney and Atlas ales, four real ale on the lounge bar, and a kegged beer in the public bar. The family owns the Orkney Brewery at Quoyloo.
