Welcome to The Murray Arms Hotel and Seafood Restaurant. We are a small family run hotel who strive to bring you the freshest Seafood available to our shores, and to cut food miles to an absolute minimum.

We own our own Scallop Diving Vessels, and we are Registered Buyers to purchase other Seafood directly from our local Fishermen, many of whom are longstanding family friends.

Using the freshest of Seafood can mean that dishes can change very quickly during service, depending on stock and weather, but rest assured you will be eating the freshest seafood Orkney has to offer. We also make our own bread, butter, and have our own herb garden.

Our aim is to eventually grow all our own vegetables for the restaurant, and this goal is continuously being worked on and developed.

Whether this is your first visit, or you have been a guest many times, we want your experience to be excellent. Our staff are always available to help with any questions you may have. All of our rooms are clean, fresh and maintained to the highest standards. Enjoy your stay knowing you can spend your nights in total comfort.

“The Murray Arms feels like a hidden gem, a local that you’d be happy to visit again and again.”
