Inns in St Margaret's Hope

The Murray Arms is a stone-built inn on the Back Road in the heart of the village, and its 503 reviews make it by far the most-reviewed place to stay in St Margaret's Hope. It's built around a seafood restaurant working with Orkney scallops, langoustine and locally landed fish, with a courtyard out front where people eat in the open air on a fine day. It's the kind of place suited to anyone who wants a proper village pub atmosphere alongside a kitchen that takes its seafood seriously. Above the bar and restaurant there's en-suite accommodation — a double room sleeping two — so you're staying right above the kitchen and dining room, with the bar downstairs, rather than a walk away from it.

Part of the same building is let separately as Valhaven Apartment 1, a self-contained flat in the old hotel — see the apartments in St Margaret's Hope for that listing.

The seafood is the point

The kitchen works with Orkney scallops, langoustine and locally landed fish, and the courtyard out front fills up on a fine day.

One room above the bar

There's a single en-suite double room sleeping two, directly above the restaurant and bar, with the bar and dining room a few steps away once the evening winds down.

Well reviewed

8.8 from 503 reviews is the highest review count of any property in the village by a wide margin.
