Polly Kettle in Orkney Islands

What a gem of a place. Fantastic cheery welcome with great service. Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. If you're going to Westray you've got to visit.

I spent 2 nights at the Sands while on the island for work. The staff were super friendly, helpful with any thing I needed and the food was amazing (I’m just finishing off a stair pie that is just the hearty food I need after a long day of photography) Would recommend and will definitely come again if I’m lucky enough to return to this beautiful location.

Overpriced. Vastly overpriced. £6.45 for a pint of Heineken. £6.60 for a pint of local Ola lager from the Orkney based Swanney Brewery. These are prices one would expect to pay in a big city in the South of England, not on an island at the top of the North sea. Food was passable but again overpriced, £16 for a bacon cheeseburger. Service was okay, staff seemed decent enough but to have three working behind such a small bar on a quiet Thursday night appeared excessive. Not sure how many were labouring in the kitchen but perhaps their overstaffing is equated in their exorbitant prices? Better food, drink and service available at cheaper prices elsewhere in Kirkwall and Orkney generally. Best avoided if you have any care for your wallet.

Great wee place ,just next to Kirkwall Hotel.It belongs to Kirkwall Hotel and breakfast is in main Kirkwall Hotel.Nice and quiet room.

Convenient and central but too expensive for this type of rooms and establishment.
