“The Foveran truly excels with its exceptional staff, whose genuine warmth and enthusiasm are consistently noted, creating a welcoming atmosphere from arrival. Its position outside Kirkwall, while requiring a car, rewards with magnificent views over Scapa Flow, best enjoyed from comfortable rooms and the restaurant, where the food itself is a considerable highlight.”
