The Storehouse

Built in 1880 originally as a herring and pork curing store, the Storehouse is a grade B Listed Building situated just off Kirkwalls historic stone paved shopping street full of independent shops . Sympathetically renovated and designed  in 2018 recycling all the materials within the original building, we express what is great about Orcadian food and design, mixing the old with the new. Downstairs we have created a large ground floor restaurant and eight luxury rooms on the upper two floors all with lift access and full of unique features with each room having their own special Orkney story to tell.First floor bedrooms  have their original wooden posts, which we believe to be recycled from tall mast sailing ships and also feature detailing such as wooden shutters, stone sills, oak boarded floors. All eight rooms are en-suite, have underfloor heating , spacious walk-in rainfall showers, fluffy bath towels and robes with complimentary toiletries. Our four superior rooms have double ended baths with pictorial Orkney photographs and the top floor bedrooms have remote controlled velux windows. Beds are super king size and have luxury Egyptian cotton bedding, an extra bed for children under 12 can be supplied in the superior rooms.  Interiors have been designed by Judith owner and textile designer giving a unique Orcadian feel. The  soft furnishings and blackout curtains were especially designed for each room and are made from Bronte Tweed and thick cotton velvet. There are large flat screen smart TVs, USB charging points, reading lights, fluffy bath robes, complimentary choice of tea pigs tea, coffee and local shortbread in every room and fresh milk is always available from reception. The superior and luxury rooms also have large console tables ideal as work stations. Original paintings hang throughout the building and have been painted by Judiths twin sister Jane Glue who is a well known local water colour artist. Free WI FI is provided in all spaces.Our Storehouse breakfast is cooked to order and made with local Orkney Produce with a continental option also available. Evening and Lunch menus are changed daily and our Chefs use the best of local Orkney produce which is famous for it meat and seafood.
