An informal and relaxed ambience permeates every aspect of the Portland Arms and is combined effortlessly with a friendly efficient service.

Situated on the border of Lybster, one of Scotland’s most famous Herring villages, this former coaching inn has been renovated to provide 22 en-suite rooms with king-size beds. This idyllic setting is the gateway to the Orkney Isles from nearby John O’Groats with its rugged and wild coastline.

Delicious cuisine is prepared daily by our professional team of chefs using fresh local produce and the hotel can cater for all diets and ages. The conference facilities make the Portland Arms an ideal meeting place for business travellers and the facilities are perfect for weddings, too.
