Friendly staff in the bar - no food available after 8pm which was disappointing as there was nowhere else to eat

Murray Arms Hotel is the nicest place I’ve stayed. The family owned hotel is warm & cozy with exceptional hospitality, superb food & chill ambiance by the shore. Great location, peaceful, charming & lovely retreat. Locals enjoy it too.

Great host. Every person at the hotel was so helpful. Rooms very clean food was great. Would go back Thank you.

Great place to stay right at the end of the bus route that crosses the islands. Really good restaurant (especially for fish lovers!), super friendly and helpful staff, convenient for the Pentland Ferry - what’s not to like !

As our fullsome praise in your questionnaire shows, this is an excellent place to stay. We might add that the food was of a very high standard and quality too.

The Murray Arms is an excellent place to stay ,two minutes from the Pentland Ferry terminal. It is spotlessly clean with a nice bar and restaurant. The staff couldn't be more friendly and welcoming. The breakfast and evening meals are excellent, would definitely return.

Ideally located hotel. Friendly and helpful staff

Large room - good shower. Fantastic food. Glorious location. Most friendly and helpful staff.

So pleased to find Murray Arms. It was 5 minutes from our arriving ferry. Upon checkin by Suzanne, we were assigned private off-road parking. Our room for 3 nights was comfortable. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming for all - babies, dogs, and patrons. The meals in their restaurant were first class. They have dive boats for scallop harvesting. Our scallop dinner was the best EVER!

Pros: The Murray Arms is ideally placed for the ferry terminal. Very convenient and easy to find. Rooms were clean. Restaurant was good for dinner. Cons: the walls are very thin and can hear neighbours easily.

We stayed with them overnight and the accommodation was great, as was the breakfast. We also had dinner here as it had great reviews for seafood. Sadly we were left quite disappointed as none of the food impressed and the sea bass was particularly bad. Our waitress was great, but there was some commotion behind the bar with the younger staff and you could tell that there was some conflict, just enough to make everyone uncomfortable without anything actually happening. I'm all for the younger generation to get work experience, but they still need to be professional. We also had drinks in their pub and although everything was fine, it somehow had the feeling of walking into a local old man's pub where everyone knows eachother and looks at you suspiciously. Nothing happened but again, there was just something off about the atmosphere. Overall I'd definitely recommend staying here, but not too sure about eating / drinking here.

Decent room, good food. Peaceful.

The Manager makes you feel right at home , first name terms and genuinely interested in how you day has been . Service was excellent. The food was fresh, scallops were caught at 4 every day .

The proprietors are very friendly and accommodating. The place has a lot of charm and is clean and perfect for our needs.

Beautiful location with convenient parking and friendly accommodating staff. Our room was comfortable with kettle, tea, biscuits etc. Breakfast choices were adequate and generous portions. Our fish supper on the first night was excellent but - for a non fish/ seafood variety we decided to eat elsewhere on our second night. We would definitely stay here again.

Amasing personal, excellent dinner and breakfeast

Accommodation was very clean and comfortable and location was very handy for ferry terminal. Only slight issue was layout of the bedroom; sloping roof and wall lights made it more awkward to get past bed to get to bathroom during the night. Food was amazing particularly the seafood platter. Good choices for breakfast too.

Lovely location and everything ok, staff friendly and helpful. Food good

I only stayed overnight but it was very comfortable, the staff were friendly,and the food hot and tasty.

small but very friendly hotel with good food and a characterful atmosphere
