The Hoy Hotel is run by Inez and Richard Groat, who are both natives of Orkney. Inez, who oversees the decor, is currently looking into giving the bar a nautical feel. It is important to both Inez and Richard that when visitors leave, they go with a feeling that they have enjoyed a stay in a small hotel committed to the "personal touch" synonymous with a family run business. No matter how short or long your stay at The Hoy Hotel is, you should leave carrying with you fond memories of an extremely friendly island.
