My adult son and I stayed two nights at Houton Bay Lodge, Lynda and Alfie were very helpful giving us suggestions of interesting places to visit while on the island. The food at the restaurant was good and breakfast was very plentiful. The room was clean, with a nice view of Scapa Flow. more

Great place to stay with very large rooms. There is a well-stocked bar and the staff are very helpful. Evening meals used local produce, and portions were big and very tasty.

Only booked here for 1 night, but to be truthful would not have stayed any longer. The landlady was very trying and we found her to be very OTT.

If, like us, you want to know what to do and where to go in Orkney, then look no further!! Lynda's unbounded enthusiasm for all things Orkney is a pleasure to behold. Helpful, friendly, professional all in all a brillant place to base yourself to explore the islands. We'll be back!! more
