My colleges and I regularly pass through Kirkwall and the Lynnfield is considered the only place to be, the hotel is simply stunning in terms of service, decor, cleanliness and staffing. The rooms are huge, immaculately clean and uniquely modern norse. The bar is quiet but friendly with a huge selection of local tipples along with the usual bar favourites.... more

I booked this for my "mini-moon" to Orkney. We flew up from Abdn as we were short on time post wedding with other work stuff. I booked on the basis of the reviews on this site- what a great decision. Before we had checked in we went up North to Skara Brae and got some jewlery at Fluke- when we... more

Spot on! Simply... Free Wi Fi. Amazing food. The website doesn't do it justice. Lovely staff - amazingly stocked whisky selection too. So cosy and comfortable too. I can't recommend it enough. Stay here if you go to Orkney! more

Well, what can I say absolutely fantastic, a real hidden gem. There was a lovely relaxed atmosphere the moment we walked into the hotel. This coupled with a warm smile from the staff and friendly banter with Malcolm the owner. First impressions were excellent and the rest didn't disappoint. Malcolm showed us to our room and I must say it... more

My Wife & Myself are regular visitors to Orkney, first and last at this hotel! . the Proprietor was at reception when we arrived there was no Orkney welcome (no welcome at all) from there it went down hill, culminating in mouldy toast with my scrambled egg, and no apology, very disappointing. On a positive note the room was nice. more

The Residents Lounge is informally comfortable, stocked with books, games and squashy sofas, and a great place to relax with a Highland Park or two. Our twin bedroom was one of the cheaper options, but was spacious, with... more

Have stayed in this hotel twice for business, and throughly enjoyed every second. The room is very modern in its equipment but traditional in design. From the comfy beds to the plasma tv to the underfloor heating in the bathroom. Malcolm the owner is a wonderful host, providing a good dram and lots of even better craic. I normally like... more

Stayed here for four nights on business. What a find? Room was beautiful - four poster bed - I liked the bath and separate shower. Food was great and service helpful - could maybe be a bit faster - but not sure I would think this if I was on holiday. I loved it and would find it very hard... more

Lynnfield Hotel - Kirkwall, Orkney Mainland We spent one night at this hotel on 25th sept 2007 as part of our 4-night stay in Scotland. After the Ferry over from John o’ Groats, we found this hotel quite easily as its on the right hand side as you get into Kirkwall. Frankly, as their website says “The view from the... more
