Whilst the food in the restaurant is fantastic, our experience was seriously let down by the level of service. The majority of the staff were sullen, brusque and not given to smiling and/or social niceties. Whilst our room was pleasant, we had more of a view of our neighbouring room through the windows. The flat screen television on the wall... more

You can't beat the food or service. Don't miss dinner, whatever you do! more

Orkney was the last stop on our trip so we decided to splash out and finish in some really good accommodation. This place certainly filled the bill. We stayed in the 'Jarls' suite which was very luxurious. The place was still being renovated and there was a bit of scaffolding about. There was also a wedding reception in the hotel... more

We stayed here for 2 nights, the adults in the fabulous Bu suite and our teenagers in a lovely twin room. Both rooms were lovely, with extremely luxurious and large bathrooms. The beds were very comfortable, and both rooms had large flat screen TVs (only terrestrial channels though). Breakfasts were very generous and well cooked, and dinner on the one... more

Only negative was it was a bit far from town centre. Restuarant busy with non-residents - always a good sign. Lots of choice in food and whiskies! Spent 2 nights and would... more

I was in Kirkwall on an archaeology tour when I stayed at the Lynnfield Hotel. The staff treated me like Royalty the entire time I was there. I just cannot say enough about what a great experience it was for me. The meals were absolutely delightful and well planned. I mostly enjoyed my evenings in the bar tasting the Highland... more
