My husband and I spent two nights in the twin room at Holland House and we found it excellent. Jan, the owner, welcomed us outside when we arrived which I think is a nice detail that shows her great hospitality. Our room was great with tea/coffee facilities and a bottle of sherry which according to my husband tasted great. Jan... More

Holland House fully deserves its' 5 star rating. The location is stunning (as are the views from all windows), and extremely well placed for exploring the mainland. The accommodation is faultless The wonderful lounge with real fire and Sky TV was a real winner - particularly in the unpredictable weather of Orkney! The breakfast was wonderful - home produced fruit... More

....otherwise we will never get an accommodation here again - due to a sheer overflow of guests, who all will want to stay nowhere else again than in Jan's Holland House! Though meanwhile more than 6 months came and went since we had 6 marvellous days there, the impressions still linger on: Remembrances of a stylish glass of Highland Park... More

This was the second time we have stayed and it was every bit as good as the last time. The location is good, nowhere is very far up here, and Jan and John are wonderfully welcoming hosts. The house is peaceful and the rooms are immaculate, the breakfast is superb, the Westray smoked haddock and one of Jan's scones is... More

Holland House was wonderful. Jan was a gracious and generous host. The food was marvellous and nothing was too much trouble, including doing my washing and greeting me whenever i returned. I cannot recommend Holland House highly enough. It is truly a 'home away from home'. More

We stayed five nights. The accommodation is lovely, the food excellent, and Jan and John are superb hosts. They know just how to combine a relaxed and friendly approach with a flawless standard, and really go the extra mile to help. The location is good, too - handy for all the main sights on Mainland and for ferries to other... More

We stayed at the Holland House for three days and were delighted! The central location is ideal, with all major attractions only 15 minutes away by car. At the same time, we loved the tranquility of the country setting, with a beautiful garden and farms across the lane. You will struggle to find a B&B anywhere with more attention to... More

No matter how hard the wind is blowing or the rain falling on Orkney, the sun is always shining in Holland House. These weary travelers were first made to feel at home by the sight of the Stars and Stripes flying above the leafy oasis that is the walled garden of Jan and John's lovely B&B. An 18th. century portrait... More

If you're going to Orkney, then stay here! It is a guarantee of a wonderful stay. You feel home right away. I enjoyed my stay very much, and will happily return and stay there the next time, I'm visiting the Orkney islands. More
