We stayed here for 3 nights in April on a touring holiday. Jerry and Shirley made us very welcome and the breakfast was lovely with some very nice personal touches, such as the hot cross buns and creme eggs on Easter Sunday. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. We would definitely stay here again and have recommended it... More

From our first arrival to our final departure 5 days later, we were so well looked after we might have been at a 4 or 5 star hotel - in fact, I don't think any hotel I've stayed at can compete when you look at the Hildeval experience as a whole. The owners, Jerry & Shirley were very friendly and... More

We had a great recent stay at Hildeval. This B&B is only a 10 minute walk from the city centre and was perfectly located on the outskirts. We had no problems at all in our stay and both owners were very helpful both before we arrived by email, and during our stay. The breakfasts were wonderful too! Would definitely stay... More

I ditched my usual Kirkwall hotel to try something in a lower price bracket - and came up trumps. Close to the centre of the town and an easy drive from the airport. I stayed in the self contained studio flat which has its own entrance. Bijou but perfectly formed and with the benefit of a full kitchenette. Reliable internet... More

I have just returned from working in Kirkwall. I stayed for five nights with Shirley and Gerry at the Hildeval. The welcome my companion and I received was warm, friendly and informative. My friend was allocated a large twin room and I was given a self contained studio; both had en-suite toilet and shower, were nicely decorated and spotlessly clean.... More

Spent a wonderful night at Hildeval B&B in July 2011... The views were beautiful and the rooms are large, clean and comfortable. I stayed in a single room on the back of the house which was quiet and perfect for the night of rest I needed. I was able to have some tea in my room before going up to... More

Modern Hildeval B&B in Kirkwall is just right for a several day stay exploring the ancient sites, the distillery, and the golf on Mainland Orkney. The breakfast lounge has a fantastic view of the bay and breakfast was great with interesting options--the Orkney kipper was bigger than the plate. Our room was huge and comfortable for a several day stay.... More

The Hildeval is an excellent B&B, which I whole heartedly recommend. It provides luxurious accommodation, that is immaculate, combined with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Its location is excellent for exploring Kirkwall and the rest of Orkney. Gerry and Shirley are clearly very committed and passionate about providing the highest standard of service. It offers excellent value for money and... More

Although it was a little difficult to find (no sign on road frontage), once there it was a great place to stay. Shirley and Gerry are very welcoming and nothing is too much troouble. They even helped us out with our laundry problem. The room was very comfortable and going upstairs for breakfast looking out over a fabulous view to... More
