We only had one night in this beautiful hotel but, when I go back to Orkney I won't even consider staying somewhere else. Absolutely gorgeous room with a huge bed, lovely dram and wine to welcome us. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was very relaxing, the type of place you can relax with a drink and a good... More

This is a gem of a hotel, furnished throughout to the highest standard, bedrooms are large and well appointed. Bar has over 250 whiskys available, Malcom is a perfect host and will describe any dram before you make your choice. Highlight must be the open fire in the residents lounge, sip your malt here watching the fire die to some... More

We found this hotel when looking for a meal, although we were staying in a B&B. From then on we ate there every night. The food was fresh and inviting - in particular the seaweed fed lamb was excellent as was all the seafood on the menu. Coeliac Disease was easily managed with their personalised service. We thoroughly enjoyed the... More

Stayed 4 nights in August on our way to Shetland. Room was spacious, the bathroom was massive and we appreciated the four poster bed. The small decanters of Highland Park scotch (distillery next door!) and local wine were a lovely touch. The staff and manager/owner, Malcolm, were all very helpful and friendly. Lovely people who all went that extra mile.... More

A group of 14 of us with 7 classic cars stayed at the Lynnfield for 4 nights while we explored the wonders of Orkney. The rooms were spacious and spotless, with warm and well-equipped bathrooms likewise spotless. The breakfasts and dinners were excellent, with a good variety of choices, quality ingredients well prepared, and good service too. On our third... More

Popped into the Lynnfield last week at 2.30pm to enquire whether or not it was possible for a spot of lunch. The member of staff laughed at me whilst telling me that they stop serving at 1.45pm I thought this type of service had died out in Scotland. Obviously not in Orkney. More

The hotel is situated on the edge of Kirkwall, a stone's throw from the Highland Park distillery (which is definitely worth a visit). Whilst being fairly ordinary from the outside, the inside has been decorated and furnished to replicate a comfortable old country house hotel, and this works very well. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We paid a... More
