Woodwick House may not offer cutting-edge decor but this is a wonderful place to stay. The big house has a fantastic setting within one of the very few wooded areas on the island. The semi-wild gardens are great for a stroll and there is a small river that tumbles down to a secluded beach with views out to a small... more

Staying at Woodwick House is like staying at an old friend`s- a welleducated , cultured friend who likes good food, books , unusual music ,art , has a `green ` attitude to life and lacks the money and the inclination to espouse the modern and the minimalist school of interior design .So if you expect a boutique hotel experience you... more

Has potential, but the room was filthy, the bed horrible and service mediocre. The location was off the beaten path but potentially lovely. The food was very good. more

As you can see from the other reviews, Woodwick is not for everyone. If you are looking for four or five star luxury above anything else, than Woodwick, and probably Orkney in general is not for you. If you are interested in exploring a truly magical group of islands with a remarkable history from a very welcoming and comfortable base... more

We chose this hotel because it had been so highly recommended in guide books and we were not disappointed. Although our room was a bit small and simply furnished, the beds were comfortable and it was clean.

Woodwick House offers utter relaxation, which is why we keep returning. Its idyllic setting by the mill stream, with ancient dovecote and a woodland walk leading to the shore, is perfectly peaceful. The informality and warm, friendly welcome make you feel as though you're staying with friends. The large en-suite double room, which we always have, has enticing views over... more

Magnificent quiet location near the bay and on a lovely burn (small stream) with a carpet of bluebells in May, followed by beautiful fuschia bushes. Wonderful breakfasts included in the cost and dinners which are extra. James is the manager there and... more

We arrived at this hiddenaway hotel and were welcomed warmly with tea in one of the lounges which had a wonderful view of the garden and the sea. We stayed two nights and loved it. It is not like a normal hotel; it is like going back in time and staying in an English country house with an overgrown garden,... more

With a late booking, we stayed in the twin room and to be fair to the owner, were advised that we would be sharing a bathroom. However, what we didn't know was that we would be sharing the bathroom, which had one bath with a shower attachment over it, with 7 (SEVEN) other people. To add to our discomfort, our... more
