The meal in the creel restaurant was once more quite simply the best I have ever eaten. I am local from the village and have eaten here many times over the last 25 years and have never been served anything less than perfect, I have dined in many restaurants throughout the world, , London, Hong Kong, Thailand, Norway to name...

Be a little cautious about what you expect from The Creel. We expected a first-class seafood restaurant ( Rick Stein, Good Food Guide), with rooms attached. All reviews mention fantastic fresh ingredients, with the chef buying whatever looks best from the boats that morning. That is not what we got. Starters were very good, but all of our main courses...

Stayed here for one night and dinner at the end of August 2011 at the beginning of a long weekend in Orkney, and all subsequent accommodation and eateries we visited had a lot to live up to by comparison. The quality of ingredients for both dinner and breakfast were exceptional, and among some of the best I've had anywhere. My... More

Food to dream about while enjoying a lovely view over the bay and being treated to friendly service. We stayed for 3 nights and had a wonderful time. In addition to the best breakfast EVER we got great advice each morning for local walks. The room at the top is good - plenty of space, warm and comfortalbe. Well worth... More

We stayed here for one night in late May 2011 purely from the reputation of the Restaurant. Firstly i would like to say that the food was superb and utterly great value - i think it was 30 squid for 3 courses, all of which were of the highest quality! A must in the Orkneys! The room was comfortable and... More

My boyfriend and I took my Mum and Dad (both in their sixties) to Orkney for a short break to celebrate my Dad's birthday. We had a mad internet search for a B&B and after discovering that Orkney leisure industry starts to shut down in September had a lucky break when we secured two rooms at The Creel. And we... More

I have eaten a lot of breakfasts, so I say it with it some authority, that this was a breakfast above all others. It's rare to be served by your famous owner chef - prepared to serve a fish special for breakfast in addition to all usual full Scottish or haddock and egg... We had a seafood risotto (for breakfast!!)... More

Looking at a map of the Orkneys with St Margarets Hope down on South Ronaldsay, it does not look like a particularly good base for a holiday exploring the many delights of the islands. However, this is misleading because the roads are excellent and it really does not take very long to get anywhere, Kirkwall is 20 minutes drive away... More

The room was a good size if a somewhat odd layout. (bathroom down a corridor next to an unsed room). The furniture was modern and clean and the room was warm with lots of light. The breakfasts were amazing with homemade bread and jam and were big enough that we didnt have tobother with lunch. The only downside was the... More
