This hotel is in a great location and the food is the best you'll find anywhere in Orkney. Melt in the mouth slow roasted North Ronaldsay Mutton was superb - rich dense taste like nothing I've ever eaten. Fillet steak was the best eaten all year. The chef is flexible if you prefer plainer food and the rooms are comfortable. Friendly helpful owners and staff - what more do you want? We'll be back.

Stayed here for 2 nights recently, the hotel was chosen on the basis of the food first, and boutique hotel second. it didn't disappoint on either. Excellent dinner and the service could be faulted on both evenings. Made welcome on arrival.
Room Tip: Ask for a room in the first corridor off reception - better view of Scapa Flow.

Stayed here for 2 nights recently, the hotel was chosen for us but on the basis of the food first, and boutique hotel second. it didn't disappoint on either. I think you might begin to struggle with the menu if eating here for, say, more than 3 nights - but for 2/3 there was plenty of choice - and neither the quality nor service could be faulted.
Our slight niggle (and only reason for rating 4/5), was our room. The size and facilities were no problem and everything you'd expect. However, a bunch of noisy elderly guests were in the room next to us, and proceeded to make every possible noise imaginable (TV, conversation, shower) from 6.30 in the morning. Whether it was their volume, or the thickness of the walls we shall never know - but both mornings we were woken soon after they "started" and couldn't really get back to sleep. At times you could hear their conversation sufficiently clearly so as to join in should you fancy.
We did mention this to the owner when leaving, but apart from confirming our suspicions on which group of guests it was.. nothing could really be said apart from the usual apologies. But would we let this stop us from considering a repeat visit? No.

A careful chef here takes the best that Orkney has to offer (it is bountiful and of great quality, especially seafood and locally reared beef and lamb) and treats it with care, ensuring everyone can enjoy the great flavours.
The service was attentive and friendly.

I stayed here wih my mum for four nights and could not fault it. The pictures on this website and really the hotel's website don't do it justice. The hotel is lovely, the rooms are clean and cosy (and by that I don't mean small) and the food fantastic.
The staff were all very friendly and willing to help in whatever way possible. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others!
