Lynnfield Hotel & Restaurant 4 Star Rated

The hotel is charming, all the staff are so kind and helpful. The rooms are spotless and I found it just perfect. The breakfast was all I could ask for. It’s a small hotel with 20 rooms and is very quiet next to the Highland Park Distillery. Don’t be expecting it to be the Waldorf Towers, however. I found it equally as lovely and God willing I will return.

Have you ever wanted to see what a truly luxurious hotel was like, and still go somewhere interesting like the Orkney islands? Well if you are curious, this is the place for you! The rooms are fitted out with wonderful antique fittings, the ensuite bathrooms are wonderfully modern, and the in-house catering is simply the best I have ever tasted. The hotel is quiet and guarantees wonderful sleep (4-poster beds even), breakfasts of sheer wonderment and the hotel is very handy for the centre of Kirkwall. There's free parking at the hotel, free WiFi in the hotel (decent speeds too, not the normal weak signal and dire speeds) and all of this is dog-friendly too. I cannot sing the virtues of this hotel eloquently enough. Come here and eat in, you will not be disappointed!

The BEST Place to Stay in ALL Scottish Isles||High Points: unique old house feel, Andy at the front desk jack-of-all trades with St. Magnus jewelry to boot, the canopy bed, the hotel views, the in-room shortbread, the bathroom with separate tub and shower, ample sitting space; architecture of a special front room for a private function; huge tv||Low Points: no magnifying mirror in bathroom, requests for lightbulbs for nonfunctioning lamps never came, dusty headboard; strict checkout policy (even for 15 minutes); left hat got no hotel response about lost and found||Unique Points: the feeling of the house, the pride in the flag, the remote place for the grounds (a bit of a walk back from town uphill)||F&B Big Threes:|Food: adequate from the vegetarian menu; 6 out of 10; the amuse bouche was the same as the vegetarian soup I ordered, the chips came with no sauces offered with the dry "vegetarian sausages"||Service: 3 different female servers offered bread but it took 4 request to get some; some in training and some seasoned pros; breakfast was the same||Ambience: nice view and buzzing dining room; table 11 was perfect for me

We found out that this was the only restaurant where North Ronaldsay mutton was served, so we decided to try this. The views from the dining room are extensive and the food didn't disappoint. The plate of prawns was enormous and the meat delicious. The mutton was very tender and was very lean compared to other mutton dishes I've tried. (We didn't stay in the hotel, but given the number of foreign cars in the car park, it seems to be a popular destination!)

Excellent hotel with extremely friendly staff. Malcolm is a great host. The food was top class. I am a ceoliac and that was no problem. Our dog was allowed into the bar area and the lounge which was great. We were given a goodie bag for him on arrival and a list of dog friendly walks over the whole area. Thoroughly recommend 👌

Nice spacious rooms and lounge areas for relaxing. A very traditional feel to the hotel. Located next to Highland park distillery, and 10 minute walk to the high street.

Very very disappointing experience in the restaurant. So far we have been eating very good in scotland and this is the first dissapointment. The food is boring and has absolutely no taste and no salt. Would not recommend to eat there!

We enjoyed our stay. Most comfortable beds of our trip in Scotland! Large spacious room. Wonderful showers. Breakfast was very good. I am glad we based ourselves at Lynnfield while exploring the Orkneys! I enjoyed the view from the hotel. The owner Mr Stout has a long family history from the Orkneys and is very proud of his heritage. Thank you again for everything during our stay.
