Lynnfield Hotel & Restaurant 4 Star Rated

The first thing I should say about the Lynnfield is that if you are a vegan looking for accommodation on Orkney, this is where you should stay. There always at last one vegan dish in the evening menu, they have several vegan desserts - including sticky toffee pudding and vegan pavlova!! - and they have both a vegan cooked breakfast and porridge option. The most wonderful tea with non-dairy milk was available on offer all day. A dream come true for a traveling vegan. Then there's all the regular amazing things! Our room was actually a suite with the most delightful, deep jacuzzi bath and separate shower with rainfall and regular shower head. The outlook is so gorgeous, and we were there in winter! The Lynnfield is also right next door to Highland Park distillery and the bus stop (or the place where you can hail a bus) is just at the end of the drive, veg convenient for getting to the center of town. We won't stay anywhere else.

Very nice to get back to Lynnfield hotel, although a day later than expexted due to the storm Amy and ferry cancellations. The hotel handeled the delay perfectly and all 6 couples felt welcomed and were very happy with the rooms that had reached a top standard since the last time we were there. We enjoyed the cozy reading room, the snug bar and the service and quality of the breakfast and dinner - not to forget the broad selection of whiskeys, which must be the best in Scotland. Excellent!

This hotel is now in my top three hotels I've ever stayed in. The room was amazing, the service beyond expectations, and the restaurant was wonderful. We stayed in the Langskill room. My wife booked the room and I didn't know what to expect. When the receptionist showed us the room and told me to look in the "cupboard." When I did and discovered a huge sitting room. The bed was very comfortable. The sitting room was very cozy for relaxing after playing tourist. The Jacuzzi bathtub was another wonderful way to relax. The shower was huge! American sized! The downstairs lounges and sitting rooms are great. Lots of antiques and comfy chairs and couches. The bar is very well stocked! Try the local gin. The restaurant was great! The food was mostly locally sourced and mostly made on site. The breads were fabulous. The staff were very attentive and really helpful for my dietary needs. Try the Pavlova, it's vegan and DELICIOUS! the receptionists are great sources of local information. I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel is really nice, but my experience of the manager was not a positive one. ||The room I was given (Sumardalr) is right next to the laundry room so was very noisy as the staff congregate outside the room chatting. Fine if you’re up and away by 8am, but if you want a lie in or some peace during the day, don’t select this room. I asked to change the room as I’d travelled a long way and wanted some peace, but the hotel was full. The manager said “the staff start at 9am, I don’t think that’s unreasonable”… I politely asked him if he could request that they are quiet in the morning if possible and he agreed. Well of course that didn’t happen and I was woken up by loud chatter. They kindly offered to change my room the next day. The new room, Aaks, was lovely and I was very grateful as it was much nicer. On check out the next day, they had added a mysterious £10 to my bill and the manager went through all possibilities of what it could be. I suspect it was a room change charge, but they reluctantly removed it from the bill. There were no apologies for the poor experience and the manager was just as grumpy on check out as he was when I asked to change room. I’ve heard he has a reputation for this which is bizarre for a customer service orientated role. Honestly it puts me off visiting the hotel again. |Just to caveat, the restaurant staff were lovely and the food was delicious.

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.

A pearl og a place! Especially for whiskylovers! The rooms and service is excellent! Food and drinks wonderful!|Close to Highland Park Distillery and a good spot to explore both Scapa Beach and Kirkwall City Centre from. At least if you’ve got feet to walk on💪🏼

Excellent large rooms great views, we found Lynnfield Hotel a great place to base ourselves to explore the Orkney Islands staying two nights, and being only a short drive to the ferry.

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!
