Stayed here on our walking holiday. Perfect guest house with a most obliging owner. We'd left a unique adaptor in our previous hotel in Kirkwall and the the hostess took the bus back to Kirkwall and recovered it for us. Exceptional. Rooms were bright and clean and the breakfasts overwhelimng. Wonderful views of Scarpa Fllow. Highly recommended

Lovely room, extremely clean, comfortable, modern facilities, free wifi and an outstandingly kind and generous owner. She got on a bus and travelled back into Kirkwall to collect the plug adapter I left in St Ola Hotel!

We were mystified by the rave reviews of this B&B. We spent two nights in September. The cramped room at the top had a lovely view but the bed was overly soft and the room smelled of old cooking oil. We asked for suggestions about places to eat - St. Mary's is pretty remote and the sun sets early -... More

We stayed 2 nights and it was perfect! We had a warm welcome and the room was perfect. The location is just so beautifull with the views over the bay. If you want to visit the island, it's a perfect location. The breakfast is just so large, that you can't eat for a whole day! You just choose from the... More

This is a slightly belated review, but my good memories of The Inn will last a long time. Simply how a B&B should be - a wonderful, warm, friendly and local host who genuinely cares about her guests' happiness. Clean, well equipped rooms with wonderful views, and a great location for exploring the major sites of the island. The food... More

We will be going back to stay at the INN as soon as work allows, wonderful people, fantastic location and a top quality breakfast, what more is there to say? cant fault the rooms, they wanted for nothing. We wont hesitate... More

Great location- handy for Gils Bay/St Margarets Hope Ferry and Kirkwalll, watch seals swimming in the bay from the bedroom window. Immaculately clean and tidy in an IKEA kind of way. All mod cons (including Sky TV and WIFI. Great breakfasts (plus snacks and lounge. Welcoming with sound advice for good visits and meals out. Returned from birthday dinner to... More

My American friend and I stayed 4 nights in spring 2011. Shona, our hostess, was very welcoming,wonderfully cheerful and very friendly. She is obviously dedicated to making her guests feel as relaxed and as at home as possible. Our room was immaculate, tastefully furnished and the breakfast was extremely good with a great chocie of freshly cooked hot dishes.The friendly... More

I just loved the location, Shona is such a lovely woman and lively, I wish her the best, she's on the right track. The breakfast she served us was amazing, we got served tomatoes from her garden, she was always chatty and always up for a joke. She has a 5 star service for a B&B, I slept in more... More
