When I first read the reviews for Eastbank House, I was sceptical. They seem to be one extreme or the other. But, the price was right, and I thought it was close to the ferry terminal (it isn’t, but that was my own misunderstanding about where the ferry comes in, not anything to do with Eastbank House). I decided to... More

Contrary to other reviews the kitchen was spotless and tidy. Ok so not 5 star but I don't mind if the the bedlinen isn't "designer" it was all clean and ironed and the... More

On a golfing trip with friends and stayed here for the 2nd year in a row. Great breakfast, clean rooms and staff could not be more friendly. If you like a laugh this is the place for you. Kirkwall is a fantastic town too, we will be back next year.

The bed was meant to be a... More

The reception area was foisty and smelled of... More

We still don't know how we managed to book ourselves into such a horrible place! The room we were given was not the one booked. It was like staying in a squat. We only stayed one night of our four and went elsewhere. The matress was lots smaller than the bed. The bedding was mismatched and the valance was grubby.... More
