All the previous reviews have said it all! This is an exceptional B&B where everything has been thought of and considerately provided. I wish there could be a Bellavista everywhere I go! The best B&B I've stayed in. Thank you to the Walls family.

I have been staying in the Bellavista (on business) for one week. I normally go to another B&B, but is was full up. What a find!! The house is beautifully located near to Kirkwall bay. My room is spotlessly clean, very comfortable, with its own air conditioning system, flat screen TV, etc. Fluffy towelling bath robe provided, along with fresh... More

found this place by chance in 2007 - and kept returning to. The Walls family will give you a welcome which - even in Scotland - shall be deemed exceptional. The house has ground floor and upper floor rooms, ensuite. Very nice breakfast selection with exellent marmalades/jams. Bird watching during breakfast included (bird feeders installed in front of breakfast room... More

My partner and me spent 4 nights in the Bellavista Guest House and we couldn't have been happier! The location is great, being close to Kirkwall, but in a very quiet area. Directly at the water, so plenty of opportunities for evening walks. The service was great! Lots of leaflets at the front door, amazing choice of breakfast and in... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and everything was perfect! Lovely room and bathroom, very clean: this b&b is situated in a quite road, near the sea (there's a lovely bench where you can sit and admire the sea view). The breakfast was very good, you can choose if you want a cooked one or not. It's 2 miles away... More

Its a comfortable place, with nice clean rooms, excellent breakfasts and its a great base for travel around the islands. The walk from the town by the harbour is great with... More

We had a great time at this B&B. The rooms were clean and tidy and well-appointed. My wife and I loved the good-sized shower and our daughter loved that she could see horses outside her window :) Breakfast options were among the best we have seen with some fantastic local cheeses! The only down-side was that it was a bit... More

A perfect b&b, with lovely facilities. I stayed in an immaculate single room for four nights and was made to feel completely at home. Wifi was available and a free pc for guests' use if you didn't have a laptop - complete with printer and honesty box for payment of printing! The breakfast was excellent. On one day I was... More
