A large group lunch - the kitchen coped well and the staff were delightful. Instructions on a dietary restriction had not been passed on to the staff and did cause initial problems - but the place is lovely (if a little cluttered -no all old stuff is good old stuff!)

We booked for five days in a room called Tammy Norrie which was furnished to a high level with a bathroom fitted to a high standard including a separate Jacuzzi. The view was out over the city. The proprietor is a hard working involved manager who has the time to be most helpful and with a collection of hundreds of... More

Our stay at the Lynnfield Hotel in Orkney was a delight from beginning to end. Upon entering our charming room with attached sitting area, we were struck by it's spaciousness. Filled with antiques, is was as though we were making a stay with old friends. Our bathroom was clean and quite large with both a whirlpool bath and a shower.... More

My husband wasn't impressed with... More

The bedroom was a great size, with everything and more, that I could possibly want. I even had my very own little sitting room, complete with chair, sofa and TV. The... More

Went for a meal. Surroundings homely, relaxed and welcoming. Food delicious, service excellent. Would recommend highly.

Arrived in Kirkwall and went looking for a good 4 star hotel! Little did we know - there is just one The Lynnfield - Orkney is just wonderful and we just loved the island - but they could do with some more good hotels!! Anyway We had a very nice room and the beds are to die for! Had a... More
