Along with my tour group, I stayed at the Lynnfield Hotel in February 2024 and it was fantastic! The rooms, the service, the friendliness of the owner and staff - I cannot thank them enough for taking care of us! Our breakfasts, packed lunches, and dinners were second to none! I hope I can return one day, thank you!

We had lunch at the Lynnfield Hotel. Our server was a lovely young lady, who provided attentive but not intrusive service. The food was quite bland, although the soup of the day (sweet potato) was tasty. The hotel and restaurant are removed from the road, so enter where the sign is and drive a little up the hill.

Two reviews, really. One for the restaurant (fastastic) and one for the hotel (just okay). I ate breakfast and dinner on multiple days. The food was consistently wonderful. The waitstaff were exceedingly pleasant and attentive. My room (Summerdahl) didn?t live up to its website advertisement. The lighting was extremely dim and gloomy. Access to any of the electrical outlets required shifting antique chairs and a very heavy bed. Loo paper wasn?t restocked, nor were there tissues. I had to scrounge some from the public toilet. Duvets barely reach the edge of mattress, so once you?re in bed, some body part is always subject to drafts. The hall passage to my room appeared to be cluttered storage for surplus chairs and antiques. The handicap accessible lift was also being use to store extra chairs. My bathroom was large and modern, but the stopper for the lovely tub wasn?t functional.

The hotel has great cuisine, the restaurant is also visited by many (including locals) who are not hotel guests. The menu has a clear regional influence and the food tastes very, very good.While you're there, you should also take a look at the fireplace room (or at least that's what I would call it). :)

The food is fantastic, as is the service. It's the only place I have ever ordered liver because they have the magical ability to make it taste good ? The owner was very attentive and we were made to feel very welcome. The seafood was fresh and delicious and the mutton was wonderful. It's expensive but worth it for a superb á la carte experience. They have an amazing selection of scotch.....if only I liked whisky ?

First time here on holiday though second visit and it has got even better. Staff were friendly and pleasant throughout. We used two different rooms at two ends of a week in Orkney - and the room in the ?old? part of the hotel has a 100% modern bathroom and more ?oldie world? furniture. The room in the newer extension was lovely with an equally good bathroom though more modern throughout. Hotel was quiet at night so sleep good and good blinds/curtains to cope with the near midnight sun. Breakfasts excellent and the two meals at the restaurant were a please. To note: friendly staff, lovely resident?s lounge (whisky or mint tea!) and superb showers!

I must admit that the first view of the hotel as you come up the drive isn't particularly inspiring as the colour of the walls is a particularly bilious shade of green in my opinion, but don't let that put you off. This hotel is a mix of a comfortable bric-a-brac shop and the bridge of the Star Ship Enterprise! You step into an old-fashioned, comfy hotel with knick-knacs everywhere, squashy sofas, a real log fire and a seriously impressive display of whisky, then enter the bedroom where the light turns on automatically when you open the door, the window blind (amongst other things,) can be operated from the electric control panel by your bed, there is a nightlight not only in the room, but in the bathroom, and the beds are really, really comfortable. Oh, and you have your own doorbell as well! Even the Do Not Disturb/Room Free signs are discreet lights on a panel outside the door. We stayed for two nights and ate at the hotel both nights. The food was very good, with a short-ish menu but a decent choice to cover most tastes. The one downside was the service which was appallingly slow. The staff themselves were very pleasant, but the wait between courses was close to unacceptable. That was the only downside however, and if we make it to Orkney again will certainly be looking to stay here.

My Mum and I had a meal here on our last night in Orkney. The food was well presented and was delicious. We did have to wait for a long time between courses and, we suspect the kitchen had a lack of staff as many tables had no food for a good amount of time. The restaurant staff were all young and, though not all confident in their roles yet, were polite, trying their best in the circumstances and apologetic about the wait everyone had. It's a lovely setting, it may have been a one off with the waiting that evening but, if not, as long as you know to be prepared then it's worth going.
