Lynnfield - Carta

A comfortable hotel with helpful, friendly staff and ample parking. Our room was well designed with a spacious, modern bathroom. There was some state-of-the-art electronics that took us awhile to get the hang of, but all good eventually. Situated next door to the Highland Park Brewery, convenient!

Appears to be a very popular restaurant for locals and cruise ship travelers, so book in advance. The decor is dated but the food was quite good. It was the first night in a week my husband's meat wasn't overcooked. He was very happy! Staff-h seemed a bit short-handed but we were there for a leisurely dinner.

Step into the lounge and you go back in time with the old furniture and Orkney chairs. Go to your bedroom and ultra modern with a panel that does everything electronic. Beautiful bathroom again with an ultra modern shower. Food is excellent, we had breakfast, lunch and dinner during our stay. Waiting staff very helpful. Ver carta

Amazing rooms with all mod cons, spacious and decorated well staff couldn’t be more attentive and friendly. Food was fantastic, well made, tasty. We stayed for tea every night of our stay. They even offered for us to stay longer as we were getting the late night ferry to Shetland which saved us finding a restaurant then waiting for hours in our car to catch ferry.

My experience at the Lynnfield Hotel for lunch was pleasant. Our server, a delightful young lady, provided attentive but not intrusive service. The food was a bit lackluster overall, however, the sweet potato soup of the day was a highlight. The hotel and restaurant are located a bit off the beaten path, so make sure to enter where the sign is and drive up the hill a bit to reach them.

My mom and I dined at this restaurant on our final night in Orkney. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. However, there were long waits between courses, possibly due to a shortage of kitchen staff as many tables were left waiting for their food. The staff, though young and not entirely confident in their roles, were polite, trying their best under the circumstances, and apologetic for the delays. The setting of the restaurant is lovely, and while the wait may have been a one-time occurrence, it's worth going as long as you are prepared for potential delays. Ver carta

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!

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...

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...
