The meals were delicious and the staff was outstanding, friendly, and helpful. Storm Babet even extended our stay by two nights. We had a great experience at Lynnfield and will definitely be coming back.

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.

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.

Place has the feel of a slightly worn minor country house (which we liked) to it, menu whilst quite short still offered a good choice for everyone (we don't eat meat). Service was timely, food well prepared and presented, and whilst certainly priced on the higher side, offered good value for what you received and for the whole dining experience. Oh yes and a good wine choice too.

We ate here twice during our week in Kirkwall as our guest house was nearby. Excellent service on both occasions, and very good food. read more We ate here twice during our week in Kirkwall as our guest house was nearby. Excellent service on both occasions, and very good food.
