Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Orkney

Featuring views of Scapa Flow, Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast is a detached house in a rural location near Stromness. Free WiFi and free private parking is available on site.

We loved our visit to Orkney, and Lindisfarne B&B did not disappoint us. Staff was friendly and informative, breakfast was delightful, and location was quiet and peaceful. We arrived on a late ferry, but the B&B is minutes from the Stromness terminal and they were ready to receive us in their home. If we ever return to Orkney we will be happy to stay here again.

Bellavista Guest House, hotel in Orkney

Bellavista Guest House enjoys a location in Kirkwall, 13 miles from Ring of Brogdar and 12 miles from Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray.

Nice place and people here. The room was fine though the double bed and room made it a little tight since the room was small but that was not a problem really. Overall the place was fine.

Everything. The room, the bathroom, the shower, the breakfast, but foremost the owners and their work re-habing the house and future plans. Very exciting!

    Everything we needed for our trip to Orkney. A good-sized room with a private bathroom, ample off-stteet parking and a shared kitchen in case you want to cook yourself. A ten minute walk to Kirkwall and the ferry pier across a nice park and just around the corner from the major supermarkets. John was a great host and gave us some very helpful tips before our trip including pre-booking restaurant weeks before you arrive and tickets to Skara Brae and other historical sites.
