The best restaurants in East Mainland, South Ronaldsay and Burray Orkney Islands Highlands and Islands

Unique place and worth the drive. My daughter and I went for lunch (with a reservation). It's in a fairly remote location. The outside and inside of the building a pretty to look at. The jewelry store portion is dramatic, with high ceilings and pretty lighting. The dining room is lovely with lots of windows and church-themed chairs and benches. Even the table centerpieces with salt, pepper, and menus are noteworthy for their appearance. The service was friendly. The food was delicious. Definitely try the Orkney Ice Cream with the Orkney fudge and toffee flavor. I loved mine. The meal put smiles on our faces.

This hotel has very lovely rooms, all with an amazing view. The dining room has a conservatory with a view! Nicely decorated rooms with a tartan touch, comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, superb power showers and hot water, with good WiFi signal in the room. Food in the restaurant was delicious with lots of variety on the menu and the specials. Staff were all lovely, Warm, friendly, helpful and the service was excellent. Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before so it’s served very promptly at the time of your choosing. If you are stopping anywhere on the Islands, book a room at this hotel, you wont be disappointed.

Sadly this wonderful place is closing. The welcome was warm and friendly, the setting simply amazing - you look out to sea at the Pentland Skerries, Duncansby Head, the north coast of Scotland - on a clear clear day almost as far as Cape Wrath with the mountains of Scotland .......... but down to the excellent food which is not unduly expensive but served with charm and helpfulness. - we had Chowder (5*+) seafood platter (5*+++) lasange (non fish eater!) 5* and amazing desserts. Could not have been a better experience and ranks 1st equal with one other Orkney restaurant! Just sad that it will not be operating under the current management next summer! We wish them a happy retirement!

Nice little bar/restaurant with decent pub grub and large portions and also very reasonable prices. Also friendly and efficient staff. Will certainly return

Ondanks het feit dat we laat waren door de ferry was er op het eten niks aan te merken. Heel lekker en de zaak zat goed vol dus reserveren is geen overbodige luxe..

Very friendly staff, fantastic view outside, nice dining area with a very delicious menu, nice clean and tidy room, we really enjoyed our stay there.

We called in for lunch on spec when the place we'd intended going wasn't yet open and were pleasantly surprised. Everything felt fresh and welcoming, the maps on the walls were fascinating, the service friendly. Huge amounts of excellent mussels for me, husband had the scallop salad. We were so impressed we went back a second time, when I had the scallop salad (excellent but actually a little too much for me!) and husband had sea food pasta which was also really good. Down sides? Being served by someone constantly chewing gum with an open mouth is somewhat off putting, and if you want feedback on the food, you come after it's been served and ask if it's OK or you need anything - you don't wait until the guests are paying and then ask "did you enjoy that?". Felt like my granny asking...
