I "met" the host on the phone a month or so before we arrived and by the end of the conversation we were already fast friends. The room was spotless and provided everything we needed, including a place to put our bags and adequate power outlets for charging phones etc. (both pet peeves for me). The breakfast and conversation were... More

Very nice and room and bathroom, quiet and modern. WIFI working perfectly. Breakfast very nice and very warmfull owner : very helpfull to start earlier service to ensure that I have breakfast going to work. A place to stay

We had 8 nights with Shoona and it was great. Though from the outside the pictures will show another grim, pebble-dashed Orkadian building, inside it is light, clean and modern. Downstairs a large breakfast room and sitting room has great views over both a freshwater lochan full of diving birds and of the sea towards Churchill Barrier No 2 and... More

Stayed here on our walking holiday. Perfect guest house with a most obliging owner. We'd left a unique adaptor in our previous hotel in Kirkwall and the the hostess took the bus back to Kirkwall and recovered it for us. Exceptional. Rooms were bright and clean and the breakfasts overwhelimng. Wonderful views of Scarpa Fllow. Highly recommended

Lovely room, extremely clean, comfortable, modern facilities, free wifi and an outstandingly kind and generous owner. She got on a bus and travelled back into Kirkwall to collect the plug adapter I left in St Ola Hotel!

We were mystified by the rave reviews of this B&B. We spent two nights in September. The cramped room at the top had a lovely view but the bed was overly soft and the room smelled of old cooking oil. We asked for suggestions about places to eat - St. Mary's is pretty remote and the sun sets early -... More

We stayed 2 nights and it was perfect! We had a warm welcome and the room was perfect. The location is just so beautifull with the views over the bay. If you want to visit the island, it's a perfect location. The breakfast is just so large, that you can't eat for a whole day! You just choose from the... More

This is a slightly belated review, but my good memories of The Inn will last a long time. Simply how a B&B should be - a wonderful, warm, friendly and local host who genuinely cares about her guests' happiness. Clean, well equipped rooms with wonderful views, and a great location for exploring the major sites of the island. The food... More

its a real shame our visit wasn't longer here because we found the perfect place for a Orkney visit. We will be going back to stay at the INN as soon as work allows, wonderful people, fantastic location and a top quality breakfast, what more is there to say? cant fault the rooms, they wanted for nothing. We wont hesitate... More
