Arrived on later ferry with rain pouring down and missed the house on the way past therefore did not get to The Inn until after 8pm. Were met by Shona and Mike who are the most welcoming hospitable hosts we have met in a long time. Nothing was too much trouble, As we hadn't eaten, Shona offered to cook us... more

We visited many guesthouses, hotels and B&Bs during our tour of Scotland and this was definitely the best of the lot. Shona and Mike are brilliant hosts, the rooms are very comfortable and the breakfasts are amazing. We honestly think that Shona would see it as a failure on her part if anyone was able to eat any lunch after... more

The title says it all really, along with the other reviews. This is a warm and welcoming B & B, 15 minutes drive from KIrkwall. There is a bus stop nearby so you don't have to have a car. We have never had such a choice at breakfast, not even in a four star hotel we experienced some years ago.... more

We undertook a driving holiday, mainly of Scotland, from Heathrow airport, where we landed and hired a car, up as far north as the Orkney Islands and back again. We stayed primarily at bed & breakfasts found over the internet, checked out via Tripadvisor where possible. We received a nice welcome from our hosts on the Orkneys, and had a... more

My wife and I arrived at the INN Guest House at 10:00 PM and due to a discrepancy with emails (i.e., I didn't update our change of plans), Mike and Shona thought we had changed our plans and were not staying. No worries! Mike was extremely pleasant and hospitable and showed us quickly to our cozy room with a great... more

We spent 10 days travelling throughout Orkney and Shetland and this was one of the best places we stayed. Unbelievably clean and comfortable with an amazing, amazing breakfast - and to top it all, wonderful hosts. This is an absolute gem of a B and B and what all other B and B's should aspire to be like! Please stay... more

What a wonderful place to stay, to be honest I was not expecting such an immaculate, well presented guesthouse, as the tariff is so low. I have stayed in places that are twice the price and were miserable. The rooms are beautifully decorated, clean and fresh; I did not have my usual urge to pull back the bedding to check... more

I have stayed in most of the hotels in Orkney over the years and none can compare with the INN . Our room was excellent, very comfortable bed, super shower, not the miserable dribbling things that you get in other hotels! Great views. Outstanding breakfast with marvellous fruit salad and bacon and eggs to last the day! We asked for... more

For a start, I can’t thank Shona enough for putting me in the room with a view to die for -- it was such a treat to watch the sun setting on the sandy coast of Orkney (which doesn’t happen until 11pm!) for two nights in a row! Situated in Holm and a leisurely 30-minute walk from the Italian Chapel,... more
