This really is an excellent B&B. Very comfortable rooms and a refreshingly wide range of price options depending on your breakfast option. Warm welcome from your hosts and plenty of good local advice. Exceptional value and we were reluctant to leave after five nights. It is however about one mile from Kirkwall town centre which is fine for a stroll... More

Very neat and clean rooms. All kinds of breakfast. A lounge and breakfastroom. Just to good to be true. We've stayed here for 3 nights with pleasure. Very friendly host too. Oh, and if it comes to money. This is the best price you're going to get! Recommended!

All the previous reviews have said it all! This is an exceptional B&B where everything has been thought of and considerately provided. I wish there could be a Bellavista everywhere I go! The best B&B I've stayed in. Thank you to the Walls family.

My room is spotlessly clean, very comfortable, with its own air conditioning system, flat screen TV, etc. Fluffy towelling bath robe provided, along with fresh... More

The house has ground floor and upper floor rooms, ensuite. Very nice breakfast selection with exellent marmalades/jams. Bird watching during breakfast included (bird feeders installed in front of breakfast room... More

My partner and me spent 4 nights in the Bellavista Guest House and we couldn't have been happier! The location is great, being close to Kirkwall, but in a very quiet area. Directly at the water, so plenty of opportunities for evening walks. The service was great! Lots of leaflets at the front door, amazing choice of breakfast and in... More

We stayed here for 2 nights and everything was perfect! Lovely room and bathroom, very clean: this b&b is situated in a quite road, near the sea (there's a lovely bench where you can sit and admire the sea view). The breakfast was very good, you can choose if you want a cooked one or not. It's 2 miles away... More

Well situated with beautiful views over the sea from the walk to and from Kirkwall; hospitable, friendly, helpful owner - Orcadian-born and bred, so extremely knowledgeable about the islands and offered useful, reliable recommendations for places to go, in addition to the comprehensive, up-to-date tourist information and library of guidebooks provided; comfortable rooms with all amenities and a well-equipped guest...
