Pros: It was in a beautiful location on the edge of a loch so the views from our room were lovely. We were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny afternoon so we enjoyed pre dinner drinks sitting outside on the loch’s edge watching the sunset. We had one of the best meals in five weeks of travelling in Scotland...their hand dived scallops were truly delicious! Not the flashiest of hotels we stayed in, but it had a lot of charm with happy, friendly staff, great food...all made for a memorable stay.
Cons: Rooms and bathrooms aren’t the most modern, but didn’t detract from our stay.

Pros: It was low-season, so nice and quiet. I was upgraded on arrival, very nice. I enjoyed the full breakfast option. A good place to stay, on the water and a 1 minute walk to the High Street. Kirkwall is easy to navigate on foot and by car. Close to so many historic and other places of interest (such as distilleries). On my last day at the hotel I had to depart before breakfast service, so the hotel fixed me a little take-away bag and dropped it off at my door, nice touch.

6.7 Good
Pros: Staff were welcoming and helpful. Hotel is handily located in the centre of Kirkwall. Wonderful selection of whiskies in the bar with a knowledgeable barman. Kirkwall itself is a total joy.
Cons: Room had a rather quirky layout and felt like a corridor that had been turned into a room. Breakfasts were ok if a little greasy. Hotel feels a bit tired and in need of some cosmetic upgrading in the public areas.
7.5 Good
Pros: The staff were great - welcoming, helpful and friendly - I thought they were great. I only had breakfast, but it was lovely - the scrambled eggs were heavenly!
Cons: The hotel itself is a bit tired ... the room was okay but hadn’t been decorated or refurbished in years. But it was clean and warm. Given how busy this hotel is, it’s time the owners invested in an upgrade. Could take a lesson from The Ayre Hotel in Kirkwall - an old, traditional hotel with beautiful rooms.

Pros: We LOVED our stay at the Aviedale! Perfect for solo travellers or couples. It is so cosy and surrounded by beautiful landscape. The place is spotless and has everything you need from extra towels and kitchenware. The bed is super comfortable too. It was very easy to get to using the coordinates that were provided- thank you! Super hosts! We look forward to returning.
7.9 Good
Pros: Extras inside, like washer and dryer
Cons: Needed a comfortable chair or two
4.0 Okay
Pros: The breakfast was a complete fiction. The guest guide listed a wide range of breakfast food provided and included in the cost but NONE was provided. Only 2 coffee capsules on arrival.A bottle of red wine and additional coffee capsules were provided on 2nd day. We had to buy loo rolls as only one provided. Only 2 sheets of kitchen roll and no tea towels provided. No bin liners until 2nd day. Radiators controlled in adjacent property never came on so were cold and could only dry wet clothing using tumble dryer. Electric fan heater said to be in wardrobe not provided. Heating in kitchen using bizarre heated mirror...impossible to control and pretty useless even when on. Fridge so tiny that could hardly store anything and totally unsuitable for self-catering. Cooking facilities inappropriate for self-catering...only one hob portable induction hob. WC seat wouldn't stay up. Shower drain partially blocked so flooded when used
Cons: This is a fairly remote location which is good in some respects but makes it imperative that the unit is properly equipped for self-catering. This unit was manifestly not. Its a longish drive to the nearest supermarket in Kirkwall and so one wants to stock up but the fridge is so minuscule that it is impossible to store perishable items other than in tiny quantities. Cooking facilities are poor...a one place induction hob and a manky microwave which we didn't like to use.
10.0 Excellent
Pros: Clean and comfy, nice touches (maps and leaflets, bathroom products, tea bags etc) really comfy bed, AMAZING view and garden. Super easy check in and out too.
Cons: Everything was lovely although couldn't for the life of me get the coffee to work.
9.2 Excellent
Pros: We had a great time at the Aviedale Suite. It was exactly what we were expecting but more comfortable. All the facilities worked well and we were able to be completely self-sustainable. In the morning the views over the bay were lovely and it was a fairly short drive to all the locations we wanted to go to during our stay in Orkney.
Cons: Overall we had a great time although if we didn't have the car it would have been very difficult to stay here as there are no shops or restaurants nearby. If I was to nitpick, we brought some coffee to make in the morning but there as only a capsule machine, however about 8 capsules were provided at the start and this did us for the first few days.
