Smithfield Hotel

Fine

We had a great stay. The whole team very helpful and very friendly. Great breakfasts. The best prawn cocktail I've ever had. Thank you. Vikings also made an appearance.

Unfortunately the restaurant was closed. I only found out after booking. The nearest restaurant entailed a £40 return taxi fare

Great breakfast options and the staff are friendly!

Central & quiet location to explore Orkney,. Clean. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast

Excellent location to explore Orkney

Ivy and Ann Marie are great! Loved our stay at the Smithfield. Gas and groceries across the street. Breakfasts were fantastic. Dinner options in the immediate area are limited. Surrounding area is beautiful with relaxed atmosphere.

The most expensive unmanned (except by appointment) B&B on Orkney. No restaurant or bar.

This place was clean and comfortable with a nice breakfast. However, we booked it as a hotel with a bar and restaurant, which had ceased to operate by the time we got there. This is an issue in a fairly remote location with no other dining options. We were hiking, and the nearest place was almost 2 miles away. It needs to rebrand as a bed and breakfast. Although the staff were lovely, reception was usually closed with a phone number to call.This was the second time this has happened on our trip to Orkney. There seems to be a serious issue with finding staff, even though demand is high. While we were there, at least half the guests were hikers and cyclists. With no restaurant, perhaps the former hotel facilities could be converted into a self catering lounge with kitchen area, maybe a washer dryer. Drying room for boots and wet coats would be good. The life saver is the big Asda across the street with a good selection of food and alcohol!
