スミスフィールド ゲストハウス

Whilst the hotel at present does not have a bar or a restaurant, it is a superb B & B and caters for your every comfort. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the bedrooms/bathrooms clean and bright, and the breakfast choices excellent. There is a supmarket opposite if you wish to purchase nibbles or drink. It is 10 mins drive to Stromness and half an hour to Kirkwall, max. You can eat locally at another hotel also. Safe car-parking at the back. I wouldn't hesitate to come back here again or recommend it.

A hospitality business with no hospitality. Need to phone up to get access. Owners only there by prior appointment unless you’re lucky. No restaurant or bar and told too late to get other acceptable accommodation. Nothing in the village except a small supermarket. Probably the most expensive unmanned B&B on Orkney. A grossly misleading website. Loved the menu still on the window!!! How this place can call itself a hotel beggars belief.

Had dinner in the restaurant at The Smithfield last night, service and food excellent. I am on a gluten, dairy and egg free diet and my choices were incredible.Very good menu. I had the Skara Brae burger without a bun (my choice) with dairy free cheese, mushroom, onion and bacon. It came with the freshest most delicious salad, beetroot relish, 2 hash browns and chips. Absolutely yummy. The Orkney beef is very good. I thoroughly enjoyed it and ate every bit. My friend had a delicious pasta dish and my Mum a steak, all thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend.

Dinner on an autumn Sunday. Lovely setting at sunset. Friendly but slow service - still waiting for our wine while a later-arriving couple was sipping theirs - but to be fair, our server was working two rooms and they were probably understaffed. The wine was excellent. So was my wife’s dinner. I tried langoustines for the first time and was underwhelmed. I’m used to U.S. shrimp, but still. I mentioned the relative tastelessness (and perhaps a bit chewy?) to a server at a seafood-specialty restaurant a week later; she said they’re usually enjoyable and that mine were probably overcooked. So I’d skip those. The rest of dinner was very good.

Highly recommend The Smithfield for an evening meal. Lovely menu and the food was absolutely delicious. The 3 waitresses on duty were all very smart and really nice and friendly a real bonus to the hotel. We will certainly be back.

Lovely hotel. Great food and friendly helpful staff. Comfortable rooms and great, really tasty, locally sourced, food in the restaurant. Good choice for all tastes and good vegetarian options are available. Booking for restaurant is advisable, but not alway necessary.
