8/10 Good
"Handy hotel for parkrun. Good quality I’d expect from its rating but shocked they didn’t supply a toothpaste which I’d forgotten. Even as an Airbnb Host I would be able to do that and would expect nothing less from a hotel, especially when listed available in their hotel info book"

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent
"This is a lovely, clean and inviting B&B - made exceptional by the couple who run it. My room and the whole place felt spacious, the views are lovely (across fields down to the harbour), and also the location is great even if you don't have your own transport. I'm vegan, and not only was there plenty to choose from, but they'd have got in more had my message got through the system soon enough! I had fresh fruit and toast every morning, and having breakfast cooked to order was so nice, too :) The main X1 bus stops a couple of minutes from the B&B, though I ended up walking to and from the harbour and town - partly because on Sunday the buses don't start early enough to get you to the ferry to Hoy(!), and then because I realised how quick the walk is (20 mins there, maybe 25 mins back uphill). But it's an excellent location to see everything from, with or without a car. So many nice touches go up to make this a great place - from things like having proper big cups in the room to make tea, to incredibly comfy beds and a blackout blind. And the hosts are just so lovely: friendly but professional, and obviously happy to share their enthusiasm for the islands they're from. I'd recommend this B&B unreservedly."
