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.

There is no restaurant or bar open. Tried to go with friends yesterday as per Trip Advisor but found that the hotel is only open for bed and breakfast with no plan to reopen either the bar or dining room for food. Just pointing out for others like ourselves thinking they could go to eat that they’d have a wasted journey.

Nice hotel in a very small village, but crowded the day I was there, The Daunby Show.....

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.

Don't book this one if you have other options. It is a low level B&B, not a hotel. Room is small and not designed for a bedroom, big window is right above your bed, cold air will blow on your head when you are sleep. They give us a very small table for breakfast, I asked them is this table for one person or two? The answer was its for one person but it is for two of you. It is a very bad answer. Also, they only provide one meal for two person, they let us share one meal. I am a history researcher, when to many countries, never seen such bad service. Do not book this hotel if you have any other options. Thanks for reading.

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.

We had two evening meals and were pleased with the menu. Better than basic pub meals. Some lovely flavours. Very helpful to cater for my vegan wife. Food nice and hot and staff very friendly Only negative was being charge £5 (yes ! ) for a large Lemonade from a syrup hose dispenser. Didn’t taste at all good. The beer was cheaper but I don’t drink. Had water the following night served nice and cold from a nice stoneware bottled.

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.
