海爾德瓦爾民宿(Hildeval B&B)

Amanda welcomed our family group of seven with Orcadian hospitality. The rooms all had themes with added touches of local art all over the bed and breakfast. There were books and information about The Orkney Islands which I felt was very useful. The dining room /lounge had a beautiful view of the countryside. We enjoyed spending time together in this comfy space, The breakfast was delicious with choices of traditional, local specials, smoked salmon, pancakes, and gluten free options. The table setting with flowers and Denby dishes demonstrated that Amanda and George really cared about making us feel special. There is also a handicapped room with an accessible shower, There is parking available, This was a lovely B and B, Gerry Winnipeg , Canada

We were placed in Hildeval by Rabbie's and boy, am I glad we were! Our driver stayed here as well and that's very telling. It's located nearby, a quick 10 minute walk from town or a £5/6 cab ride. We had the loveliest hostess who made us feel so welcome. A nice big room on the 1st floor with a picture window overlooking the front yard. Heated towel racks in the bathroom, disposable slippers, coffee and tea in the room. For breakfast we went upstairs to find that the picture window overlooked the sea and the host was a professional chef! Our breakfasts (ordered the night before) came out piping hot and delicious. Everything was homemade and there were ample cold items and fresh fruit on the side tables as well. Fruit was pineapple and strawberries and one day even fresh pomegranate. We were stranded in Orkney an additional night and so we were able to stay for three nights total. It was one of the most pleasant interludes on our trip and if we return to Orkney I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. I was very happy with our stay!!

I visited on July 10 and 11 with Rabbie's tours. Was worried since my room was on the first floor and faced the road that noise would be a bother, but it wasn't. The room was quiet. The bed was comfy. The shower was great. My host was kind. Breakfast was yummy; esoecially the homemade raspberry jam. The breakfast room and lounge area was airy and beautiful. Within walking distance of the water so I had a lovely morning walk before breakfast. No luck seeing the hedgehog but I did get a wee visit with Maisie.

This beautiful place is a dream. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The guest lounge has comfy chairs and a great view over the water. The lounge doubles as the breakfast room and there is not a bad seat in the house - that view! The food was amazing. The local haggis in the full Scottish is a must. As is the smoked salmon and scramble. And the marmalade. Etc. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Kirkwall centre. An amazing stay!!

I stayed here for two nights on a Rabbies Tour.The room and en-suite were very good and breakfast was superb being cooked by a chef who used to work in one of the best restaurants in Orkney.View from the breakfast room was fantastic.The only drawback is it is up a hill about a 15 minute walk from the town.A group of us got taxis there and back.The location is very quiet.

The Hildeval is a lovely place to stay in Kirkwall. The rooms are lovely, the dining room/living/lounge area is beautiful with a gorgeous view. The hosts, George and Amanda, are kind, lovely and helpful.

Ideal place to stay, look forward to next visit. From the lovely warm welcome to the comfortable rooms, the delicious breakfasts and all the choices, to the view out to sea and ample parking, this was lovely.

Our 2 night stay was fabulous. Room was a good size the beds were so comfy and the shower was brilliant. Great choice of breakfast options with the most amazing views from our table. Amanda and George were the perfect hosts friendly and helpful
