I spent three very interesting days in the Orkney Isands. You can't do better than to stay at the MIll of Eyreland, near Stennes. It is a large, comfortable, converted mill, good sized rooms with lots of antiques. A charming property run by a lovely, helpful and interesting lady named Morag. She wil tell you down to earth stories about... More

We stayed for two nights at the Mill of Eyrland - and it was a wonderful time. We had a warm welcome although we arrived late and the family room right under the roof was perfect. The atmosphere is charming and we a had a great breakfast (fruit and plenty of joghurt!). We felt right at home and if we... More

Stayed 2 nights at the end of August 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed our room (the Mill Burn) and the Mill itself. Very historic building beautifully restored and full of cosy nooks and crannies. The bourbon biscuits in the room was a nice touch after a rainy day, and the breakfast spread was excellent (although you can skip the sausages -... More

This is a Bed and Breakfast with lots of character. You will feel welcomed and at home staying with Morag. The Mill is in a beautiful countryside setting yet close to many sites you will want to visit. The breakfast room and the breakfast was as good as it gets. It would be hard to find a better situation on... More

This B&B is probably the best we have ever used. This is largely to do with the personality of Morag, the owner. She has blended the age of the mill with modern comforts. There are interesting objects everywhere - some to do with the old mill and some just because they are interesting. The beds are absolute luxury - all... More

A beautiful mill surrounded by fabulous countryside. The room was very comfortable and sympathetically dressed to reflect the beauty of the Mill. A very warm and cheerful welcome, much appreciated after the ferry trip over from the mainland. By the time we left we really wished we could have stayed longer. Everything you could think of was available for breakfast,... More

This is our first visit to Orkney (and Scotland!) so you don't really know what to expect when you make arrangements by email and web reviews. The Mill of Eyrland totally lives up to the fine reviews. Morag is the charming owner who is a delightful hostess. We were in the Hopper Suite which is a lovely room although too... More

We stayed for 7 nights in May 2011. Our rooms were lovely, the house was warm, the setting delightful and Morag, our host, friendly and attentive to our needs. The food was abundant and good.

Our stay at The Mill of Eyrland in June '10 was actually our fifth, starting in 2000. Initially chosen because it just looked fantastic, we quickly learnt that it really was. Nothing seemed too much for the proprietor Morag, even down to picnic lunches which were impossible to beat. The fact that we go back so regularly must say something,... More
