My visit goes back to about 1995. The evening meal had to be pre ordered and the Landlady's son played the pipes to indicate that the meal was ready. There was also a family business farming the Loch. Excellent hotel and hospitality.

Absolutely outstanding! Excellent food, service, rooms. From the moment we arrived until the time we left, we were shown the best hospitality has to offer, especially the dog. Towels for muddy paws, water bowls, treats and poo bags at front door and also masks (for those of is who misplace them). Dinner and Breakfast were fabulous, bedroom was cozy and comfortable. Absolutely delighted we found this place.

Lovely hotel, but we had tight room on top floor Orkney in converted attic space, with no shower, just a bath with lean to ceiling above it, and shower head, not much for our money. That said, the property itself is a lovely getaway, superb dinner (oysters and lamb - wow) , exceptional breakfast, lovely cosy bar, lounge with chess/fire and a fully serviced full size snooker/billiards room with proper cues/chalk/rests etc in immaculate condition and superbly maintained. We loved that. In terms of staff and service both ladies who met us at reception and served us dinner/breakfast from Canada

Locally sourced products, good wine selection and very friendly staff. Would recommend pork belly dish and pigeon breasts starter. Too bad the restaurant room isnt as nice as their garden which is extremely well maintained and overlooks a loch. Would have been nice to have the option to eat on their terrace.

We had an amazing visit. The staff was lovely and helpful. The food was great and they were able to serve me gluten free food for my celiac disease. I would definitely suggest Greshornish House and we are planning to return!
