Welcome to the Creel Restaurant with Rooms. We are situated on the beautiful Orkney Islands, in the far north of Scotland. A leisurely 20 minute drive south from Kirkwall, across the famous Churchill Barriers will take you to the picturesque village of St Margaret's Hope and the Creel where a warm and friendly welcome is assured from us, Alan and Joyce Craigie.

About the Creel

 We opened the Creel in 1985, and for the first five years here lived above the restaurant. When the building next door became available we bought it, made it into our home and converted the upper floor of the Creel into guest rooms. We offer three comfortable en-suite rooms, so you don't need to go home after just one dinner. Our large and sunny breakfast room also makes an ideal dining room for larger parties.

We pride ourselves on using the freshest ingredients in our food, locally sourced wherever possible.  Every part of our menu is created in-house from the muesli and smoked fish at breakfast, with sourdough and beremeal bread, through to sweets and shortbread at dinner.  Our style is unfussy presentation with carefully honed flavours.
