9.2/10 Wonderful! (94 reviews)
It was our first time in Shetland and from the day we arrived the staff could not have done anything more for us they went over and above to help us with places to go things to see . We arrived 5 hours early and they still let us check in so we could catch up on some sleep, Scott and Curtis are just fantastic they also go over and above to help they so friendly and happy which was nice to see and the singing was not to bad either ,The hotel is located in a very central location as there is a Chinese five minutes up the road and a chippy two minutes walk down from the hotel and a coop at the bottom of the hill , that is of course if you don’t want to eat in the hotel as the food is just as good too. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

9/10 Wonderful! (2 reviews)
Nice place with ever-present owners bending over backwards to help in any way possible. The rooms are comfortable with basic amenities and coffee, tea and similar available. I particularly liked the well equipped shared kitchen and the lounge. Above all, the view from the inn is stunning. Note that it is in a peaceful and quiet area with very little in the way of local amenities, although Lerwick is only a short drive away. On the downside, the new owners are still finding their feet, and the Inn is still a work in progress. That said, most of the deficiencies are minor or cosmetic, so that didn't bother me at all.

"The hotel was clean, warm but dated. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The fact that there was no restaurant meant no meal or breakfast but the staff advised me of lovely alternatives. I believe the hotel has just changed hands so probably just getting things organised and i hope it works for ..."
