Friendly, clean hotel. Lovely location, continental breakfast was included but various cooked options were also available. We ate in the bar one evening and drinks in the bar both evenings we stayed, both very reasonably priced & enjoyable. Mix of locals and hotel guests, good atmosphere. Would recommend and would return.

Pleasant comfortable stay, good food

We stayed for a few days while exploring Shetland. Our room was comfortable and warm, with a modern (if snug) en-suite bathroom. The dining room had a good and interesting menu; dinner portions were enormous. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. There was, at times, a little music from the bar audible in the bedroom.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I really liked the hotel and it was very quiet for my stay. Ear plugs were provided so I am guessing it can get noisy from the bar at times! My room (a single) was small but I liked it. The mirror in the bathroom (a lovely big mirror) was badly cracked - 2 long cracks - but not over the main area above the sink so it didnt bother me particularly. The room and bathroom were generally clean, though there was a fairly small amount of mould on the grout in the shower. Breakfast was good, though I didnt have a cooked breakfast, just continental, which I enjoyed, with both Regular and Oat Milk provided. The room was warm with a good heater andna heated towel rail. In all a very pleasant stay

I was disappointed with my return visit to this hotel. My room was clean and comfortable but the noise of the extractor fans in adjacent rooms were noisy and woke me early this morning. Breakfast was slow and made me run late for work that I was travelling for. Lovely location and friendly staff.
