"The hotel is very well situated for exploring the full area of the Shetland Islands.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable.
There is plenty of parking space and there is a fuel station next door and a very good fish and chip shop across the road, both of which are very useful."
"We were on a 3-week tour of Highlands & Islands. Owners Andrea and Paul were stupendous hosts! So kind and helpful! Food, especially dinner, was first class! We learned much about the history and where to visit. Irving, the waiter, was charming. We strongly recommend."
"The only issue was lift not working but Jane helped to take luggage up the stairs. Breakfast a very wide choice table service. Very clean room and restaurant evening meals very good. Parking around the reception area but confusing when you are not driving. Hence the luggage issue."
