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.
