"Exceptional"

10.0

Een prachtig hotel! Op een heel mooie plek, met uitzicht over een baai. Vanuit het hotel kun je een wandeling van ongeveer drie uur rond het schiereiland doen, en op 10 minuten rijden kun je vanaf de vuurtoren wandelen langs de spectaculaire kliffen van Eshaness. Wij waren er vijf nachten en hadden een heel erg mooie kamer (nummer 7) met twee losse bedden, goede matrassen, zacht tapijt, een ruime badkamer, een ligbad op pootjes, en fantastisch uitzicht. De mensen van het hotel zijn gastvrij en vriendelijk, en de koks van het restaurant koken érg goed. Het hotel is gezellig.

"Lovely stay with beautiful scenery"

9.0

Beautifully located, good sized rooms, great staff. The hotel is popular with locals and tourists alike and offers a good range of dining options (though reservations are a must and you should not be in a rush). Ample parking available

The hotel is getting on the older side - though it remains full of charm

"Authentic Shetland hospitality"

Hotel was full of character and I really enjoyed staying there. It's not swish if you are after that. It's authentic and the staff go out their way to help you.
