If Norlande was a Hollywood movie, I would say it had the highest production values! Amanda's communication was excellent, which I valued during a very erratic journey to Shetland for a funeral. The room was beautifully decorated and had everything I needed. It was a well positioned room, with a great bathroom and facilities, especially the monsoon shower with built-in radio. The bed was so comfortable, better than any of the big brand places, and I slept so well. The breakfast hamper was a delight and had more than enough supplies and snacks, which kept me going at breakfast and even at night at the end of a long day. The location is just 8 mins walk from Commercial Street and the main strip with its bars, restaurants for lunch and dinner, and for the shops too The Isleburgh Community Centre, Town Hall, and new library are all a short walk away. A taxi from the ferry to Norlande cost £4.50 with Allied Taxi (book ahead!), or you could walk in 15 mins on a drier day - they DO happen 😆 Amanda herself is very hospitable and welcoming. I would recommend Norlande any day.

Located just a 10-minute drive from Lerwick, Herrislea House Hotel is licensed and offering snacks and mini meals using local products, free WiFi in all rooms, and free parking.

each of the 9 well-appointed, individually decorated bedrooms has a minibar and an en-suite bathroom.

A very cosy house with most helpful, friendly hosts. The hotel is situated in a quiet area about 10 minutes drive away from Lerwick (with a fascinating museum on the geology of the islands and the history of their people); the location is very convenient for excursions to another part of the islands every day. My room was equipped with a large fridge (very nice – grab your provisions for the day and be independent), also microwave and an electric kettle.

    What an amazing property, in an amazing location delivering a quintessential Shetland experience. The property was exactly as we expected - quaint, quiet, central, clean, warm, and with everything you need. The owner was fantastic to work with and couldn't be more helpful and obliging. We were able to park our hire car right at the front door most nights. We absolutely loved this property and the Shetland Islands

    A well-run guesthouse in a charming building from the 19th century with original details intact. I had a nice and quiet room overlooking the neighbours’ gardens. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had everything I needed - like a kettle and tea/coffee, plenty of hangers, a desk and a sink. The staff was friendly and service-minded. Location was very good, and also you can park on the street. Everything was very clean, and well-organized. I will for sure return.

    Very central, we had twin room on 1st floor - never saw anyone so it was very private! Great value for money, all we needed was a place to sleep / shower and that’s what we got. Had breakfast in the town. It’s not brand new / trendy / spotless but if you want that, pay more for the posh hotels! Suited us down to the ground, cheap and cheerful with a lovely host.
