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.

The bed was comfortable. I loved talking a bath in a deep bathtub after a long day of exploring. Breakfast was tasty in the lovely dining room. Many options, including hot food from the kitchen, and the day was always started off right. The visitor center is just down the lane and a bus stop is a block away. Very convenient.

    This was in a great location and there was a nice view from the living room window. It was a good base for exploring Shetland. The shops and museum in Scalloway are within walking distance but there is also a bus stop at the bottom of the hill if you prefer.

    Lovely views overlooking Scalloway and the inlet, in an historic building and location (check out the history board near the flat). The flat is clean and well equipped and Michael supplies some handy basics to get you going while you settle in. Michael is a lovely host and will help you plan your stay with lots of information on what to do and where to go. Scalloway is a great location with cafes, convenience stores and a castle. It is only a 10min drive from Lerwick with regular buses.
