Providing free WiFi and a garden, Solheim Guest House offers rooms in Lerwick, 500 metres from Bain's Beach. The guest house features family rooms.

The nearest airport is Sumburgh Airport, 41 km from the guest house.

The hotel was neither far from the center of the town (about ten minutes walking distance) nor from the countryside (in less than five minute's drive could be out and away of town). Breakfast was abundant and more like a Scottish breakfast than a continental one. Could keep going till dinner time without a real need for a lunch break.

At the guest house, units include bed linen and towels.

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.

Great location! Clean and welcoming. Decorated in a pleasing eclectic style- there was always something catching your eye to look at. Great staff- enjoyable to chat with, and I was under the impression that staff have been at GO for a while, so I assume they are treated well as employees. Loved the room- a great view, quiet, comfortable, and a well stocked tea tray & kettle. Would stay at GO again, no question!
