    The hotel and staff were excellent, I would have no complaints. The location is great just what suited me happily there was very little/no suitable accomodation in Lerwick or I would not have found this place. Only negative point I could make is for me for a single room I thought it was ecpensive, although as it was absolutely comparable with accomodation in the area at that time of year..actually cheaper than most, I cannot justify reducing the score for this. Evening meal and breakfast were also both very enjoyable.

    The Chalet was available for us at 0800 in the morning. This was really good as we diddnt want to hang arround all day waiting for the accomodation to be ready. The owner told us she keeps it this way so people can get the chalet when they come off the ferry. The veiw from the window was superb. The location was very quiet. There was ample parking nearby.

    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.

    Mark is a great host, quick to repond to emails and recommended some nice walks to do in the area. Flat is really spacious and heats up quickly for when you come home from wet and windy walks. Convenience store below flat which was handy when weather was too bad to travel to bigger shops. Lots of nice local walks you can start from the accomodation or some a 10 minute drive away. Really nice way to spend new year!
