    Cozy base for exploring the Shetlands.

    There wasn't a reception. Our key was on the wall with our names on and we received clear instructions via the app on how to get into our room. Honestly it worked well. But maybe having someone on site to checkin with would have been nice for some people - but if you aren't fussy about that then it's ok. I would stay again.

    Pleasantly surprised that keeping rooms warm is a thing in the Shetlands. Warm room, simple but hot reliable shower. Very nice. It's not like a modern hotel but felt cozy. Like staying at your Gran's but better. Breakfast was lovely and so was the lady who serves it. She gave us lots of nice conversation and helpful advise. I also like that the other tourists who stay here are totally not like the brits you find in Alicante The breakfast area is a place to hear interesting stories and pick up tips of where to go.

    Comfy bed, delicious breakfast, nice staff, close to everywhere. It is located near the stunning Berwick view which was perfect for a morning or an afternoon walk. The view was amazing. There was several bus stops near the house as well that could take you to many places, including Scalloway, Sumburgh Head, Ferry terminals, Old market, etc. I felt like home. As an island girl myself, it was amazing to see how Shetlanders live. The Shetland Islands are really beautiful and people are really welcoming.

    A quiet pleasant guest house.

    Nothing really. The blinds in bedroom are of an old model that gets entangled easily. I didn't try to hard to lower them down as I don't mind sleeping with a bit of light from outside. Someone who likes to sleep in the dark will be likely to close with the blinds. More vegetarian options at breakfast would have been good.

    The room was very quiet with no traffic noise. The bed was comfy. Room and toilets were clean. Location was central. Staff was helpful.

    I'm struggling to think of anything that I didn't like.

    The location was great, close to everywhere we wanted to go. It was easy to park outside. The room was comfortable and quiet with views out to the sea in one direction and the hills in the other. The atmosphere in Carradale was friendly and laid back and we started to feel relaxed almost the moment we arrived.

    However the breakfast room was not very big, and when filled with guests from two houses, it became noisy and overcrowded. Room was on the 2nd floor accessible by a fairly narrow staircase and with a suitcase, it was a bit of a workout.

    I liked the comfortable room, breakfast was good and plenty to choose from.
