The hotel is in a wonderful location affording great views out to sea and is not far from the center of Lerwick. The rooms offer a pleasant stay, though the lack of a window was a real pity as the view was wonderful with it open. The service is top-notch with tasty dishes, and the dining experience provides regional products. The facilities are convenient for guests to enjoy their stay.
