The hotel is very well situated for exploring the full area of the Shetland Islands. The rooms are spacious and comfortable. There is plenty of parking space and there is a fuel station next door and a very good fish and chip shop across the road, both of which are very useful.

Easy to find, well located, onsite restaurant - which helps because Brae only has the chippie and one other place to eat and both of those close early! Eveythjng you need is here to pass through en route to Unst and beyond.

I have stayed here many times in the past but it seems to have regressed. Restaurant food was average at best and almost £400 for 2 nights in a tiny room is just scandalous. I most definitely won't book here again!
