Lovely staff, presentable common areas, breakfast choices limited but a freshly cooked breakfast is offered. Unfortunately the rooms are super dated and old fashioned for a premium price over £150 per night. In the uk they would struggle to get £60 per night.

  • Taking off from or arriving at nearby airports can sometimes be cheaper. Enter your preferred departure and arrival points. Next, click on the 'Nearby airports' function below the form fields to look through your options.

  • Bundle your hotels, flights and car rental into a money-saving package deal. Save your hard-earned money for things you're really excited about, like exploring every corner of Shetland Islands.

  • You'll need to present photo identification such as your passport. To avoid delays while checking in, make sure you reserve your tickets under the same name as your government-issued ID. It's worth having digital copies of your travel documents too, just to be safe!
  • If you're flying direct to Shetland Islands, it's likely you're going to be in the air for quite some time. Take lots of snacks and entertainment to keep you amused. Now is the time to pick up that novel you've been eyeing off!
