The hotel offers reasonable sized, clean rooms with a fine view over the bay, complemented by friendly and helpful service. The location is convenient for exploring local attractions, but a car is recommended for getting around. The dining experience is good, especially with the local fish offerings, although the hotel may be understaffed during peak times.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, modern, and overlooked the beautiful St Magnus Bay, giving me a luxurious feel with a stunning sea view. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff who were genuinely interested in ensuring my stay was memorable. The location, though a bit out of the way, was perfect for exploring Unst and Yell, and it was so convenient for visiting North Shetland. The dining experience was fantastic, with delicious farm-to-table offerings that kept me satisfied all day. Overall, a great value for the money and a wonderful place to stay in Shetland.

The hotel is uniquely situated facing St Magnus bay, offering a charming old wooden building ambiance from Norway via Glasgow Exhibition. The location is a little out of the way but excellent for accessing Unst and Yell, making it perfect for exploring the spectacular scenery of Shetland. The friendly and attentive hosts ensure an awesome stay with complimentary tea, fresh coffee, and cakes brought up to the room upon arrival.

The room had a lunch or dinner feel to it, although lacking some basic amenities like a headboard. The unheated room until 17.45 made drying wet gear difficult, without even a hairdryer available.
