What visitors say
This was our second overnight stay. The apartment was very well equipped and comfortable, a lovely home away from home. The fridge was stocked with everything needed for breakfast in addition to bread, pastries amd fruit. The welcome was warm. We have recommended to colleagues and will stay again.

Great place to stay in the heart of Lerwick. We were here for Hogmanay and not a lot of restaurants and cafes open so we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. The rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable and the whole apartment was perfectly maintained and clean - it felt like home and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if in Lerwick.
