About St Magnus Bay Hotel
A golf course within easy reach is one of the more unexpected perks of St Magnus Bay Hotel, given how remote and wild this corner of Hillswick feels. The hotel sits in the Shetland Islands, a destination best suited to those keen on open landscapes, birdlife and quiet coastal scenery rather than fast-paced sightseeing.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Breakfast is included, and a 24 hour reception means arrival times can be flexible, useful for a location that takes some travelling to reach. There's no mention of an on-site restaurant beyond breakfast, so a nearby pub or bar covers evening meals and drinks.
Outside the hotel, Hillswick offers plenty for active guests: fishing spots, cycling routes and walking paths all sit close by, making it a practical base for exploring Shetland's coastline at whatever pace suits. It's a straightforward, well-equipped stopping point for those planning to spend their days outdoors.
Guests mention this hotel offers delicious, freshly prepared food, including scampi and lentil soup, and comfortable, spacious rooms with ocean views. They also highlight the friendly and welcoming staff, who provide great service. Visitors appreciate the hotel's picturesque location, making it a great basecamp for local hiking and sightseeing.
