Excellent in every way
Reviewed By SteveSkisVdaStayed for 3 nights during a cycle tour of Shetlands. This was my favourite of the hotels we stayed in. Most important was the warm welcome from the friendly and helpful staff, but also loved the great breakfast and dinner, the comfy beds and nice room, lively bar with Sky Sports and some good locally-brewed bottled beers.

5. Spiggie Guest House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 102 reviews
Small country licensed guest house with fully flexible arrangements to provide for self catering, serviced apartments or serviced rooms and suites. Convenient for the local airport but far enough away so you can have peace and quiet.We have a founded reputation for offering great food using the best of local ingredients and we cater for our guest's requirements -including the cooking of your own catch!We keep it personal at Spiggie and consider guests as part of our family.We overlook the RSPB Nature Reserve of Spiggie Loch and enjoy one of the most beautiful locations in Shetland.
Unique location on South Mainland
Reviewed By Andrew MFor a fishing. birdwatching, and or cliff walking holiday, the Spiggie Guest House offers a unique combination of all three. Located above the Loch of Spiggie - a large well-stocked loch that is also a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Protected Area for Wildlife Conservation it provides the perfect base for exploring what is on offer at a single near-by location. A cosy bar and meals featuring local Shetland produce can be enjoyed after long summer's days (when it barley gets dark). Don't expect 5-Star amenities - as it is simply not that kind of a place. What it lacks, however, is more than compensated by the beatiful surroundings and local charm.
6. Glen Orchy Guest House
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 101 reviews
The Glen Orchy is a converted Edwardian Convent located two minutes walk from Lerwick city centre. We are situated in a quiet neighbourhood with views which overlook the town and both Lerwick and Breiwick Bays, across the street from us is a golf course along the coast which also boasts great walking routes. We are family owned and operated with a few specially selected staff. We do our very best to make our guests feel welcomed and valued, we want everyone to have a pleasant stay and leave with good memories. We try to make the extra effort for our guests because we know they have come great distances to stay with us.

Very clean, I recommend and I would like to go back.
Reviewed By Sam TFantastic, clean and everything you want for self-catering. I lovely house with a spacious and well equipped kitchen. There were lots of little things that make all the difference such as a washing basket in every room and a strong hairdryer. And it's only £5 for a tax back from the town centre, if you want to go out for a few drinks.
8. Orca Country Inn
Overall Ratings

Friendly, cosy, ideal centre for bird watching, walking, situated half way between airport and Lerwick in picturesque rural setting, surrounded by trees. Self catering to allow guests maximum flexibility in planning their itinerary.
Whole place to ourselves!
Reviewed By SueAitkenAlthough essentially a 6 room guest house because of Covid restrictions we had the whole place to ourselves including use of a well-stocked kitchen . The place is very homely and is not a modern designer location but it is warm and very comfy. The location is great with lots of nearby walks and things to visit. We chose it because it is only a relatively short drive from Sumburgh airport and was an ideal place to start our first trip to Shetland. There is a small but well-stocked convenience store close by where you can buy plenty of things for a self-catering stay. It's listing on AIRBNB is a bit confusing as the address is shown as Sandwick whereas it is actually in Hoswick. Follow the sign to the hotel and you will soon be there! John the owner is always nearby if needed and is full of useful local information!
