The room was excellent although not cleaned during our stay. The breakfast was excellent. The bar was good. BUT the evening meal was chaotic. Some of the menu was unavailable. I am not sure what were the problems but there didn’t seem to be the flexibility to provide an available menu for the residents.

Old property but really well updated. Almost empty for my stay at very start of season so my single room on 2nd floor was quiet. Room clean and comfortable. New ensuite with walk in shower 10/10. Breakfast continental or pay extra for cooked. Parking easy ( you really need a car) and Scalloway very well placed for touring. Hotel closed for food in evening whilst I was there and not much else locally but really enjoyed my stay and would definitely use again.
