This was such a fantastic place to stay while we were in Shetland for Wool Week. David, our host, was extremely attentive and made sure we were right at home, showing us the place, asking what time was best for breakfast, and ensuring that the other guests (builders) were quiet while we were there. It is about 10 or 15 minutes outside Lerwick and the views were just absolutely stunning.

The staff was wonderful - courteous, friendly, kind and super helpful whenever we needed anything. They seemed to make every effort to be sure that their guests are well taken care of and have an enjoyable stay. Our room was spotlessly clean and our bed was extremely comfortable. Housekeeping was attentive as well. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The restaurant was also excellent, with attentive service and delicious food. The location is in a gorgeous and magical part of Shetland. I look forward to returning on our next trip to Shetland!

It is perfectly situated. This grand beautiful historic building is being renovated by the present owners. I had a room with a sea view which was magnificent. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I loved the towel warmer and excellent water pressure in the shower. The staff were amazing. Sam, the owner’s son, went above the call of duty to provide towels and vacuum the sand I tracked into the room. Harvey, the owner, was fantastic! He even gave me a ride to the bus station. If you are interested in historic preservation this is the hotel for you. It sits actually into the sea next to Bain’s Beach. I had a fabulous week at the Queens Hotel.

Chef Micky not only made me feel very welcome, he also made the BEST breakfast! All kinds of choices and I had eggs and bacon. I loved looking out the window to the bay. I also loved the coffee!! Parking very convenient. Restaurants, shopping, the wharf, docks all right there. Historical buildings abound and The Grand Hotel is among the very best.

The house is nearby the sea and there is a lovely path, the Knab Road, that leads you along the sea with stunning views. There is an old graveyard as well, some Dutch sailors are buried there. In 5 minutes you are in the centre of town. Breakfast is very good with the charming nice Thai lady.

Lerwick has so beautiful views.

Lerwick has so beautiful views. The town is a typical Scottish 1970s town. We visited in Mid October and found many of the eating places to be closed for a holiday. Most of the shops are closed on a Monday and a Wednesday. Lerwick was easy to park and walk around.

Scalloway is a great wee place.

Scalloway is a great wee place. Stunning views and excellent coffee shops. Had breakfast in cafe - so helpful and lush food. The shop, chemist, and cafe, views over the harbour and people friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

i was quite shocked at how little shops and restaurants were on the island, we did go on the 28th December until 2nd January and the majority of the shops in Lerwick (the capital of Shetlands) were closed until 6th January, there were very limited restaurants open, so cooked at home in the lovely rental property that we had. There were 2 pubs (but not what you would expect as pubs) in Brae and a CO-OP and a leisure centre, thankfully the CO-OP was open all the time, and there was a Chinese take away that was open and a fish and chip shop that was closed. The pace of life is slow, if you don't mind cooking for yourself, its a great place to go, if you like eating out, then its 23 minute drive to Lerwick........but remember Scotland has a ZERO TOLERANCE to drink driving, so NO ALCOHOL and driving what's so ever, so you always need a nominated driver or Taxi, which would be tricky i would expect. Overal a nice chilled out trip, although if the property wasn't as good as it was, you could be counting down the days in the winter months

Great access to Muckle Roe, must see destination; lovely home cooking with farm fresh ingrediends (the lamb is a must); generous size, renovated room with modern bathroom; reliable regular bus service to other places in Shetland for those with backpacks, the isolation from town is a bonus, so relaxing; helpful and friendly service

A lovely base for some bracing walks around the lochs & voes with a excellent choice of buses too taking one to Lerwick & south to Sumburgh or North to the Northern Isles or the wonderful windswept wilderness of Eshaness, home to moonwalking Shetland ponies. You’ll have to ask your cab driver about that!

Its lovely little village, about 10 miles from Lerwick. It has lots of walking paths and great view of the ocean. Close to lovely beach with white sand. There is a little shop not far away from property. Very friendly neighbourhood.

The hotel is in North Maven, the most northerly and wildest part of the mainland of Shetland but, as the island is relatively small, easy to reach from either Lerwick or Sumburgh Airport. Main roads in Shetland are of a high standard and the single track roads to more remote parts add to the excitement! Impressive sights include Mavis Grind, where, it is said, a stone can be thrown from the North Sea to the Atlantic. The rugged cliffs of Eshaness and must be wonderful in wild weather and do'nt miss the chance ot visit North Roe and Sand Voe

Parking was easy. View of the water.

Parking was easy. View of the water. Inadequately heated - very cold. Refrig and micro dirty, soiled frying pan. Poor communications from owner. After informing him of the above he left and never came back. I left after 1 night of an expected 4 night booking. A disappointing experience. I slept in my clothes and coat to stay warm.

This was a great place to explore Shetland from.

This was a great place to explore Shetland from. But important to have a hire car, to get to all the different sights, and booking restaurants in advance is important, even if it's just for the following night, although the takeaways were a great backup.

Shetland Islands in four days was not enough (especially as one day was very wet and we couldn't do much). Scalloway is a great base: easy to travel into Lerwick and to all parts of Mainland Shetland.
