Norlande, hotel in Lerwick

Excellent host. For a UK guesthouse, it was in exceptional physical state and cleanliness. Convenient central location. Lerwick has a beautiful historic downtown which hasn't suffered from the blight of pebbledash stucco like other parts of Scotland.

Eddlewood Guest House, hotel in Lerwick

Eddlewood Guest House is located in central Lerwick. Rooms are equipped with a flat-screen smart TV and each offers tea and coffee making facilities. Each room has a private bathroom.

Loved the view of the water from our room. Loved that we had a hidden opening to a second small room behind the bookcase. Loved the breakfast. Located a short walk from Commercial Street and the Harbor of Lerwick and as we were fortunate to have good weather (except for wind), enjoyed the walk.

Islesburgh House Hostel, hotel in Lerwick

Located in Lerwick, a 6-minute walk from Bain's Beach, Islesburgh House Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

The manager that took care of our stay arranged a different room for us than the one we had reserved, because we are somewhat elderly and not really able to handle stairs. He prepared a room especially for us that we could access with the lift. He went above and beyond to help us! Helped us with laundry facilities etc. Great guy!

    I was in Lerwick during a stretch of unpleasant weather - cold and rainy with strong winds sometimes gusting at gale force. I would not recommend October or probably not winter. I will return, but next time in May or June! The city and surrounding towns are worth the visit. Next time I make the journey I will go to Kirkwall, too,

    This is where you need to base if you want to explore the Shetland Islands. We found a great tour guide who took us all the way to the northern end of Unst and with his 40+ year history on the island was a wealth of information. Message me if you want his contact info. We also did one of the wildlife boat tours which was great!

    We very much enjoyed seabird watching tour departing from the small boat ferry port in Lerwick, which is really recommended! We brought a car rented at Aberdeen to Orkney/Shetland by ferries and it was nicely worked. Taking your own car is recommend as the great bird watching and archaeological sites are far away from Lerwick. Unfortunately the puffin season was over when we were in the Orkney/Shetland. I would like to visit again to see puffins!

    Lerwick, well known to many people because of the TV series 'Shetland', is a charming town with many interesting features. Most importantly, the people are very friendly and welcoming to visitors, a good thing as during the summer months it is a regular stop off for cruise ships. The town centre is tucked just behind the sea front and contains interesting local shops, cafes and restaurants. Our favourite was 'The Dowry', which has great food and excellent coffee. Visit Fort Charlotte, take a walk around the Nab for breathtaking views, catch a ferry across the sound to the island of Bressay, peruse the outstanding (and free) Shetland Museum or walk out of town to explore the ancient Broch of Clickimin. Of course, there is also a tour of the locations used to film 'Shetland'.

    Lerwick is a great base for shorter excursions around the islands. We could have stayed longer for more hiking and half/full day visits. Shetland has a lot to offer. The nature is outstanding and people are very friendly. We really enjoyed our tour with Lara Thomason who guided us around south Shetland and took us the the north west cliffs of Shetland. Very knowledgeable and pleasant to hang with. Next time it will be for hiking!

    The real treat of Maryfield House hotel is James and Nelly's willingness to arrange special food off the normal menu. When I arrived I asked if there was any fresh lobster and Nelly had cooked some that afternoon. It was delicious. The next morning I asked for Mussels and James was sent to get some. Again delicious. A special place to stay, made more enjoyable by the six minute ferry ride from Lerwick. There is a long term car park five minutes walk from the ferry in Lerwick

    The location was great. Slightly out of Lerwick and convenient. The hosts were attentive and gracious. The place was clean. They had everything you could possibly need for a self catering cottage. The Wi-Fi was fast and easy. They had good blackout curtains. This matters in the summer! I would stay there again definitely!

    Loved the location, very walkable around town. The hosts were very helpful- I was able to leave my luggage both before and after the trip as I was on the ferry, arriving early and leaving Lerwick later in the day. The breakfasts were great.
