Excellent location near downtown Lerwick. Parking is very easy. We were in the Superior Suite, and the bedroom and bathroom were comfortably large and well laid-out. The double sink is a nice touch. I enjoyed the continental breakfast options provided. The accommodations exceeded my expectations!

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.

A very cosy house with most helpful, friendly hosts. The hotel is situated in a quiet area about 10 minutes drive away from Lerwick (with a fascinating museum on the geology of the islands and the history of their people); the location is very convenient for excursions to another part of the islands every day. My room was equipped with a large fridge (very nice – grab your provisions for the day and be independent), also microwave and an electric kettle.

    The beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was great. It was an easy walk to City Centre, the seaside or two bus stops. The hosts were very nice and accommodating and the furry host, Archie, was sweet.

    We had a wonderful weekend stay at Carradal Guest House and was easily within walking distance of the centre of town, the museum etc. Breakfast was really good. Callum was the perfect host and for instance recommended walking into town by way of The Knab.

    Perfectly situated, this lovely Guesthouse was within walking distance of the centre of town and the harbour. A lovely walk up the Knab and stunning views. We stayed for Up Helly Aa and couldn't have been better placed. Our room was clean and breakfast was lovely. Caroline was the perfect hostess and couldn't do enough for us. Would definitely recommend.

    A well-run guesthouse in a charming building from the 19th century with original details intact. I had a nice and quiet room overlooking the neighbours’ gardens. The bed was very comfortable, and the room had everything I needed - like a kettle and tea/coffee, plenty of hangers, a desk and a sink. The staff was friendly and service-minded. Location was very good, and also you can park on the street. Everything was very clean, and well-organized. I will for sure return.
