    cozy room
    quality breakfast
    missing iron
    lacking ensuite

    A delightful home away from home

    I had a wonderful stay at this guesthouse, where the host Caroline truly made every moment special. My room was cozy and comfortable, complete with a nice view. The breakfast featured quality items like thick bacon and fresh eggs, which set me up perfectly for the day ahead. It was also very considerate of Caroline to offer me a key to change after a wet boating trip, showing genuine care for her guests. On the downside, I did miss having an iron in my room, but that's a small detail in an otherwise fantastic experience.

    dusty areas
    shared shower

    i was truly disapointed with the suffocating cleanliness of my room, i mean, dusty areas! And one shower for eight rooms? absolutely absurd! I simply expected a complimentary gesture, maybe an upgrade after such inconveniences, but alas, i almost thought of a good review but just couldn’t—how awful!

    cozy room
    hearty breakfast
    friendly staff
    kitchen noise

    I had a delightful stay at Solheim Guest House. My room was cozy and comfortable, featuring charming decor and a wonderful view of the sea. Breakfast was an absolute highlight, with hearty options including full Scottish, delicious porridge, and fresh fruit. The staff, particularly Caroline and Andrew, made me feel like part of their family, offering great recommendations for exploring Lerwick and beyond.

    Some noise from the kitchen.

    cozy ambiance
    delicious breakfast
    peaceful garden
    tricky stairs

    I loved the cozy ambiance and the delicious breakfast options every morning. Relaxing in the peaceful garden area with lush greenery and a cozy seating nook was a highlight for me. The only downside was the stairs being a bit tricky with luggage, but I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone needing a comfy stay! 😊

    cooked breakfast
    convenient location
    busy bathroom

    great breakfast , but noisy shared bathroom

    Breakfast was cooked to order with a nice variety every morning. The location is ideal, being just a short walk to shops and the harbour front. I found the bus service convenient, as the stop is right outside, making it easy to reach the airport. Many takeaways are within walking distance, offering a range of food options.

    Shared bathroom facilities can get quite busy at times, especially during peak hours.
