"I understand monies might be limited to keep a landmark building up to our modern standards. But, lumpy creaky mattress, missing light bulbs, a TV/no channels programmed, a simple box of tissues all lacking even after a request placed. But, all in all a roof over our heads, a good shower facility, a view of the water & Bressay Island, central location for exploring the shops and walking the wonderful town of Lerwick."

Central Lerwick holiday apartment

Central Lerwick holiday apartment

10/10 Excellent
"We were super happy with the apartment. James and Mandy sent us all the info we needed well in advance, so no issues with checking in. The rooms are great, and it's actually a very spacious apartment! Perfect place to relax for the night. Beds were comfortable and everything you need to make a coffee, tea, or small meal is in the kitchen. On top of that, the location is fabulous! Walking distance to the main streets of Lerwick. We rented a car to explore beyond town. We'd definitely rent again."
