The house is nice and clean. There were cookies each day, and things to make coffee/tea, but water would have been wonderful. The room is small, but it was fine for 3 nights. It was exceptionally warm while we were there and the host purchased a fan to combat the heat. It was much appreciated. Great stay! Parking situation is limited.

Another excellent stay.

My second recent stay at Eddlewood Guest House was excellent. Very comfortable, clean and welcoming with everything in place for all types of travellers. Very convenient for local travel links to and from the airport, ferry terminal, to town and all across the mainland of Shetland and beyond. Very good communication from a most helpful host. Thanks for all your help!

Exceptional Guest House with a warm welcome.

I enjoyed a wonderful overnight stay at Eddlewood Guest House. Very clean, comfortable, warm and welcoming. Host Peter was exceptionally helpful, courteous and informative. Breakfast was perfect and there was a wonderful choice. Location is very convenient for all amenities and for using as a base for any visit to Lerwick and indeed mainland Shetland and the islands.

Overpriced

This is an old property - we stayed in January and the windows were running with water and the curtains are not great. The heating was barely coping so the owner kindly gave us an additional electric radiator. Breakfast is a low quality continental pre-packed one - such a shame - we chose to get breakfast out. There is a hairdryer in the bedroom but no mirror. It's way over-priced but accommodation in Shetland seems to be at a premium while the wind farm is bring built and some places were taking a holiday, so our choice was limited. Although we were told there was plenty of street parking nearby, this was not our experience.

An excellent B&B outside the center of the Lerwick, but very walkable to anywhere you need to go. The room was clean, the bed was very comfy, and had a large ensuite bathroom with a great shower. The continental breakfast had a good array of choices. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Great Guest House with a room offering plenty of space, private bathroom facilities and a fantastic view over the ocean. Eddlewood Guest House is situated in a quiet area just a 5 minutes walk from the centre of Lerwick and about 1 km. from Tesco.

During my stay only continental breakfast was served, but still there was plenty of food to choose from and enough space to ensure that all guests (5 rooms in total) could have a table of their own. The host was utmost friendly and it was a joy to stay there.

I truly recommend Eddlewood Guest House as THE place to stay during a trip to Lerwick and Shetland in general.

Eddlewood House is in a perfect position to explore Lerwick- you can walk anywhere throughout the city and are very close to the market cross. Callum was super nice and a great cook for the breakfast. Shower pressure was good and the water got pretty hot. The only negative was that the radiator didn't work very well and I was cold much of the time.

Wonderful hosts in Shetland!

We rode out a gale in our comfortable third-floor room where we drank local brew and watched soccer on a very stormy Sunday afternoon.
Breakfasts were lovely.
We especially enjoyed our hosts. They were friendly, funny, and helpful. I would stay there again.

Nicely situated a few mins walk from the centre of Lerwick - but a walk up a steep hill to get back ;-) A short drive from the local Tesco if you prefer that to the local shops in the centre. A nice friendly welcome from Steve when we arrived and he was quite happy with us checking in earlier than stated. No dedicated parking, but we had no problem parking close enough in the roads around the B&B. Our room on the top floor was spacious with a good distant view over the sound. Nice and clean too. A very tasty cooked breakfast, plus fresh fruit and cereals if you prefer.

Comfortable Guesthouse

Historic building on the southern edge of the town centre. Parking is catch-as-catch-can in surrounding streets, but I always found something not too far away. I loved my room here, bright, spacious and comfortable. There seemed to be very few dining options in Lerwick, and none nearby, but at least breakfast was covered.
