Fort Charlotte Guest House

We loved Fort Charlotte Guest House. It was perfectly situated for shopping, dining, and walking the paths along the coast and inland. It's also walkable from the ferry terminal and multiple bus stops. More than all that, we really enjoyed Ryan and Anita, and the rest of their staff. They made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We stayed in room 4, which faces the water so we were able to see Bressay. The breakfast was fantastic - I loved the french toast. We will definitely be staying here any time we are in Shetland.

This guest house was lovely, so clean and tidy and the rooms were lovely. breakfast was delicious in the morning and Ryan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I stayed here on a work trip but would recommend for any trip to Lerwick. the location is great. thanks again for a lovely stay

Ryan Anita Kelly and Linda made us feel part of the family for up Helly Aa week. The guesthouse is beautifully furnished, clean, warm and right in the centre of town. Having said that, even for up Helly Aa week, it's not noisy at all. We had room 2, overlooking the main street. The bed was very comfortable and we both slept well. Plenty of tea and coffee with fresh milk not little plastic cartons which was nice for us tea drinkers 😉. There is a 'mucky towel' for cleaning boots or luggage wheels which was a good idea to keep the carpets clean. Bathroom had everything you need and was modern and spotlessly clean. Breakfast, pre ordered the night before was freshly cooked and served by Kelly, who was always smiling and always had a great story to tell you. She knows the islands well and always gives good advice on a little cafe or somewhere to go. Parking is very easy and close by, with no traffic wardens so no worries about tickets. The owners live off site so the guests have the place to themselves but they are always contactable and respond quickly. Overall we can't fault this guesthouse, it's probably the nicest place we have stayed.

The accommodations at the Guest House were amazing. Beautiful, cozy, clean. Conveniently located. Very nice breakfast! The entire team was warm and welcoming. Ryan and Anita both went above and beyond to ensure we were as comfortable as possible. We stayed at 12 different locations during our trip to Scotland and Fort Charlotte Guest House was by far our favorite. Highly recommend. We hope to return again in the future!

This bed and breakfast was simply outstanding. The room was of a very high standard having been refurbished recently. I would say it is as good as, or better, than any 4 Star hotel. Modern fittings, nice bed and lovely sheets. The digital shower was a new experience and I now know I like my shower to be 39 deg C! The breakfast was exemplary. Ryan and Kellie were excellent hosts and made us feel most welcome.

Outstanding guest house, great communication, fantastic room, perfect breakfast. Really welcoming owners and employees. Really impressed from start to finish. We will be visiting Shetland again and will certainly be looking to stay here again. First class
