Clean and cosy, informal and friendly with lots of useful local knowledge. Delicious breakfasts. Storage for cycles provided (I would guess a maximum of three or so). A central location in a lovely stone terraced house on the traffic-free main shopping street. We did not have a car so we cannot comment on ease of access for drivers.

Truly superb hospitality from Jim and Lynne, who really do go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that guests have a warm welcome. I really valued Jim's insight into the best places to visit during our stay, and life in the Shetland Islands in general, and the help they extended to us when our bags were delayed... More

Centrally located in Lerwick. Clean and comfortable. Excellent cooked breakfasts. Very reasonable rates. Friendly - just a great place to stay. It was my first trip to Shetland and this made it even more enjoyable. Your room has everything you need.

I found this guest house on Trip Advisor and it more than lived up to the glowing reviews. My room was immaculate, the breakfasts were brilliant, but the really special thing is the couple that own and run this guesthouse. They bend over backwards to ensure you get the most out of your time in Shetland and pay every attention... More

I spend much of my working life in hotels and bed and breakfast establishments all over the world and this was one of the best experiences I have had: well situated, immaculately clean, well appointed, comfortable, very friendly, excellent breakfasts, nothing too much trouble. I would recommend it without reservation.

I spend far more time in hotel rooms than I do my own home so I get to see it all - from super luxury to "OMG don't touch the comforter!" Fort Charlotte Guest House is by far one of the best experiences I've ever had. It was perfect, comfortable, and felt more like home than a hotel. First, it... More

I stayed just one night whilst visiting Lerwick for work, and can thoroughly recommend Fort Charlotte. My double room was spacious, immaculately decorated and presented, and very comfortable. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty, with Lynn and Jim on hand to chat to - a really friendly way to start the day!

I tried to stay here once before, but got bumped by an overbooking and was put up elsewhere. The disgruntlement I felt at the time was exacerbated when I finally got to stay at the Fort Charlotte on a second business trip. It's very good indeed, and the place I was bumped to was not in the same league! The... More

Thank you to Lynn and Jim for making mary and I so welcome! We stayed at this guest house for a week as part of shetland wool week. The accomodation was in a great central location - just off lerwicks main street and within walking distance of pubs/restaurants etc. The rooms were very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the breakfast were...
