We came here with family and friends for a meal. The hotel is quite imposing from the front as it is so large. Apparently, the hotel was shipped across the North Sea from Norway, in fact it reminded me of something off the film The Shipping News. It looked as if major renovations were being carried out, indeed parts of... More

The hotel is mid way through its refurbishment. Our room was comfortable & clean. The sitting room again spacious,clean and very comfortable.wifi available, Paul &Andrea were very helpful we through their advice and recommendations saw many sights of Shetland which we would have otherwise missed e.g.on Yell and Unst. Food fantastic, hospitality great. Would recommend again and again. Wow ! More

This hotel was just what we wanted. The drive from Lerwick was easy and the roads clear. It's a great, well run but easygoing place with friendly locals and great food. The steaks were large and well cooked by the chef. Seafood fabulous. We liked the large, newly decorated room. Everything in the hotel was clean and well ordered. I... More

Didn't stay here, but came for Sunday lunch. Started with a really lovely mushroom soup and then the carvery: This is a good concept for an area that is not highly populated and people like plain good home cooking. The service was good to average, the food was well cooked and very tasty and the atmosphere was relaxing. We will... More

Having packed jumpers and jeans were thrilled to have to apply suncream due to fantastic weather! Our stay was topped by the lovely surroundings, accommodation and friendly staff at this establishment. Andrea, the owner, was even able to arrange transport for us from Sumburgh airport! The rooms were very clean and decorated to a high standard. The food was lovely... More

The St Magnus Bay Hotel is without doubt the dirtiest and most dilapidated hotel I have ever seen. With an over powering smell of chip fat oil and empty beer cans interspersed with cigarette butts, it’s actually so bad it’s worth visiting just to see how terrible a place this is. However, at £75 per night per person, avoid at... More

First impression would make most people want to turn round and find somewhere else. Those that have missed one of the most beautiful places on earth. The hotel and it's owners and staff have a mountain to climb in these cash tight times. Their plan is to renovate this grade 2 listed building with their own cash while still trying... More

We had got used to 5* concrete jungles that lacked any character or charm. Then we experienced St Magnus Bay Hotel. At first glance we wondered where we had come to due to renovation work and felt we had gone back in time. There was no escape, no car, no mobile signal. Just what we were looking for. We stayed...

Andrea and Paul gave us a tremendous welcome and explained many things about their historic hotel and the wondeful scenic area to my wife and I. The walks that can be achieved from this hotel are among the best in Scotland. The wildlife is just tremendous...anyone can see a seal, or a Raven, or nesting fulmars and gulls. Last year... More
