Very comfortable and very well located; we felt warmly welcomed by the owner and his wife during our 3 nights there, they were humourous and kind. Dinner in the restaurant was filling, tasty and not too expensive. The most northern bar in the UK is attached to the hotel (Springers Bar) and if you feel like copious amounts of pizza... More

We stayed 2 nights here. From the moment we first contacted them by phone on the way there to say that we'd be late as a result of missing a ferry, the owner and his wife were outstandingly friendly and helpful. We arrived about an hour after the last serving of dinner, but were nevertheless given a full and delicious... More

Probably the most challenging review ever: Those of us old enough to remember "Crossroads motel" will see some parallels here...very hard to put your finger on this strange layout in a lovely location. On arrival the aroma of stale chip fat permeated the entranceway - we were not hopeful - this dissipated a bit later... Having booked a "premier room"... More

We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Springfield Hotel, the service was faultless and the food was lovely. I have to eat gluten and dairy free, although the choice was limited (I wonder if i'd phoned ahead if there would have been more choice?) what I did have to eat was fantastic. The rest of the family thoroughly enjoyed their... More

We stayed at the Baltasound Hotel, Unst, for one night (24th/25th July 2011). My party consisted of two adults and two children. It was not my original intention to journey so far north but we had problems obtaining accommodation in the Lerwick area on account of the Tall Ships visiting Shetland. I took a notion to view Muckle Flugga lighthouse... More

What a fantastic stay at this place. Friendly staff, good rooms and good food. Beautiful views from the restaurant, wish we'd booked for longer than 8 days. There's a pub attached to the hotel where we spent several enjoyable evenings talking to both locals and visitors to the island. It was ideally situated for us in the Northern part of... More

Neither Orkney nor Shetland was really on our schedule but the weather was kind so we flew over and landed at Unst. It had always been my wish to spend the shortest night on the most northerly island and I was only one day late! We had a great welcome from Steve and everyone at the hotel. OK, so we... More

Stayed for 2 nights and what a great stay it was. The hotel is perfectly situated in Unst and has everything that you need in terms of amenities. The staff are fabulous and very helpful. The rooms have been redecorated and are in pretty good shape though the rooms are not in the main building but in the annex. The... More

...as a base for visiting this wonderful island. Its no frills and a tiny bit basic and rough at the edges but it's fair value for the location. Excellent level of service from the most amiable staff imaginable and some really good food in the evening. Just remember where you are and enjoy! More
