“Solheim Guest House sits in a practical Lerwick spot, a swift walk from the town centre and harbour, offering window views that stretch towards the sea. My top-floor room felt recently renovated and comfortably appointed, complemented by a breakfast that was both tasty and thoughtfully prepared, particularly the porridge. It's a clean, well-situated base with genuinely helpful hosts looking after your needs.”
