I should have written this review a long time ago - but have been busy! Sandra was very accommodating. We travelled last August/September with our son who was 7. Sandra arranged an extra bed for him, with bedding at no extra cost. We were delighted to have a small fridge in our large room (with very high ceilings) and a... More

Helpful emails before arrival. Sandra picked me up at the bus stop, which made my arrival easier. After a welcoming cup of tea, I was given a choice of two rooms. Sandra goes out of her way to cater to her guests’ needs and requests. Sandra maintains her equanimity even when disaster strikes (burst pipe taking one room out of... More

We stayed when the Tall Ships Race was visiting Lerwick. The weather was awful-very cold and windy(July) but we received a very warm welcome from Sandra. Our room was warm and cosy with excellent extras- eg fridge,milk and juice,plates,cutlery. The house is well located and convenient for walking down into the main thoroughfare. We had the use of a shared... More

We stayed three nights at Woosung and were made very much at home. Sandra was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean and well supplied with beautiful bed linen tea and coffe making facilities with real milk in the mini fridge. There were also biscuits and chocolates left in the room. The kettle was always... More

After reviewing the different accommodation available in Lerwick we chose the Woosung based on the rave reviews. The quaint name instantly grabbed our attention. What a pure stroke of luck. Built as a merchant's house in the 19th century, Woosung modestly claims to be a B and B, not a guest house. That said you'll have a welcome saving in... More

We found this B & B using trip advisor. We priced various hotels in Lerwick and most were expensive so decided to go for a B & B. This place got excellent reviews so decided to give it a go. We were very pleased with the service, facilities and the owner, Sandra was extremely helpful and friendly. We had a... More

Stayed here and got one of the twin rooms with shared shower room/ toilet. Room was very clean well presented, and had digi TV, fridge, plates and cutlery, and small sink. B&B is very central but on a quiet street. Breakfast was perfect, big portions and the host Sandra is lovely and very helpful. Would highly recommend this B&B.

Sandra, the owner, is a delight! She provided a warm welcome, delicious, eat-til-you're-stuffed full Scottish breakfast, and a wonderfully cozy, clean room. The room included a small fridge, bathrobe, hair dryer, books to read, TV, and sweets. Free WiFi was also available. Sandra booked my tours in Shetland, and even drove me into town to go to the post office... More

I booked this B&B purely because of all the other positive comments made by Tripadvisor contributors. They were certainly right. Sandra is so friendly and accommodating and the little extra touches such as bath robes, fridge, plates and cutllery (should you wish to bring some food back with you), chocolate biscuits. sweets... made me feel as I were really staying...
