Stayed here 3 days and loved it. Lovely big room with views out over the coast and beach. Short walk along the sea road to view seals and not too far to get into Lerwick - maybe 1 mile. Great breakfast and lovely host who has just recently taken on the business. Wifi, en-suite, digital TV, tea + coffee in... More

Great location just outside Lerwick - not a walk , a drive - but past a lot of regular visitor seals, past Tescos on the way so shopping is so easy, and the views (360 degrees) are superb. Spacious and well equipped. 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, very good scenic lounge, plenty of parking. Main house (owners) is next door. Of... More

I was blown away by the standard of this B&B. My husband and I spent the first night of our honeymoon in Westhall's Sand's of Sound room. It had views of the sea and local beach from both windows in our beautiful room. The room was very comfortable with a king sized bed and rich furnishings. The house was situated... More

Our stay at Westhall was to be, we thought, the highlight of our stay in the Shetlands, after all at £110 per night it must surely be something quite superb. On our arrival we were greeted by a glum faced young lady who showed us to our room, but with none of the welcoming charm that we received in the... More

...I have never said this before and hope not to do again but this time it was deserved. Its certainly in a lovely location (though there are no directions and phoing hardly helps when there are answer machines or non locals to answer). Its also a lovely building, and smarlty decorated. And the live in housekeeper was charming despite her... More

Difficult to locate on our arrival! It took 15 mins for the housekeeper to answer the door. Not a friendly welcome as the housekeeper is lithuanian and speaks very little English although she tried her best! We had the house to ourselves on the first evening, unable to watch tv or attach to wifi as it needed a password, there... More

We had a large, very well appointed room with beautiful views looking over the water towards Lerwick. The standard of decoration, linen and furnishing was high (towels changed every day) and we were very comfortable. The bathroom was a little cramped but perfectly OK with an excellent shower. The location is very quiet, about half an hour's walk from the... More

After seeing previous reviews from last year, and the accommodation claiming 4 stars we found the quality in general to fall far below the level of service and hospitality that one would expect for the price being charged, The rooms were kept clean and tidy by the housekeeper - not Sarah as mentioned in one of the reviews for this...

Having read the rave reviews of Westhall on Trip Advisor, at the end of October 2010, my wife and I immediately booked for 11th, 12th, and 13th. May 2011. When we arrived, the grass needed cutting (it was cut on the day before we left) and the windows needed cleaning. We were met by a young lady called Sarah. Our... More

Westhall is in a great location with good views of the bay and local walks yet on the edge of town. I was told the ownership has changed fairly recently. The owners no longer live in the property. Day to day cleaning and the breakfasts are done by a live-in housekeeper. The only contact with the owner is by a... More
