Lynne and Jim should be pround of their guest house and the service they provide. I enjoyed four nights at the Fort Charlotte in August 2011 and have no regrets at picking this one out more or less randomly from the phone book. My single room was not the largest in the world but more than adequate and had a... More

We really enjoyed out stay in Lerwick and this was due in no small part to the superb hospitality shown by Lynne and Jim at Fort Charlotte Guest House. Sporting a great central location, lovely rooms, and a quality breakfast every morning, we couldn't have asked for anything more. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they were happy... More

This place deserves the excellent reviews it is getting. I have stayed here several times and would agree it is the best B+B I have ever stayed in. Lynn is a superb host. Clean. Excellent breakfast. Comfy beds. Book early and dont stay anywhere else in Lerwick. Beats any Lerwick Hotel hands down for service.

We visited the Shetlands for the Blues Festival in September 2011 and stayed at Fort Charlotte for 5 nights. Lynn and Jim were perfect hosts and could not do enough to make our stay a fantastic experience. Everything we needed to know about getting the best out of the Shetlands we got courtesy of our wonderful hosts, from bus timetables,... More

If you want a B&B which is ideally located, spotlessly clean with friendly knowledgable owners I cannot recommend you stay anywhere else but Jim and Annes. 10/10 for everything guys, loved the Breakfast. It was an absolute pleasure!!!

I'm up in Lerwick for work frequently and travel on my own. I have stayed in almost every guest house/hotel in town and I have to say that The Fort Charlotte Guest House is my personal favourite. It is spotlessly clean, cosy, central, the breakfast is awesome with loads of choices - and with "real" fruit salad (not tinned, as... More

i spent a super week-end at the Fort Charlotte Guest House. I got a very friendly welcome, the room was spotless and nice and warm despite being a snowy week-end. I had one of the best fish suppers that I have ever had in Jim's chip shop across the road. breakfast was superb. The location is ideal. Highly recommended

I had a really great stay here in July 2011. The location was ideal, close to the centre of Lerwick, yet on a quiet back street. Jim and Lynn are very nice people, knowledgeable and eager to help. I travelled alone and really enjotyed my stay. Great breakfast. Highly recommended B & B.
