"Old property but really well updated. Almost empty for my stay at very start of season so my single room on 2nd floor was quiet. Room clean and comfortable. New ensuite with walk in shower 10/10. Breakfast continental or pay extra for cooked. Parking easy ( you really need a car) and Scalloway very well placed for touring. Hotel closed for food in evening whilst I was there and not much else locally but really enjoyed my stay and would definitely use again."
"I was on the top floor, which meant a lot of stairs, but the reward was a great sea view. Room was quiet, clean and comfortable.
Nigel, the owner, was lovely and the "serve youself anytime" continental style breakfast (with home-made cakes!) was a great idea.
I'd be happy to stay again."
"Well presented flat right by the harbour. Comfotable even in the worst of the Shetland storms. A minor niggle was dealt with very promptly by the hosts. Definitely recommended as a destination"
"Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and my room had a stunning sea view which was a joy every morning!
The bar and restaurant were closed during my stay and signs helpfully signposted to local cafes, bars and restaurants close by which were good recommendations.
The hotel is older and some work was getting done. The rooms are dated though the bed was incredibly comfy and all the amenities worked. Sockets near the bed and a newer heating system/electric radiators would improve the overall comfort.
Staff were flexible with my departure times letting me leave my luggage until I was leaving Lerwick rather than having to carry it around all day which was incredibly helpful "
Voortrekker apartments - Mogill - Hot Tub & Sauna area
10/10 Excellent
"Niki and Piet have created a beautiful haven in their Mogill apartment. Nothing was too much trouble for them and with the added bonus of the sauna and hot tub, this turned into one of the best holidays we have experienced. We were able to relax and sit and watch the animals (including Tom and Jerry the goats) and birds and look out over the cliffs and sea.We were a little concerned when we booked that we were too far down South, but we needn't have worried. With great roads and connections the Voortrekker apartments are a lovely base to discover Shetland. Mogill apartment is beautifully decorated and has everything you need as well as being spotless. The robes, provided for the hot tub and sauna are a lovely touch. This was more than a holiday, this took us down a notch or two in the pace of our life at a time when we really needed it.Thankyou Niki and Piet x"
