Fodor's Expert Review Alder Lodge Guest House
8 Clairmont Pl., Lerwick, Shetland Islands, ZE1 0BR, Scotland
Occupying a bank building dating from the 1830s, this family-run guesthouse sits on a quiet street within easy reach of Lerwick's shops, pubs, and harbor. Spacious but very plain guest rooms have orthopedic beds and well-looked-after bathrooms. The lounge is a cozy place to unwind, and there's a patio—a draw for small garden birds—for when the weather is nice.
PROS
- comfortable beds
- superb location
- charming patio
CONS
- booked solid in the summer months
- dull motel-style exterior
- bedrooms rather basic
