Wonderful hospitality. Spotlessly clean. Fabulous breakfast (12+ cereals) even for vegetarians. Wonderful location. If you visit bring some cherries, they will be well received. I hope to return to Shetland some day and will definitely be knocking on this door when I do.

This is a very nice place to stay, the location is great, very nice views from the large windows and the owner is quite a character. She is very friendly and welcoming and cooks a great breakfast! Would always come again.

We had a lovely stay here. The hospitality was excellent. Our room was warm and very comfortable, with beautiful views and we had an en suite with a great power shower. The cooked breakfast which was delicious as well as being very generous! This b and b is situated in a stunning part of Shetland, well worth the visit!

Wonderful views from a nice and clean room. Extremely comfortable beds! Good breakfast. Marcia is a very sweet host and made us feel at home straight away! Difficult to get in as it is a very popular place to stay, so book well in advance. Will certainly try to come back! Alexandra & Susann

Positives : - lovely locations. Great views out the window - friendly Scottish owner. True Scottish b and b experience, including large breakfasts - wifi Negatives : - room perhaps a bit dated. Lots of mirrors.

This is a super B&B. Marcia was most welcoming and our bedroom gave us the best views of Shetland that we had from every place we stayed. The room was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities one would want and expect. The electrically adjustable bed was a bit of a surprise but we had great fun playing with it... More

A lovely friendly B&B, Marcia made us really welcome and could tell us all about the local area, it was a great start to our holiday in Shetland. Make sure you are hungry at breakfast time as the breakfasts are enormous and very, very good - we had no need for lunch! Good rooms with very comfortable beds.

We had a very enjoyable stay with Marcia at Almara and would love to return but its a long way from home. Great breakfast looking over the view of St Magnus Bay. It was only a short distance to drive over to the impressive Eshaness Cliffs on the west coast. We were interested to talk to Marcia about Shetlanders and... More

We knew we were going to enjoy our stay here from the friendly and helpful correspondence when we booked. We were a bit unlucky with the weather for our 2 night stay, but the warmth of our welcome more than compensated! Marcia is an excellent hostess. The room was quiet and spotless and she had thought of everything to make... More

I will never forget the view from the dining room. Neither I'll forget Marcia gentle, warm ad welcoming smile. Needless to say that I am not in the position to forget the overfilling breakfasts that allowed me to walk for several hours and miles. What else... clean, tidy, quite, strategic position if you have a car to move around, but... More
