In this little town called Scalloway, way up in the Shetland Islands on top of the North Sea…. There was a chef in a little hotel…. Who made wonderful food! This was a lovely place to stay, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. Everyone was welcoming and really made us feel at home. The bar seems to have a lot of locals, and is a hub of activity in this charming little town. Thank you for making our trip so special! We highly recommend and will be back.
