St Magnus Bay Hotel

Great location and friendly owner. Hotel is the only one in the area and although very clean - is beginning to look a bit tired. Good food - random service lol! Good flexibility with antisocial breakfast times. Basic room with an excellent shower. Hotel would benefit from a drying room.

Lovely family hotel in a great location. We were in the recently renovated annex with a view of the bay and it was fabulous. Super clean and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were great. The nicest place we stayed in our week in Shetland. Staff were friendly and welcoming too.

Beautiful hotel. Cozy and comfy. And the owners of the hotel are very kind & caring. I loved my stay there. Will come back again to this hotel

Had a fantastic stay in this really friendly family run hotel, it is extremely comfortable, nothing was too much trouble, food is delicious and generous portions. Great views of the bay. Would highly recommend

The Magnus Hotel is an interesting old Victorian hotel! Full of character and inviting vib. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Very clean and they are in the process of doing some renovations. We only stayed 1 night but it was quite comfy.

We were celebrating our grandparents Diamond Wedding and decided we’d go to Hillswick and the whole family would stay overnight. The staff were absolutely brilliant, so pleasant, very hardworking and attentive. The menu they’d put together for us was amazing and the food we received was exceptional! The way the food was presented was fantastic, with dishes of vegetables, mash and chips on the table for us to help ourselves to, brilliant idea! The wonderful staff had set a beautiful table with rose napkins and quality streets scattered, which was so thoughtful. We had additional touches to add and it all came together just perfectly. The staff that served us during our meal were absolutely brilliant, they were very busy with other tables, but did a brilliant job juggling alot of work, well done to them, they did such a good job! Both front of house/bar/restaurant staff were some of the nicest people I’ve ever seen, they were all absolutely excellent! The rooms were fantastic and the room our grandparents had was the Delux Suite and it did not disappoint, with additional touches of wine and chocolates! I’ve never seen a room like it, simply amazing! From the massive TV, to the beautiful fireplace, the most beautiful bathroom and a huge living room to spend with the family…outstanding room! We have had an absolutely brilliant weekend and cannot thank the wonderful staff enough. Each one of them are an asset to the St Magnus Bay Hotel! We will definately be back again!

A great hotel in Hillswick overlooking Ura Firth in the wonderful Shetland Islands. Full of bygone-days charm, with very friendly, ever helpful staff. Room was clean and had everything needed. Food was excellent (although slightly pricey). If you want an eat-all-you-can cooked breakfast to kick-start your day then this is the place to get it. Next stop Sunday carvery! Would definitely stay here again.

Really nice friendly hotel . They are doing some renovation work at the moment but you wouldn't know . My room was large with a view across the bay . Modern bathroom very clean and comfortable. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. You were treated like a friend the atmosphere was lovely everyone wanting to share the local knowledge. The food was also excellent and pleanty of it after a long day exploring Shetland

The original part of the hotel appear a little dingy but it is over 100 years old. We were in the annex which was much brighter and had a lovely sea view. The en suite was quite tiny but featured new facilities. Unfortunately there wer no shelves within the shower enclosure for placing soap or hair shampoo. The meals were good quality but expensive.
