We arrived later in the evening and were instantly welcomed by Karen (and their gorgeous wee spaniel!). Everything we needed was in the room - it was a lovely spacious twin, with a TV, fridge, tea and coffee and WiFi (brilliant!). Karen made some great suggestions of where we could eat (even though we were late) and directed us to... More

Stayed two nights at Alder Lodge in a great twin room. Very comfortable with everything I needed - WIFI was perfect. Good nights sleep and a good breakfast on offer in the morning. Clearly a popular place as it was a pretty full breakfast room even mid-week. I was even advised that the Northern Lights were due to appear that... More

I visit the Shetland three-four times per year for work purposes. Having stayed in the majority of Hotels the Island has to offer, I spoke to a local colleague suggesting that I had not found an accommodation which I found particularly welcoming/ clean etc. (Astonishing considering the price of each hotel) The Alder Lodge Guest House was advised to myself...

This is my second visit in 6 months. This is an excellant B&B and everything in previous views is correct. The rooms are fabulous and all amenities are there including a fridge. Keith and Karen are great people and nothing is too much for them. Will be back on future visits.

I stayed here in December 2011 whilst in Shetland for work for 5 days! Karen and Keith are so welcoming and will do anything they can to make your stay amazing! My room was upstairs bed was comfy, and room was spacious! The food was amazing and it was really good that they offered DVDs and books to read! We... More

Alder Lodge is an friendly, extremely clean and modern guest house in the heart of Lerwick. I stayed in December for one week for work and could not fault the service that I received! Karen and Keith were excellent hosts that were accommodating to our needs and helpful when our ferries were cancelled due to the wind! Everything we asked... More

The Alder Lodge is a wonderful property, managed by really warm and hospitable hosts. I stayed there for three nights in mid-November, and enjoyed the experience. The rooms appear to have been recently refurbished, so they are well-appointed and clean, with flat screen tv/dvd and well-stocked tea/coffee making supplies. The only criticism I'd make is that the window of the... More

......these are really nice people. I had planned a break for the summer of 2011 but woke up with exploding bowels. Northlink Ferries and Karen deserve a medal because they gave me a refund which they didn't need to. The Shetland Folk Festival and the airline didn't want to know. It's this sort of kindness that generates business. So use... More

Have used Alder Lodge several occassions before and after Karen and Keith took over the management. Each trip is for a week at a time so that I and my collegues can spend the whole week working all over the Islands. At the end of each day we head 'home' to Alder Lodge and spend a few hours writing up... More
