Summary: First I would like to say Hotels. Com should not have this place on their website! There were NO staff, we were met by a very nice chap who was a friend of the owner ( his words) the owner was not in Shetland. I think we were the only people staying there, the central heating was not on or not working, we had a small electric heater in the room. The electric towel rail in the bathroom did not work. The bed was very uncomfortable, I could feel the bed springs in the mattress. Breakfast was help yourself, we did get it all explained to us by the chap we met for 15 mins on the 1st day. We did not see or hear anyone during our stay.

Summary: A cozy and comfortable B&B within walking distance of much of Lerwick. We had a fun and friendly host but we never saw him after check-in. Our door lock was broken or the key was faulty, only working with effort, until we were locked out on our last day after having breakfast in the very nice dining room. Calls to our host and an alternate number went unanswered, but we did finally get into our room after 20 minutes of trying and were able to check out. Our host did finally get back to us while we were on the road to our next destination. Other than the lock though, Varis House is a fine accommodation.

Summary: Liked the position in relation to the town and that there was parking.
However for the money it was a disappointment.
Everything about the place was tired and worn. Seriously needs an upgrade. Beds and bedding old and lumpy. Decor dusty and from the ‘80 s.
Also we were refused a late checkout and when we left at the required time, there was no one to check us out!
Not an enjoyable stay.
