"We booked this restaurant 3 nights in advance as when I tried to book for that evening I was told they were fully booked, I had tried to call several times and left several messages.. I had arranged to eat at 6.30 but was called back and asked if we could rearrange for 6 as they had a party of 16 coming in at 6.30. We arrived early, to find the place locked up, although we were greeted by a very friendly man who opened up the bar and gave us drinks.At this point the building was quite uninviting, however a group of travellers arrived soon after and the waiter informed us of the specials etc and the place had a bit more atmosphere. The menu was limited and like every restaurant in Shetland it did not take advantage of the local seafood available. Having said that my meal was lovely,i had smoked haddock in a sauce with home made chips. The service was good, friendly and efficient. The dining room is dated, the decor needs updating and the fake plants are not incongruous, the spider plants on the windowsills look scruffy, but the fresh alstromeira on the table were lovely."

Spend several nights here as we were participating in a wildlife-tour on Shetland.Our room was spacious, the shower functioned properly.The bar is wel stocked , diner has vegetarian options.Breakfast was sometimes a bit chaotic for our group of nine but we always left the table with a smile. Fresh local produce.

My wife and I ate an early supper here after a long day touring sites in South Mainland which ended up at St. Ninian's Isle. We were seated at a table with a view to the west. I had the shepherd's pie, which was made with lamb (as the name implies) rather than beef as in the US, and was made without corn. It was tasty and filling. Be sure to drink the local beers!

Just back from our second visit to Shetlands and once again we enjoyed the hospitality and warmth of Spiggie. Well placed to enjoy all the Islands have to offer with straightforward and comfortable (albeit slightly dated )accommodation. Great food and super scenery Special thanks to Marti and the rest of the crew who put up with us all changing or forgetting our orders.

I stayed here for four nights as part of a Shetlands Wildlife tour group. The hotel owner, Keith, turned out to be a fabulous cook. Breakfasts were extensive and delicious. There was a generous choice on the dinner menu; the food was often locally sourced and always expertly cooked. Good locally brewed beers too. The staff could not have been more friendly. Highly recommended!

We visited Spiggie Hotel to have a bar lunch and found the staff and owner Keith to be very friendly and helpful. The menu had a large variety of local produce which was very well cooked and presented. The portions were very generous for a lunch menu. Lovely lunch!The bar is very small with leather sofas offering a comfortable, warm and friendly atmosphere.We would definitely first Spiggie Hotel again.

This is a lovely spot, overlooking Spiggie Loch, near the coast, Foula in the distance on a good day. The restaurant has the views, but the bar is cosier and you can eat the same food in it. The main courses are beautifully cooked, with some unusual ones like Moroccan stew along with the staples like haddock and chips. Some things do take a while to come, but they'll warn you about that and it's a good place to relax. I'd give it a 5, were it not that, as usual in Shetland, the dessert menu is full of stodgy puddings, including the ubiquitous and sooo outmoded sticky toffee pudding, which every restaurant in Scotland seems to feel obliged to offer. I suppose it might make sense in iwnter but...

Normally you need to book, but we took a chance and called in to eat. The chef decided that we could be fitted it and instead of bringing a menu we had a discussion about the fish that he had available and the sauces that he could create. We ended up with monkfish in a cream and garlic sauce after a starter, in my case, of mackerel. We sat in the bay window looking out at the sun going down over the loch and the bay, with the cliffs of Foula in the far distance. The bar also served an excellent pint of Lerwick Brewery Shetland pale, one of only three bars in the Islands with cask beer that we discovered. It's possible that I have had better food and beer and seen a better view, but I can't b...
