This old RAF base (though the radar station it served reopened in 2018) is not the most atmospheric lodging, though the tired barracks-style rooms offer great value for singles, and there's something nice about watching the weather through the skylight-style windows. The restaurant dishes out surprisingly decent food, and there’s a cafe, a bar – Britain’s northernmost, by our reckoning – and a friendly, helpful atmosphere.
Wi-fi is only in public areas. Part of the same complex, self-catering houses (£788 per week) are good for families and are available year-round.
