Auld lifeboat station
our 2nd time staying here, everything you could need is provided, it's a quirky wee place in the ideal location as a starting off point for exploring everything Shetland has to offer. we hope to return again next year.

Tranquil town central retreat
Nice accommodation. Close to centre and ferry. Enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Spacious, ground floor flat with level access
We had a wonderful stay at violets property. This a beautiful house decorated to a high standard in a quiet street close to town centre. Violte was very helpful and gave us excellent advice on the ferries . We are hoping to go back

Ground Floor Flat Lerwick
We were visiting Lerwick to attend a wedding and this was a great place to stay. Angela was very helpful and it felt like a home from home. Thanks Angela.

Hillside Park Studio
We received a very warm welcome from Gordon and Heather as we visited their Hillside Studio for the second time. The accomodation looks and feels brand new, it’s attractive and spotless, providing everything we needed for a comfortable eleven day stay in Shetland. The studio is ideally situated for access all over Shetland, a great central base for exploring what the island has to offer. It is peacefully situated on a Hillside community of similar properties, with fantastic views and only five minutes from all the facilities of Lerwick. Notwithstanding the new feel that the studio already exudes, Gordon strives to make improvements which will benefit future guests. It’s a great place to stay and we plan to book again for a future holiday!

Cosy lanes flat on the historic Hillhead
This is my third stay at Tony’s flat. It’s such a great location, with lots of parking on the street nearby and easily walkable to lots of places of interest & restaurants in Lerwick. It’s always quiet too. A perfect base for work or pleasure, with a great kitchen you can easily cook in if wished, a washing machine & comfy sofa!

Sound Lodge a Quiet Getaway with a Stunning View
Sound Lodge is a lovely place to stay and Gina & Neil are excellent hosts. The accommodation was very comfortable with lots of thoughtful touches that made us feel very much at home. Highly recommended!

Basement Flat
A great location for exploring Lerwick on foot, and all over Shetland by car. The flat was easy to live in, with good facilities and lots of kitchen equipment. Robert and Anne were friendly and helpful hosts.

Harbour Haven
Wonderful apartment in the heart of Lerwick. Perfect for exploring. Car park only a few mins walk about, very helpful instructions from Nikita.

Flat
A great wee place right in the town centre. Thank you to our host who communicated quickly and helped us check in and out with ease. Cosy bedrooms and a nice kitchen/living space to come back to after a day out. Convenient, clean and comfy - it had all we need for your short stay.

The Weaving Shed Studio - a Shetland retreat
Beautiful spot right next to the bay. Ideal for self-sufficient trip - right next to the bus stop for the 21 from Lerwick, a great shop and St Magnus Hotel. Lots of lovely walking and swimming round the Ness - I would recommend.

No. 9 - comfortable, stylish & perfectly located
We had a great stay at number 9. The little house was cosy, clean and very well equipped with everything we needed for our short stay. The house is really central with shops and restaurants a few minutes' walk away. It was easy to park and only took a couple of minutes to walk to the house through pretty gardens. A great base for our explorations of the mainland!

The Läft - Lerwick Harbour View Apartment Shetland
Everything about this apartment was great. Easy walk into town, car parking (free) a few yards away. Missy gave clear instructions on how to access the property. The apartment is amazing, the lounge is very comfortable and spacious, the kitchen is well appointed, the bedroom lovely with very comfy bed (great view over the harbour). The stairs from the door up to the living area might prove a little challenging for anyone with impaired mobility, but there is a sturdy rope handrail provided. The Laft is one of the best apartments we have ever stayed in.

Craigielea Apartment
Lovely clean, fresh,modern and comfortable apartment. Parking is great either on the premises or right outside on the quiet road. Had a super stay. Easy to walk into centre of Lerwick. We dined at Fjara and no 88 and both served delicious food, with Fjara being the best! Also recommend The original Noss boat trip Seabirds and Seals. Absolutely superb! Would recommend Craigielea for your Lerwick stay!

Studio apartment with sea view.
Absolutely amazing hosts, so attentive with great recommendations and so helpful. Was able to check in earlier and check out later as hosts were aware of ferry times. Quick response times, the MOST amazing views from accommodation overlooking Scalloway. Could not have ask for a better stay in this beautiful home with fantastic hosts. Always available to ask for suggestions and recommendations, went above and beyond for us during our stay and will definitely be returning. Accommodation was very clean, comfortable and everything you need. Thank you so much again Joanne and John

Coogrind Self Catering
This hidden gem is wonderful, such a stunning and tranquil location, Carole, along with her furbaby Ollie, are amazing, so helpful, accommodating and super friendly. The house was perfect, not only unbelievable scenery to wake up to every day, with basically its own coves/beaches, but immaculate inside too. Everything you could possibly need. Even though in a little village, it’s very handy to everywhere on Shetland. Clean, tidy, lovely bathroom, super comfy bed, lovely sitting room area, and all the mod-cons needed in the kitchen. We had an amazing time, not long enough though, but would highly recommend this lovely place and we would definitely return again, when possible.

Studio Apartment Cullingsbrough
As a solo traveller found Lindsay's place to have everything I needed for a pleasant stay on Bressay. I did not have a car and Lindsay was particularly helpful in collecting me from the ferry. One of the best self-catering places I have stayed at and would highly recommend. Go raibh míle maith agat.

Voortrekker - Quinni Geo Apartment
With friendly, helpful hosts and a cosy, warm atmosphere, this one of the best places we’ve stayed. From the breathtaking views to the comfy and beautifully equipped accommodation with its warm and relaxing spa, Niki and Piet have created a true oasis of tranquility in a hectic world. While Shetland itself was even better than we’d hoped for, our trip was made truly special with our stay at Voortrekker.

Apartment Cradle Holm
Brilliant place to stay with amazing views! The apartment was pristine and had everything we needed, and Kim was lovely and welcoming - even being super accommodating with a late check out to give us time to do the Bressay parkrun. Would highly reccomend!

Voortrekker - Soothpunds Apartment
Voortrekker ranks as one of the top places I've ever stayed. Not only was the apartment very evidently thoughtfully handcrafted (half of the furniture is built-in) it was also very functional with everything well supplied, especially the kitchen. This was only made better by its location, with amazing views and perfectly positioned near the airport and for adventuring in any direction you'd wish. The spa is a fantastic addition. Lastly, Niki and Piet were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable hosts – plus they helped me out (twice!) when I had car trouble. As a woman travelling solo, the apartment struck the perfect balance of privacy/independence and security/safety. I highly recommend staying here!
