Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Shetland Islands

This is a lovely space in Lerwick. Everything is so handy, you can pop to the Local Arts venue/cinema for coffee just down the road. The corner shop is 1 minute away. Pubs and eateries all within in easy reach. Pet friendly. Such a cool flat as well, wonderful plants everywhere and funky decor. We loved it. We would definitely book again. Saul is an excellent communicator.

Her place is amazing! She answered all my queries and accommodated my unique situation. The place was lovely!

Alison was a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. The property was spacious, clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and pillows made for a restful nights sleep. Fantastic views out to sea and of Mousa. Cunningsburgh is a perfect location for exploring the surrounding area and only a short drive to Lerwick.

Great few days here. Debbie and Dave were great hosts. Wonderful breakfasts and very helpful re places to visit. Lovely peaceful beautiful surroundings. Comfortable beds and good amenities. A wonderful break. Need a car. So many good places to visit in Shetland. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This home is in a very peaceful, beautiful location. If you are looking to unwind this is the place. The home itself is absolutely clutter free and the kitchen has everything you need to enjoy home cooked meals. The Shetland ponies across the road were fun to watch!

A very spacious, discrete, comfortable and well equipped home, optimally placed to explore the full extent of the islands. The nearby CoOp and garage in Brae have all the supplies you need. Fresh mussels and scallops available daily from the shellfish farm across the bay. Amazing wildlife, including otters on the lawn. Nikita is a super host, very supportive with good ideas, such as where to spot Orcas. The nearby Brae hotel does good dinners. Thoroughly recommend staying as long as you can to enjoy a special place, people and wildlife in the British Isles. Thanks Nikita!

Alison and Paul are lovely hosts. Communication was excellent and the welcome pack was very much appreciated. Number 4 is immaculate and very comfortable. Coming home to a cosy home after a day how was just perfect. Number 4 is a short walk to Lerwick which was perfect for us. I would highly recommend a stay at Paul and Alison's if ever visiting Shetland.

Perfect for Wool Week- close to Commercial St and Shetland Museum, very close to bus stop to get out of town. Very convenient to Tesco or the Co-op. Felt like a real Shetlander :)

We loved this spacious appartment. Great for cooking our own meals. Nice shower too. Handy to the town but easy to park the hire car on the street.

We absolutely loved our stay in Jenny's and Billy's place. It was just perfect. And Jenny and Billy were wonderful hosts. The went above and beyond what I have normally experienced with hosts and really enhanced our visit to beautiful Lerwick and Shetland. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend their place.

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.

Angela’s place was exactly as described warm and homely. She was amazing when the washing machine broke down it was replaced the same day and she let us stay the day we checked out which was especially kind given the rain and driving wind. We would be very happy to stay again

We had a great stay in incredibly comfortable and well appointed apartment in Lerwick. Check in was seamless, everything was really clean and tidy, and the beds super comfy. The hosts were really helpful and responsive and also provided us with a very useful visitor's book! 100% recommend.

Fantastic property that matches all of the photos. It’s in a brilliant location, close to Lerwick and very easy to access from the main roads. The property was spotlessly clean and very modern with a lovely decor. Heather & Gordon were lovely hosts and have thought about everything you will need for a relaxing stay. This is an ideal place for a stay in Shetland! 5*! Thanks for having us 😄

This apartment is one of the best Airbnbs we have stayed in. Easy street parking and a very short walk into Lerwick centre. The apartment was spotlessly clean with plenty of cutlery, crockery. We would recommend it to anyone visiting Shetland.

beautiful 3 double bed apartment. Spacious, spotlessly clean with everything you would need contained within. A real home from home. the location was fantastic. Central and everything within walking distance. We hired a car to explore the island and get us to and from the airport. Ample parking on the road outside the flat. Carina, our host, popped in on our arrival to welcome us and was very helpful with her local knowledge on good places to go. Our three day visit was a great break and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Shetland and couldn't have picked a better place to stay. 10 out of 10!

fab place in central Lerwick. easy access to everything. would highly recommend.

Apartment was great - very comfortable, spotless and well appointed. Gary was a great host - very friendly and flexible. Would most definitely stay here again.

A fab and tastefully decorated apartment, perfect for our stay. Centrally located, yet also a good base for exploring the rest of Shetland. Leah was a brilliant host and great at communicating with us about our stay and queries. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!

The loft apartment is well appointed, right in the middle of Lerwick and it has everything that you need and top it all up, beautiful harbour view. There is no better place to stay in Lerwick. Justin was a great host. It was a most delightful surprise to be welcome with delicious Shetland shortbread and sparkling wine. Justin is a very considerate host, excellent communication. I cannot recommend enough. If you a planning a visit to Shetland, there is not better place to stay than the Loft Apartment in Lerwick. A magical place! Justin, thank you so much for being a most wonderful host.

Excellent location (Bressay). Very regular local ferries across to Lerwick. Bressay is stunning. Lindsay & Kim are excellent hosts + live on-site so always available if u have any queries. Flat we stayed in (Pettifirth) is perfect for couple, or two friends who don't mind sharing double-bed. All mod cons, very high-spec, v.good heating, v.good wifi for internet, fully equipped kitchenette inc dishwasher, tea/coffee/milk/condiments & cereal provided, lovely shower-room, toiletries provided, decent-sized wardrobe with plenty of hangers & two deep drawers, nice towels, dining table & two chairs, double-bed, two comfy armchairs, good TV, flat is spacious for 2 people, triple-aspect windows with stunning views. Communal areas also lovely & with the views. Lots of tourist info. Off-street parking. Ground-floor veranda. Outside seating & picnic/dining-table (all with views). Bressay stunning. Remember it is very rural (1 small shop) so you will need car. Flat is about 30 mins walk to ferry. X

Yvonne was such a great host - let us get there early when she realised we were getting the ferry in and even picked us up from the bus stop. We were really greatful for her help and the provisions provided in the appartment. The appartment was cozy and comfy, and we had a great stay. We used public transport and were able to easily get into Lerwick - the buses were on time and the stop is only a 5 minute walk away.

This was such a great place! thing was wonderful in giving suggestions of things to do, restaurants to eat at, and ways to make my trip memorable. Jane was an outstanding host, and had breakfast, and often times lunch or dinner ready throughout the day. Her and her husband were so lovely to talk to and spend time with. They introduced me to friends of theirs, and even invited me out for dinner with them. This was so nice since I was traveling alone. I felt like when I left I had many friends in Lerwick. It was such a special vacation for me!

A huge thanks to Jean and David for such a wonderful warm welcome to Shetland! The flat is so cosy and you have both done an amazing job of creating a home from home, warm cosy and functional space. We absolutely loved our stay and a huge thanks to you both for all the added kindness with helpful tips for the Up Helly Aa, local info and early check in and late check out. We had a brilliant few days and we’re so lucky to find you after a cancellation. The flat is the perfect base for exploring. Super cosy bed, great location, so quiet and heaps of space to put adventure gear and to make ourselves comfortable. We cooked two nights and ate out at No 88 kitchen bar in Lerwick and would highly recommend! Kitchen at the flat was super well set up with all the basics and great range of cooking utensils etc. What a wonderful info to Shetland! Thank you both, and try the haar spa when you can. We had the best time! For anyone thinking of visiting Shetland, do book with Jean and David.
