The perfect space for relaxing in after a busy day sightseeing or walking. There is also the dining kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge-freezer and dishwasher plus a Nespresso coffee machine for your morning cup.

The washing machine is also in the kitchen, with access to a clothes horse or outdoor clothes line. The final room downstairs is the toilet/shower room. A small traditional staircase provides access to the airy upstairs space with lovely views to the sea. The main bedroom offers the comfort of a king-size bed and ample storage space. The second bedroom has two single beds.

      A charming cottage in a beautiful location. It is well equipped, clean and full of character. The host, Jacqueline, is friendly and helpful. We would certainly like to come back some day.

      Second trip to Shetland, third different place we've stayed and by far the best. Exceedingly beautiful setting, not a far drive from Lerwick, roughly in the north-south middle of Mainland - a great convenience - spacious accomodations with everything you could want, and the hosts - Jacqueline and Bryan - are highly personable and unfailingly responsive. The next time we'll stay there even longer. You seriously can't go wrong by staying here.
