very warm and well equipped cottage. delightful views and walk down to the shore. very peaceful yet convenient to explore the mainland. local shops nearby and fuel. Lerwick easy to drive to so this place isn't too remote yet feels it when you close the door. highly recommended.and we loved the 'puffin poo' choc !
