      We had an amazing time at the Old Moorens, Jacqueline was the perfect host and did everything to make us feel welcome and at home. The accommodation is a delight, in a perfect location and has everything you could need for a great holiday. Thanks so much! We can’t recommend the Old Moorens highly enough 🙂

      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 !

      Moorhens is a lovely refurbished old traditional cottage in a beautiful setting. it was easy for us to visit the Shetland Film Festival at Lerwick and we did several walks in the vicinity. We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Shetland.
