Bed & breakfasts in Shetland Islands

What a very nice experience for our first visit to Shetland! Very engaging couple, wonderful accommodations with a view of historical Lewrick, great homemade breakfast and location very convenient near waterfront and best places to visit. To top it off, we loved their Sheltie sheepdog to remind us of ours back home. We would love to come back. Thanks Jeff and Anona for a memorable stay!

This is the second time I stayed at the Aurora Guest House hosted by Andrea. As usual, my room was lovely with a most comfortable bed. Besides the fine accommodations, Andrea is an outstanding host. Welcoming, thoughtful, delightful with gracious hospitality. An added bonus is Bo, Andrea's adorable well mannered pup. Most definitely, the best dog in Lerwick. Thank you, Andrea for a fine visit.

I cannot say enough words to describe the hosts' generosity of spirit, local recommendations and wonderful conversations. I stayed for Up Helly Aa, and was welcomed into Anna's place as though I was literally one of the family. She went above and beyond to offer to secure tickets to a hall for the evening, and even included me in her family's festivities. Friendly conversations with the humans, and beautiful cuddles with the dog. The location is beautiful, the place itself is warm and cosy, and the hosts are amazing. Cannot recommend more highly for anyone's time on Shetland.

If you want to be pampered on Shetland, Ervhouse bnb is the place. Comfortable well-appointed spacious bedrooms complete with fresh flowers and chocolates, immaculate bathrooms, Edwardian-style guest sitting room with wood fire and superb home cooking. Hosts Julie and Gordon are friendly and helpful but never intrusive. A delightful place to stay and good value.

We really enjoyed our stay in Martin’s beautiful historic home! He provided delicious breakfasts and dinner for us, and we really enjoyed our tour of Unst with him. Martin gave us very helpful suggestions and shared a map of the island so that we could tour about and hike on our own as well. He is very knowledgeable about Shetland and Scotland. I highly recommend a visit to this wild and beautiful island and staying at Belmont House. It’s an experience we will never forget!

I had a lovely stay at Amanda and Peter’s with my dad. We were visiting Shetland for work, and it was so lovely to have such a warm, welcoming home to come back to after work! It felt like coming home at the end of the day, with thoughtful touches From Amanda like turning on the heaters in our rooms before we came home. Breakfasts were delicious (would definitely recommend the cooked breakfasts, especially the sassermeat!) the snug area is ideal for evening relaxing or preparing a light dinner, which we did one evening. Bedrooms were cosy, and beds comfy and can’t forget to mention the beautiful view from the bedroom window! The location is great - we were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. Thank you Amanda and Peter for a great stay!

Nigals place is very welcoming, home from home, laid back, friendly and essy to access to where you want to go to see around Shetland. Thank you Nigal we had a brillant time, Linda and Brian xx

Had an amazing stay at Belmond House. The place was stunning, better than the actual pictures and Martin was by far one of the best hosts we ever had. Will recommend this place and would gladly come back. A unique experience, made special by a warm, friendly and great host.

I had a lovely stay at Amanda’s and would highly recommend. The location is brilliant with beautiful views and a short drive to Lerwick and stunning beaches. Amanda goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure you enjoy your stay.

We had a great two days at Belmont with Martin as a host. It felt more like visiting a friend than checking in at a hotel. The Belmont is converted to something like a small private hotel that takes only two or sometimes three parties. The first night he cooked dinner just for us. The second day we took the ofer for a guided tour of Unst after a great cooked breakfast. The evening again dinner with the other couple. Martin cooked a local specialty. The Belmont is a 250 years old house beautifully renovated. All the rooms had soul, with plenty of space. Do not expect a regular shower though. Here the only option was bathtubs. There are also nothing nearby, but if you want to go somewhere in the evenings (there is one pub on the island), you may ask Martin if he can drive you. We loved Belmont, Martin and Unst and would love to visit again.
