"What a fantastic location and gorgeous water view. The whole experience was top notch. The house is beautifully decorated and everything you need is there when you arrive. The house is right in downtown Lerwick and walkable to everything (shopping and restaurants and the ferry). We rented a car and toured the mainland. Would absolutely recommend. There were only two of us, but the house easily accommodates 10 people. So fun to be right next to where DI Perez’s house is on the tv series Shetland."

Charming Newly Renovated 1 Bedroom Chalet | Stunning Sea Views

10/10 Excellent

"The location is wonderful, not far from Lerwick in a very quiet spot. Ali gave us very clear instructions and photos of what to look out for as we turned off for South Whiteness and we found it ok. The chalet itself has all the amenities you could wish for. A bathroom with a shower over a bath gives you a choice after a long walk. The kitchen had a kettle, coffee machine, toaster, oven/grill & hob and a fridge freezer - evrything you could need. There was also a dishwasher and a washer/dryer. It was very clean and comfortable."

Central Lerwick holiday apartment

10/10 Excellent

"We were super happy with the apartment. James and Mandy sent us all the info we needed well in advance, so no issues with checking in. The rooms are great, and it's actually a very spacious apartment! Perfect place to relax for the night. Beds were comfortable and everything you need to make a coffee, tea, or small meal is in the kitchen. On top of that, the location is fabulous! Walking distance to the main streets of Lerwick. We rented a car to explore beyond town. We'd definitely rent again."
