This building is old and well kept. It was a great location from which you could adventure round the isles or sit and relax. Andrea and Paul are exceptional hosts and the food was spectacular.

I had a wonderful stay at Butterfly Podika during my trip to Shetland. The pod was comfortable, peaceful and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The terrace and the view were absolutely amazing and became one of the highlights of my trip. Sitting outside with a cup of tea, watching the changing light, the birds and the surrounding landscape was exactly the quiet escape I was looking for. Julia and Jim were incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful throughout my stay. Their hospitality made me feel at home from the moment I arrived. Thank you for creating such a special place. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in Shetland.

Lerwick has a great selection of shops, restaurants and cafes (booking in advance for The Dowery is recommended). Bains beach is a must and the Thule Bar is worth a visit. The people are lovely and very welcoming. It can get busy when the cruise ships are in, but the passengers you meet are from all over and are just as friendly to have a chat with.

Lovey little village with strong associations with WW2 and easy access both to LERWICK and to lots of great places to visit on the island. Rather short of places to eat - especially on Sundays! - Cornerstone Fish and Chip shop excellent but open only at lunchtime on weekdays and till early evening on Friday and Saturday. Lots of great places to drive to, including beaches. Overall Shetland is a fascinating place.

i was quite shocked at how little shops and restaurants were on the island, we did go on the 28th December until 2nd January and the majority of the shops in Lerwick (the capital of Shetlands) were closed until 6th January, there were very limited restaurants open, so cooked at home in the lovely rental property that we had. There were 2 pubs (but not what you would expect as pubs) in Brae and a CO-OP and a leisure centre, thankfully the CO-OP was open all the time, and there was a Chinese take away that was open and a fish and chip shop that was closed. The pace of life is slow, if you don't mind cooking for yourself, its a great place to go, if you like eating out, then its 23 minute drive to Lerwick........but remember Scotland has a ZERO TOLERANCE to drink driving, so NO ALCOHOL and driving what's so ever, so you always need a nominated driver or Taxi, which would be tricky i would expect. Overal a nice chilled out trip, although if the property wasn't as good as it was, you could be counting down the days in the winter months

A lovely base for some bracing walks around the lochs & voes with a excellent choice of buses too taking one to Lerwick & south to Sumburgh or North to the Northern Isles or the wonderful windswept wilderness of Eshaness, home to moonwalking Shetland ponies. You’ll have to ask your cab driver about that!

Great access to Muckle Roe, must see destination; lovely home cooking with farm fresh ingrediends (the lamb is a must); generous size, renovated room with modern bathroom; reliable regular bus service to other places in Shetland for those with backpacks, the isolation from town is a bonus, so relaxing; helpful and friendly service

The hotel is in North Maven, the most northerly and wildest part of the mainland of Shetland but, as the island is relatively small, easy to reach from either Lerwick or Sumburgh Airport. Main roads in Shetland are of a high standard and the single track roads to more remote parts add to the excitement! Impressive sights include Mavis Grind, where, it is said, a stone can be thrown from the North Sea to the Atlantic. The rugged cliffs of Eshaness and must be wonderful in wild weather and do'nt miss the chance ot visit North Roe and Sand Voe

Lerwick is the capital of the North.

Lerwick is the capital of the North. Small and nice old town. Starting point for a number of excursions. Bus connections to most points of interest (needing good calculation, the feeders often run only once or twice a day). Lack of good restaurants (or lack of restaurants in general...). Good art cinema and interesting museum.

Scalloway is a great wee place. Stunning views and excellent coffee shops. Had breakfast in cafe - so helpful and lush food. The shop, chemist, and cafe, views over the harbour and people friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

Twin room, bed comfortable pillows fabulous, warm, very very basic. Poor pressure on hot water, very small towels absolutely no frills at all. Breakfast options many if you like fried English breakfast, we didn't and we're told we couldn't have poached egg nor scrambled. Had the fried English options only once as tasteless, could do much better here. Suggest: providing free toiletries, upgrading to Andrex or Cushelle, providing large bath towels, improving hanger situation very old fashioned, and buying better ingredients and cooking less rather than piling on the fry up so a better start to the day, we didn't bother with breakfast after the first one. Evening meals weren't impressive either, though last night better than had been. Fish and chips across the road is a must. Missing lots of opportunities to upgrade.

A nice clean hotel situated on the waterside. Very good staff who operated well under covid restrictions. The food was good and we enjoyed all our meals. Not gourmet food but good. Excellent selection of whiskies to try and a well balanced wine list.
