I had reservations about my stay since this seemed like a very remote location in Shetland and I didn't know much about it. We rented a car and it was easy to navigate via GPS to Brea, which seemed like a nice little town with supermarkets and some restaurants available (I thought there would be nothing around for miles). It's easy to get to the house and it has a lovely view to the water. The staff was friendly, the house is cozy and warm and even though is a historic venue, the rooms were well kept, clean and the bathrooms were fully refurbished. The food is good, they offer a fully loaded Scottish breakfast (if that is something you fancy) and a variety of meals for lunch and dinner, preferably book in advance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and if I'm ever back in Shetland, I'd come back.

Helpful and friendly staff. Particularly Stephanie who was lovely. The food in the restaurant was superb. The location if you want to get to the northern islands is excellent.

Both my parents are Scottish, so I'm very familiar with the language. Chatted to staff upon arrival, then ate dinner on the evening and again no language barrier, but in the morning I had to ask the waitress twice to repeat what she said but she was mumbling, so I said in an apologetic way 'I am sorry I cant understand you', the other waitress came over and firmly repeated what she said to us (same waitress so nice the night before but I get she was being protective towards her friend). My husband and I asked for breakfast minus the meat products but asked for double eggs instead and not only did I hear one waitress say "how rude" as they walk to kitchen but it took them a good half an hour to bring our breakfast out. The people who came after us that were served by same waitress had to ask her twice to repeat herself and there full breakfast arrived within 10 minutes of sitting down. Customer is not always right but I know I was not rude to her so we did not deserve the quality of service we received

Evening meal tasted fab and at a reasonable price The view from out bedroom was beautiful, bedding clean, as was the bathroom The hotel has a old fashion style but actually that's what we wanted

The rooms won't necessarily have speedy wifi depending on which one you get. But that's not necessarily a bad thing if you are trying to disconnect. The Long Room (a common area) has plenty fast wifi.

This was my second stay here. Loved it the first time, loved it the second time. The food is exceptionally good, the staff is excellent, and the whole place feels warm and inviting. It was close to Esha Ness, and it also had trees and beautiful grounds.

Outside a little run down but this is a work in progress it did not detract from the comfort

Nothing not to like

Lovely room. Very good food staff very helpful

Stayed in September 2023

Beds comfortable but pillows thin, hard and flat, badly need replacing. Incredibly cramped bathroom in room Papa Stour. Be aware that with no lift there are some 30 stairs between some rooms and the restaurant. Also around 20 steep stone steps down from car park to reception. Though the young man on reception did offer to carry my case for me.

Quirky old house. Staff friendly and helpful. Food very good at dinner and breakfast. Good views.

The bed was a bit hard, and we found that where the toilet paper roll was located was a bit difficult also bit squeezy in the toilet area

The staff and atmosphere were amazing in the general areas , breakfast and evening meal were great

Rooms quite small with tiny windows so can feel a bit pokey

Beautiful hotel with lovely meals and friendly staff

Stayed in September 2023

Lots of stairs up to our room which was hard with a bad knee.

I love the old home. Comfortable common rooms. Lovely lounge for a drink before dinner. Room was good. Bathroom tiny and a hard bath to get in and out. Good location for exploring. I would have loved another night. Great dinner and breakfast.

Beautiful old building, full of charm with attentive and pleasant staff and great food.

Our rooms turned towards the yard, and one could hear the fans from the kitchen in the morning, since we slept for open windows.

Very good freshly cooked breakfast with a lot to choose from. Helpful and kind staff. Diner also excellent and the wine list is long. Cosy lounge to sit, where you can enjoy a drink before dinner, and the staff will take your order and pick you up shortly before the food is ready. Relaxed atmosphere. I believe the rooms may be a little larger than announced (it said 8sqm)

The room was hot (yes we had excellent weather!) and although the windows were easy to open from our two rooms we over looked a courtyard were the kitchen staff took their breaks… this meant for us quite a lot of noise with the windows open.

The property had great character and the bedroom/bedrooms were well refurbished and clean with good facilities. The staff were very attentive and friendly which made for a great experience and the location of course was fab!

Lugging large bags up stairs and around corridors but that was a configuration of the hotel.

The lounge room with the whisky cabinet - a visual feast. The whole place was geared to ensure a really pleasant stay. The staff were very obliging and went out of their way to assist us. Food and drinks were first rate.
