When you visit the Shetland Islands, it is a good idea to spend at least a couple of days up in the Northern Islands of Unst and Yell. These are beautiful and very different from the lower islands, such as around Lerwick. We had a wonderful experience on Yell and this is a quiet and safe place to spend some time. The view from the house are beautiful and peaceful. What a great opportunity to rest and be at peace! The house is in great condition and clean. There is a large common room downstairs to use in addition to your upstairs bedroom. There is no lift so you will have a few stairs. The house is divided in a way so there is great privacy between the guests and the family and we always felt comfortable while at the home. The family that own the home are super helpful and friendly and the breakfast we had was a delicious full Scottish breakfast. I think this trip to Yell was an important part of our overall Shetland adventure and worth a couple of nights if possible. The roads on Yell and much of Shetland are single track, but are in good condition, and as long as you are not in a hurry you will enjoy the drive.
