“Busta house is a lovely building, historic, quirky and well presented. We’d had a strange introduction to Shetland Hotels with our previous hotel in Lerwick but Busta House more than made up for it. This was achieved by the constant good humour, charm and efficiency of all the staff we met. They even managed to fulfil a busy Friday night service with aplomb. Our dog was made welcome and enjoyed snoofling about the garden and snoozing in the lovely bedroom.”

“The staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming, they go out of their way to make sure everything is to customer satisfaction. This hotel is a real gem and in a fabulous location with a lovely garden. The food is scrummy, waiters & waitresses very attentive. We loved relaxing in the Long Room after dinner. If we’re ever in Shetland again we’ll definitely stay again!”

“One has to bear in mind the covid restrictions placed on the property and these I am sure impacted on the facilities at the property. The staff did really well taking into account the circumstances they had to operate in. The food was good and was what I was expecting, not gourmet but absolutely fine.”

“Everything. Fascinating history, great location, stunning older property, sympathetic and modern upgrades to rooms etc. staff lovely, attentive if needed, friendly, welcoming and provide local knowledge if asked. Food served is scrumptious. Both in bar, restaurant and within board basis. I would highly recommend this property. 😊”

“This is a a lovely old house dating from the 16th century originally, with extensions into the 18th century. It is showing its age but in a very nice way. The look inside is very historical with some stone doorways and a vintage feel. Large fireplace, leather armchairs and 18th century family portraits of the original owners, the Giffords, completes the feel of earlier times. The staff were very helpful and warm. Special thanks to Bradley, Alan, Aisla and Lee. Recommend the Glenfiddich and Talisker Skye whisky for our last evening. Very good central west location for walks and access to Ronas Hill, Fethaland, Hillswick Ness, Yell and Unst islands. Room overlooked Busta Voe and was spacious and vintage. Lovely stay. Thanks.”

“Really great hotel and the staff were lovely. Food was also really nice, both breakfast and dinners”
