Everything went very smoothly, a very pleasant welcome, and we'd be keen to return.
United Kingdom1st class facilities and excellent weeks stay, we shall be back.
United KingdomExceptionally clean and comfortable with good facilities when spending a few nights away from home.
United KingdomComfortable, cosy, clean and well equipped. Well thought out and catered for disability.
United KingdomCycling holiday on my own. The property was exceptionally comfortable and ideal for me.
United KingdomWe had a very comfortable week. Spotless and with attention to detail. We we're made very welcome on our arrival and given local information to help with our stay. Would highly recommend👌
United KingdomSelf catering, all equipment for cooking that was required, there was a pint of milk in the fridge, a couple of bottles of local beer and some biscuits as a welcome pack, which were all very much appreciated. There is a dishwasher and washing machine, so the accommodation would be good for a longer stay. Our host was very Covid 19 aware and everything was spotless - everything we used was either quarantined or sterilised after we left. Steve contacted us whilst we were still on the ferry and met us at the house immediately after we disembarked, before 0800, allowing us to unload the car and start sightseeing before 0900. We will definitely be back to Shetland and would hope to stay at Decca.
United KingdomMuch appreciated personal welcome and hospitality. Apartment was excellent. Perfect for what we needed.
United KingdomVery clean and comfortable . Had my parents visit Shetland with us and was like home from home for them . Made to feel very welcome . Would definitely recommend anyone to book this property .
United KingdomThe location was perfect, the house was very clean and had everything you needed!

Host Information
The Decca was Shetlands Radio Navigational Signal Station. Which we purchased in 2002 and have over the space of 8 years converted into 8 delightful houses and apartments, suitable for visitors to Shetland, be it for work, rest or play! It is enclosed by a large garden area, with cream wooden fencing and has private parking. Each apartment has its own private entrance, and its own facilities.
The Decca is set on the edge of town. It is 5 minutes drive into the heart of the town. From October - March, a car is recommended as there is no pavement or street lighting for the first 5 minutes walk, thereafter it is 15 mins to the nearest hotel, 20 minutes to the local supermarket, shops and restaurants.
