Busta House Hotel

Historic building in restful surroundings. Large comfortable rooms with further social areas to use. Lots of stairs but staff on hand to help with luggage when required. Extensive whiskey list and interesting books to read. Delicious cooked breakfasts. The staff were extremely thoughtful and friendly.

I’d say this hotel is one of the best places to stay in Shetland. Superior service and quality, hot breakfasts. It is also one of the best places for dinner in Shetland. Good central location, if you have a car. It is also a historic, old building so not without its quirks (which I loved). Check their history on their website.

All the charm of this historic building, its beautiful gardens, the stunning setting with the view across the firth - count for nothing against the value of the friendly and efficient staff. The people of this place really make it what it is: a welcoming, comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The food is wholesome and delicious, served well and without fuss. You must try the scones!

The service was really outstanding, food was great too but the staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful, the food was also fantastic, if l ever go back to shetland, this is the only place i will stay, i expressed a wish for a devonshire tea, and next minute there it was.

If you're staying in Shetland, you should try to spend at least one night here. For starters, the house itself is magnificent. Inside, there's an 'old world' charm which feels a little like stepping back in time. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated, with a big bed and a modern bathroom (although the shower was not great!). The staff are lovely and friendly, the Long Room where you can sit with drinks from the bar is comfortable and welcoming, and the food (and service) in the restaurant is fantastic. We stayed in six different places during our 10 days in Shetland, and this was by far our favourite.

Stay in the Shetlands. This Hotel offered excellent service, the room was perfect and we enjoyed our stay. We ate in the dining room for breakfast and dinner and both meals were of a high standard. We would definitely recommend to others to stay here if they came to the Shetlands and we would stay here again.
