Busta House Hotel, hotel in Busta

Overlooking the shore of Busta Voe, on mainland Shetland, Busta House is a lovely old building with en suite bedrooms, large garden and superb local food.

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.

The Brae Hotel, hotel in Busta

Located in Brae, The Brae Hotel offers a bar. The hotel also provides free WiFi and free private parking. At the hotel you'll find a restaurant serving Local cuisine.

As far as my wife and d I are concerned this hotel deserves an exceptional rating solely because of the efforts of Scott and Curtis who run the kitchen, restaurant and bar for sure at breakfast and dinner and I assume lunch although we never ate lunch at the hotel. We stayed 4 nights and these two gentleman made us feel respected , welcome and well cared for. They are the heart of the hotel’s customer service. The front desk personnel were also friendly and welcoming and we were allowed to check-in very early after arriving on the morning ferry.

St Magnus Bay Hotel, hotel in Busta

In the heart of Shetland, St Magnus Bay Hotel is set in beautiful, tranquil surroundings. It was once frequented by W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, the poet and playwright.

The staff was wonderful - courteous, friendly, kind and super helpful whenever we needed anything. They seemed to make every effort to be sure that their guests are well taken care of and have an enjoyable stay. Our room was spotlessly clean and our bed was extremely comfortable. Housekeeping was attentive as well. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The restaurant was also excellent, with attentive service and delicious food. The location is in a gorgeous and magical part of Shetland. I look forward to returning on our next trip to Shetland!

The food was fantastic. Great alternative to eating out all the time. We ate breakfasts and suppers at the hotel, and ate our lunches in Lerwick.

    Great access to Muckle Roe, must see destination; lovely home cooking with farm fresh ingrediends (the lamb is a must); generous size, renovated room with modern bathroom; reliable regular bus service to other places in Shetland for those with backpacks, the isolation from town is a bonus, so relaxing; helpful and friendly service

    A nice clean hotel situated on the waterside.

    A nice clean hotel situated on the waterside. Very good staff who operated well under covid restrictions. The food was good and we enjoyed all our meals. Not gourmet food but good. Excellent selection of whiskies to try and a well balanced wine list.

    I liked the location of the hotel and the staff were all very helpful and friendly. The hotel had just had new boilers fitted so it was very warm and stifling in the bedroom. The dining room could benefit from more lighting as it was quite dark

    The hotel its self does need a little TLC but that didn't take away the good time we had there. As I've said before I would gladly recommend it although now I have thought about it there is no lift to the rooms which are upstairs, I think that would be the only down side for any one who had mobility problems. The hotel is well used by the locals which says a lot when the locals eat out there too.

    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!

    Always a pleasure staying at Busta. Staff are always first class, food excellent, rooms clean and comfortable and wonderfully quiet at night. Such a relief from city centre hotels. Would love to have more time to study the history of the site. Will make every effort to have a holiday visit rather than just work.

    All the staff were very positive and helpful, especially when we had an early start on leaving. The location is beautiful and the hotel has a lot of character. The Long Room was a great venue for meeting other guests and sampling whiskies or drinks of choice. The food was of good quality, with ample portions.

    The service and staff, especially Bradley (!) was exceptional. it was a beautiful, historical property, conveniently located to do day trips around the whole of Shetland. The food was great: the breakfast selection was very good: varied, fresh, and generous portions. The bar menu was top notch.

    The staff makes this hotel, they are the best that I have come across, willing to help and nothing is too much trouble. The location was quiet and the hotel has a large garden (although prone to midges at times - not the hotel staff's problem though just nature).
