Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Shetland Islands

I loved every minute of my time at the Nurse's Annex. A lovely new build with excellent amenities. Plenty of books, puzzles, maps etc. The owner, Lindsay, brought me every volume of the Shetland Wool Week journal to read once she heard I was a knitter. And Yell may have no restaurants but has the most magical scenery. You can get excellent local food (even strawberries) from the nearby shop, or drive to the Old Ha for tea and cake and history. Stunning beaches and excellent walks too. Shetland Gallery worth a stop if you are interested in Shetland crafts and art.

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped house. Well located for local facilities and exploring. Day trip to Yell is a must for anyone visiting this area. Ross was very helpful and responsive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciated relaxing in this house after our days out.

The Chapel in Vidlin is a wonderful place to stay with everything provided that you could wish for. I have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone. We felt right at home there. Thank you to Sylvia for being such a fabulous host. We would love to come back one day!

Alison & Garrie were superb hosts! One of the best AirBNBs we’ve ever stayed at. Lovely furnishings, warm & welcoming, beautiful views, comfy beds, spacious kitchen & living room, handy laundry area. Easy check in & check out. Excellent WiFi connection. Lots of helpful recommendations. We loved our time visiting around the Shetlands & could always count on coming back to a comfy home. Highly recommend staying here if you’re ever visiting the Shetland Islands. Thank you again for everything!

Charming cottage in excellent location! Cozy and comfortable, appreciated the extras like welcome basket with fresh bread, coffee, milk & more. Responsive host who went above & beyond to make our trip perfect. Thank you Averill & Graham.

I admit I hadn’t looked at all the information before booking. At the time of booking last year I was just so delighted to find a pet friendly place at a very reasonable price for a solo traveller. I am absolutely delighted that I found Greenvale. Dave and Debbie are fabulous hosts. They gave such valuable information about places to explore and I felt I had my own personal weather forecasters. It’s so important to listen to, and appreciate people with local knowledge. I was grateful to have a comfortable place to relax, especially when waiting for the weather to change. I loved the mystery of breakfasts. They were a real bonus. Debbie is a great chef. I’d happily give 10 stars for breakfasts. My Border Terrier, Ella, was also made to feel very welcome. She and Broonie got on well. Greenvale is unique and I am so pleased I embraced everything about it. I have benefitted in mind and body from staying there. Thank you Dave and Debbie for making my stay so memorable.

A very spacious, discrete, comfortable and well equipped home, optimally placed to explore the full extent of the islands. The nearby CoOp and garage in Brae have all the supplies you need. Fresh mussels and scallops available daily from the shellfish farm across the bay. Amazing wildlife, including otters on the lawn. Nikita is a super host, very supportive with good ideas, such as where to spot Orcas. The nearby Brae hotel does good dinners. Thoroughly recommend staying as long as you can to enjoy a special place, people and wildlife in the British Isles. Thanks Nikita!

Fogralea was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Accommodation was exactly as described. Amazing views and a lovely 30 minute walk down into town and an energetic climb back up fuelled by good food and drink. Would love to come back; Shetland is stunning. Ruairidh from Shetland Stays was responsive and very helpful.

We had a fantastic time on Bressay, I'm very happy I chose this little island over the mainland, it was peaceful and quiet with breathtaking scenery and still very close to Lerwick & the big shops. The apartment itself was perfectly located within the island: a very short walking distance from the local café, shop & play park downhill - and a little longer, but lovely walk to isle of Noss uphill, ferry to the mainland wasn't too far either, around about 30-40 mins walk... Kim was incredibly nice and helpful offering us lifts & taking our luggage down to the ferry port on our last day! The apartment was perfect for our needs: lots of green area outside, lovely fresh air, beautiful surroundings, stunning views from the terrace, spacious rooms, comfortable bed & armchairs, lovely modern bathroom (++Shetland 🧼 Co toiletries 😍), compact well equipped modern kitchen. I'd love to return, thanks so much for everything Kim & Lindsay!

With friendly, helpful hosts and a cosy, warm atmosphere, this one of the best places we’ve stayed. From the breathtaking views to the comfy and beautifully equipped accommodation with its warm and relaxing spa, Niki and Piet have created a true oasis of tranquility in a hectic world. While Shetland itself was even better than we’d hoped for, our trip was made truly special with our stay at Voortrekker.

Perfect for our group. Nice big kitchen, well set up for cooking. Easy to hang out as a group in the kitchen and living room.

Place was perfect, travelling for work, 5minute walk from work and easily accessible to other things in the town. Place was ideal for what I needed

beautiful 3 double bed apartment. Spacious, spotlessly clean with everything you would need contained within. A real home from home. the location was fantastic. Central and everything within walking distance. We hired a car to explore the island and get us to and from the airport. Ample parking on the road outside the flat. Carina, our host, popped in on our arrival to welcome us and was very helpful with her local knowledge on good places to go. Our three day visit was a great break and we all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Shetland and couldn't have picked a better place to stay. 10 out of 10!

Very comfortable stay. Kitchen was well equipped. Frig had a collection of sauces and condiments in small sealed jars - very useful when you are on a short break. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Tourist information was laid out in the lounge. Parking was always available in the street outside. Jennifer also provided some sweet treats for when we arrived. Much appreciated!

Voortrekker ranks as one of the top places I've ever stayed. Not only was the apartment very evidently thoughtfully handcrafted (half of the furniture is built-in) it was also very functional with everything well supplied, especially the kitchen. This was only made better by its location, with amazing views and perfectly positioned near the airport and for adventuring in any direction you'd wish. The spa is a fantastic addition. Lastly, Niki and Piet were incredibly helpful and knowledgeable hosts – plus they helped me out (twice!) when I had car trouble. As a woman travelling solo, the apartment struck the perfect balance of privacy/independence and security/safety. I highly recommend staying here!

Absolutely amazing hosts, so attentive with great recommendations and so helpful. Was able to check in earlier and check out later as hosts were aware of ferry times. Quick response times, the MOST amazing views from accommodation overlooking Scalloway. Could not have ask for a better stay in this beautiful home with fantastic hosts. Always available to ask for suggestions and recommendations, went above and beyond for us during our stay and will definitely be returning. Accommodation was very clean, comfortable and everything you need. Thank you so much again Joanne and John
