The perfect place for exploring the north of Shetland mainland and the outlying islands.

This is a elegant retreat on two levels including a large kitchen/dining room, downstairs bathroom and upstairs bedrooms and living area.

The View is on a small estate

The space
Come and stay where the Atlantic Ocean meets the North Sea.

The View is close to the north of mainland Shetland and a great base for exploring the whole islands. The ferries to the northern isles are fifteen minutes drive away. The capital, Lerwick, is twenty five minutes drive away and the North Mainland is fifteen to thirty minutes drive away.

The View is situated in the village of Brae, which has a swimming pool, playgrounds, a gym and exercise facilities, a doctors and dentist surgery, fuel station and multiple shops and a mini supermarket.

There is good public transport and we are fifty minutes by car from the airport and twenty five minutes from the ferry terminal.

There are excellent books and leaflets in the house, as well as a guidebook of our favourite places to eat and visit.

Guest access
Guests can access the porch, hallways, kitchen and dining room, downstairs bathroom, living space, upstairs bathroom and three bedrooms. There is ample parking outside.

Other things to note
The Studio is towards the front of the house and is occasionally used as office space through the day. There are separate parking and entrances and you will have complete privacy through your stay.

The house is on a small estate and is set back from the road with two houses in front.

I love all things creative, especially paper crafts, calligraphy and photography. I enjoy holidays and adventures with my husband and four boys and also the quieter moments when I can enjoy a good book and a cup of tea. We have guests to stay regularly and I’ve tried to carry that sense of home to each of our Airbnb homes.
