Quiet cottage
Nice area. Very quite. Not much in the area itself, but not far for driving to main towns and if you don’t drive it’s good for the bus.

Mothing in Shetland
We had an amazing stay in the Chalet at Scalloway from where we explored more of Shetland. The local history was very interesting and our host was extremely knowledgeable about it and the wildlife locally.The weather helped our moth catch which we were happy to share daily with our host Mark. We would love to return to Shetland and particularly Viewcliff.
