We had a fantastic stay at Lerwick House. The place was very clean, tidy, and well set up for our group booking. There was plenty of space for everyone, making it perfect for larger groups or team trips. The views looking out over Butterfields Beach were absolutely beautiful and made for a very relaxing stay. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the island.

We had our second stay here. Great location just across from a beach where we got a show from a sea-lion. We saw a kiwi on the property two nights which was very special. Perfect place for a large group. Lots of towels which is great and a washing machine.

We lived this property, it was clean and tidy quirky. The views are to die for. The minor issue we had when we arrived was very quickly sorted by owners which we so appreciated. The use of the vehicle was fantastic as a couoke of us have difficulty walking. Beds were comfortable and warm. All facilities were wonderful.
