When staying at dog friendly Herrislea House in Shetland, you can enjoy the fresh, rugged landscape, blaze your own trail and explore our heritage.

This was my first visit to the Shetland Islands, and Marjorie and her very capable staff made me feel so welcome. The meals were a delight, the room so large and comfortable. I did not have a single bad experience here. Thank you Marjorie, Blagadarya Milena and the rest of your colleagues. :) I hope to return when time permits.
