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

Whether you are here for business or play, we are happy to spoil you with fine teas in beautiful china, crystal clear Shetland gin, cosy hot chocolate or cool beers.

We can also offer you a limited selection of snacks. Then you can settle in to the comfort of our Front Room with drinks or coffee & tab nabs and a dram from our fine malt whisky selection. Perhaps a chat with our friendly ghost just before deep sleep in a sleigh bed. At Herrislea House, we offer Shetland accommodation with a choice of 9 individually designed en suite bedrooms, each one with its own dcor and cosily heated.

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.

Nice enough place. The room we got was labeled very small, but it was enough. The food was mediocre to my (American) taste. Sometimes hard to find a staff member to get our keys back--for those who stay here my recommendation is to ask the staff at checking what to do in that situation.
