"We loved our stay at Busta and only wished we had another day there. Staff was fantastic. The front living room for tea, whiskey or just hanging out was spectacular in charm and comfort. Historic place visited by Queen Elizabeth in 1960. Connection to Shetland TV show adds another fun feature. Great location — less than an hour from Lerwick and close to north and west mainland areas.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Symbister?
The best area to stay in Symbister is directly within the village itself, particularly around the harbor and along the main road.

Symbister is a compact, working fishing village centered around an active harbor. The main road, which runs along the waterfront, features most of the village's amenities, including the local shop and community hall. The Symbister House, a prominent historic building, is also a key landmark in the area. This layout makes the village very walkable.

Solo travelers looking for a quiet retreat will appreciate Symbister. The village offers a genuine glimpse into island life, with opportunities for coastal walks directly from your accommodation and a chance to experience the local pace.
When is the best time to go to Symbister?
The best time to visit Symbister is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, temperatures are generally between 10°C and 15°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities like exploring the coastline or visiting the local historical sites. You'll also experience extended daylight, with almost 19 hours of daylight around the summer solstice, providing ample time for sightseeing and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. This time of year is ideal for couples and solo travelers looking to make the most of their visit without the colder temperatures or shorter days.

The shoulder seasons, May and September, also offer a pleasant experience with fewer crowds and reasonable weather, though with slightly cooler temperatures. May can be particularly beautiful as spring flowers bloom, and September often provides clear, crisp days superb for walking.
