Symbister Vacations from $1,309

It was our first time in Shetland and from the day we arrived the staff could not have done anything more for us they went over and above to help us with places to go things to see . We arrived 5 hours early and they still let us check in so we could catch up on some sleep, Scott and Curtis are just fantastic they also go over and above to help they so friendly and happy which was nice to see and the singing was not to bad either ,The hotel is located in a very central location as there is a Chinese five minutes up the road and a chippy two minutes walk down from the hotel and a coop at the bottom of the hill , that is of course if you don’t want to eat in the hotel as the food is just as good too. I would certainly recommend this hotel.

We had a lovely 4 night stay at Busta House in October 2025. The building has plenty of historic character and it was nice and warm, even as autumn temperatures began to hit. The bed was very large and comfortable. The food was excellent with plenty of choice and was always served piping hot. The staff were great, friendly and always willing to help, especially Alan and the owner, Grant. There is free parking on site. The two bonuses to our stay were seeing the northern lights and what must be one of the largest whisky collections on the Island (over 200 bottles to sample!). I learned a lot about whisky over the course of our stay.
