"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 Vidlin?
The best area to stay in Vidlin is within the village itself, particularly near the waterfront and the B9003 road.

Vidlin is a small, quiet village on the east coast of Mainland Shetland, known for its harbor and as a ferry terminal for the outer islands of Fetlar and Yell. The village is quite compact, with most amenities and accommodations located close to the main road and the pier. It's a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding natural beauty.

Solo travelers and couples looking for a tranquil retreat will find Vidlin ideal. Its quiet setting allows for relaxation and easy access to outdoor activities like coastal walks and birdwatching.
When is the best time to go to Vidlin?
The best time to visit Vidlin is during the summer months, specifically from June to August, when the weather is mildest and daylight hours are longest.

During this period, temperatures are generally comfortable, ranging from 10°C to 15°C (50°F to 59°F), and there's less chance of strong winds or heavy rainfall. The extended daylight, with almost 24 hours of light around the summer solstice, provides ample opportunity for exploring the outdoors, including coastal walks and boat trips. This time is ideal for couples who want to enjoy the scenic beauty without the harshness of winter weather.

The shoulder seasons of May and September also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds, though the weather can be a bit more unpredictable.
