Great stay, particularly food and great time with locals in bar afterwards. Felt like a real Shetland experience!
Pros:

Friendly People. Great food. Regular( half hour) ferry makes this a better place to stay than at Lerwick. Trip is only 10 minutes across to Lerwick.

Cons:

Would have been better off with a car to see Bressay as there are no busses .

Prettige kamer en mooie locatie, maar geen hotel vibe.
Pros:

De locatie is prachtig

Cons:

We hadden van een hotel meer verwacht, ook gezien de prijs van ons verblijf. Het was zeker niet slecht, maar we hadden meer een B&B gevoel.

I loved the rugged beauty of Bressay and am so
Pros:

Maryfield House is a beautiful rural hideaway on Shetland’s Bressay. It’s a 7 minute ferry ride to Lerwick village and makes for a very special location. The added bonus is Nellie’s beautiful dinners for those staying in house which is fantastic after a day of touring amazing Shetland. Maryfield won’t disappoint! Thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I should have hired a car!
