Busta House - Shetland Islands

The evening meal was just lovely, a perfect way to end our holiday. We really enjoyed the vegan and vegetarian menus, although we did notice that some items from the full menu were missing from the vegetarian menu. The desserts were huge and delicious!

Excellent service. Superbly refurbished room. Dinners superb and beautifully cooked. Staff very attentive and very efficient

We are local and wanted an overnight getaway. Busta never disappoints! Great walks around the area and gardens to enjoy before heading into the long room for a drink or two before dinner. All the rooms have been tastefully redecorated to a nice standard. Dinner is a relaxing affair, with great wait staff! The menu doesn’t change much, but that’s not a bad thing, as their dinners are great and never disappoint! Best steak you will get in Shetland by far! The wine list is decent from around the world at great prices. If you know your wine, you don’t need to spend a fortune for a nice bottle if on a budget! I was surprised to find a bottle of Don Pérignon on the list 2012 at a reasonable price, which was lovely! After a three course dinner in the evening, I can’t recommend enough the light smoked poached local haddock and poached eggs to set you up for another walk. Highly recommend!

What a perfect example of hospitality! We walked in hoping for a bar meal, but hadn't booked. The staff were welcoming, warm and professional and we got a table straight away. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. We had the pickled hering as a starter to share and it was delicous. Our main courses were superb too. The steak was perfectly cooked, full of flavour and well seasoned. The peppercorn sauce was gorgeous. The herb breaded whiting was juicy and delicious. We enjoyed the free choice of sides to go with our meal. All in all, a great dinner for a very reasonable price. Hotel owners should send their staff here for training to learn from this amazing team.

If you want tranquility, lovely scenery and a truly warm, friendly welcome everyone in situ then staying here is a must. We had to leave early because of an impending storm front. If we weren’t meeting family on the mainland we would have been more than happy to ride out the storm here in front of an open fire whilst working our way through their extensive malt whisky collection. Many thanks to all involved with the hotel and we are planning to return
