Description

Nestled on a peaceful hilltop in Hamnavoe, Burra Isle, the property is the ideal place to unwind and soak in the natural beauty of Shetland. With sweeping views over the village and out to the lighthouse and uninhabited Atlantic islands, this tranquil retreat offers both comfort and connection with nature.

Inside you’ll find everything you need for a restful and cosy stay, there is one bedroom with a very comfortable double bed, complete with high-quality bed linen and pillows for a great night’s sleep, as well-equipped kitchen and a cosy living room featuring a smart TV monitor and DVD player

Please note: the owners do not have a TV licence, so live TV cannot be viewed. However, the smart TV monitor allows you to enjoy a wide selection of DVDs, or you can connect to Netflix, YouTube, or stream content from your tablet or phone.

Step outside onto the west-facing accessible patio, complete with seating and a table – the perfect spot to enjoy a drink and take in a glowing Shetland sunset after a day of exploring.

Location

Located on the west side of Shetland, Burra Isle offers a wonderful balance of peace and accessibility. It’s just a short drive to the capital, Lerwick, and within easy reach of many of the archipelago’s most stunning locations. 

The property is surrounded by spectacular coastal walks. Just a short stroll away lies the famous Meal Beach, with its soft white sand and turquoise waters. Despite being a scenic spot featured in the Shetland TV series and a favourite with wild swimmers; you’ll often find it quiet – even completely empty. Venture out to the nearby lighthouse and you might spot seals, otters, or even orca along the way.
