We were here for a 5 night stay with friends. It's an excellent, comfortable B & B with a very warm welcome from Jean and her husband. A fantastic view over the neighbouring Loch Spiggie and very convenient for the airport. We'd recommend it without reservation and would definately stay again.

We only stayed for 7 hours but it was a good stay. Jean stayed up to let us in at 11pm then got up again to make is breakfast for 6am. A very nice B&B at a good price - would definitely stay again. I'm writing just a little more as seemingly reviews must be 200 words - that should... More

We spent a week in mid September 2012 with Jean and her husband. What a warm and welcoming experience it was. The house is immaculate and the breakfasts something to dream about, but, in addition, there was just that little bit extra that made this break for us just a bit special.The attention to detail,the warm comfortable lounge with all...

We stayed for two nights at this clean comfortable and tranquil B & B which is situated in a beautiful location by Loch Spiggie. Jean was the perfect host , the room was comfortable and spotlessly clean and both my husband and I said that we should have stayed for more nights. The breakfast was excellent, Jean's home made scones... More

We stayed at Setter Brae for 3 nights. Our room wasn't en suite, but we were the only upstairs guests, so that wasn't an issue. The room was very comfortable, well maintained, and with a nice big bed. Jean makes you very welcome. Her breakfasts (which we took in the conservatory, with lovely views across the loch) were brilliant. She... More

We stayed for 2 nights at this quiet, beautifully situated B&B, which is close to all the attractions of S. Shetland. Very pleasant room with a modern, spotlessly clean ensuite, charming hosts and excellent breakfasts. The comfortable sitting room with its supply of local books was a real bonus. Stunning views over Loch of Spiggie, and the owners' beautiful garden.

Great stay for two nights here, lovely breakfasts and amazing fresh homemade scones. Yum yum! Shetland Soap Company products used showed use of local products. Their dog was out of the way but we managed to get her attention, beautiful well behaved Labrador who made our stay. Don't worry if you are not a dog lover as she is totally... More

Lovely warm and friendly welcome from hosts who shared their extensive knowledge of the island. Accommodation spotlessly clean and tidy. Breakfasts were very well prepared and offered a good choice with the addition of home made warm and very tasty bannocks Beautifully appointed double ensuite bedroom had great views over the Loch of Spiggie. Superb stay and will hopefully return.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay here, our room was very large with the most comfortable bed ever, and had a stunning view over the loch. Good private bathroom with a thoughtfully provided fluffy bathrobe and delicious-smelling local Shetland Soaps. Jean was very helpful and booked a table at the Spiggie for us on the first night, breakfast was lovely... More
