Shetland Glamping is a small family run glamping site at Rerwick in Shetland’s southwest mainland. Situated 8 miles from Sumburgh Airport and 18 miles from Lerwick, our luxury glamping pods enjoy glorious sea views in what is a very peaceful and scenic part of the islands. Each pod has a double bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed so can sleep a maximum of six, making them ideal for families, but also couples too. The pods also contain a spacious shower room, a well-equipped kitchenette with hob, combi oven/microwave, fridge/freezer, kettle and toaster, as well as a living/dining space. Our pods also feature underfloor heating, smart TVs, free superfast wifi, integrated Bluetooth speakers and USB wall sockets. All bedding and towels is provided. Outdoors, each pod has its own private chipped area out front with a picnic table. The site also has a large communal child’s play area and on-site parking. With stunning scenery, an abundance of wildlife, numerous sandy beaches and a variety of visitor attractions, the south mainland has something for everyone and, at Shetland Glamping, our guests will be well placed to experience all that the area has to offer.
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
The glamping site was quiet, great location perfect for viewing the stars. The pod itself was cosy, comfortable, warm, well equipped and well stocked. The host was very accommodating, date change due to ferry not running. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay on Shetland.

Facilities are brilliant, everything you need. We had all 3 pods booked with family including a wheelchair user so the accessible pod was a great addition. Hosts are great, could not rate them enough! Thanks for a brilliant stay. We have booked our next stay!

I stayed in one of Shetland Glampings pods for work at the end of November. A well designed and laid out pod. Well heated especially with the time of year and the freezing temperatures outside. The wifi was good and all the amenities you could want were there.
Information for your stay was laid out in a handy format for you to review and the hosts were very helpful responding to any questions in a decent timescale. All in all a good experience and one I would recommend to anyone looking for something little bit different than the normal hotel stay for work.

Room Tip:Book early to avoid disappointment as the pods book up a good bit in advance.

We stayed as a family of 5 in the Shalder pod, and really enjoyed it. The pods were really clean, organised and homely. They had all the kitchen utensils you would ever need and modern technology. Really loved the underfloor heating. All the beds were comfy. The kids loved the bunk beds. We used the fire pit to roast our marshmallows and there’s a great outdoor climbing frame for the kids to play on. The owners were really helpful, if you needed anything they were available. Highly recommend the pods for a place to stay in Shetland. Looking forward to staying again in the future

Fantastic location with a view to Loch of Spiggie and The hills beyond. The camping pod exceeds all our expectations and has added to our holiday in Shetland, would highly recommend. Lots to see within a short distance including the walk across the tombolo to St Ninians Island.

Fabulous Glamping pod in a picturesque spot and everything you could need for a short trip away has been thought of. Great location for visiting St Ninians Isle, Sumburgh Lighthouse and the many lovely beaches near by. Lovely hosts who are very kind and thoughtful. I’ll be back for another visit.

What a fantastic weekend had by all, facilities are absolutely first class everything you could need. Even though the weather wasn’t fantastic there’s so much do to locally from swimming in sandwick to coffee and hot chocolate and fresh pastries at Bigton Bakery. Pods have lovely local touches like Shetland soap company soaps and eco friendly fire lighters, and recycling bins on site they have thought of everything. Play area is super for kids and meeting neighbours 😊 contact with hosts always quickly replied if needed. We will definitely be back 👍
