We stayed at a number of places on our two-week tour of Scotland. Our favorite place of all was this VRBO in Lerwick. The host, Mandy, was the absolute best! She even picked us up from our old VRBO and helped us and our luggage get to her place. It was clean, comfortable, perfectly located, with a great view. Commercial Street and the harbor are right outside your door. We loved being here and felt well cared for by Mandy. She is also a wonderful tour guide if you want to explore the Shetland Islands! Staying at Stouts Court Apartment and touring with Mandy around Shetland were the highlights of our stay. I would highly recommend both!

No problems with the property and ideal location. Very convenient for a walk to shops or a café. There is a small parking area outside the flat where you could usually find a space when returning from a day out, but occasionally not. It was difficult finding places to eat out, a lot seem to have closed down. Finally we were fantastically lucky with the weather, blue skies most of the week, which makes all the difference to a holiday in Shetland!

Best Week in Shetland

I spent a week in Shetland with a friend and we had the most amazing time. Lots of hiking, swimming, wildlife adventures, history and culture, great food and incredible hospitality. The apartment was fantastic and we had an awesome week there. Great communication with James and Mandy. Easy check in, super comfortable beds, fantastic bathroom, well equipped kitchen and a washing machine which was great. Fabulous location and a short walk to shops, restaurants, ferry terminal, boat harbour and of course DCI Jimmy Perez’s house. James and Mandy were wonderful hosts and made our stay magical and memorable. Thank you so much. I do hope I get to come back again.
