Holiday Rental House
The accommodation we provide is in the small fishing village of Scalloway which is situated on the west side of mainland Shetland, 6 miles west from the main town of LERWICK and a 35 minute drive from Sumburgh Airport (approx. 26 miles). On one side we have open fields with either sheep or Shetland Ponies grazing with Scalloway Museum on the other side - a few steps down the street is the ancient ruined Scalloway Castle which is now owned and managed by Scottish Natural Heritage. ...The accommodation we provide is in the small fishing village of Scalloway which is situated on the west side of mainland Shetland, 6 miles west from the main town of LERWICK and a 35 minute drive from Sumburgh Airport (approx. 26 miles).

Fantastic B&B

My wife and I are very picky with B&Bs. We booked Castle Gardens as a one-day booking after noticing we had a "hole" in our schedule. I wish our hole was bigger, this was a marvellous experience. The room was very clean, large and comfortable....More
