SHETLAND > MAINLAND SHETLAND - BUSTA HOUSE HOTEL

Visit busta house

Busta House gazes majestically out over the Voe, tranquil and enduring despite its darkly romantic history. Endure total peace, excellent cuisine and be cared for in a unique fashion.

If Shetland doesn't spring into your mind as the ideal place for a holiday, perhaps its because youve never been here. On those who do come to these islands it exerts a powerful magic. And they come back... Always! Few places in Britain still have such completely unspoilt scenery and coastline. It is said that nowhere in Shetland is more than 3 miles from the sea, and every bend in the road reveals yet another enchanting view as heather -clad moorland unfolds on to peaty streams and lochs or white sandy beaches and towering cliffs, and overhead the vast dramatic sky is changing constantly -brilliantly blue in sunshine or drenched with stormclouds and rainbows.

Busta House gazes majestically out over the Voe, tranquil and enduring despite its darkly romantic history, its lawns roll gently down to the small harbour.
