Guest Reviews

• Phoebe (10/5): - The hosts were so nice and the location was perfect to see the city and the islands from.
• bert (9/5): Fantastische locatie. - Voortreffelijke accomodatie, heel rustig en ook comfortabel. Het ontbijt was goed verzorgd en lekker. Niets
• penny (10/5): Quality accommodation, welcoming hosts and fantastic views. - Exceptionally clean and well maintained. Thoughtful touches like teabags and coffee provided. Magnificent views of the island and across the bay to Lerwick.
• Beverley (10/5): - Fabulous views; quiet rural location
• Pippa (10/5): Perfect! - It was spotless and so well equipped. Comfortable and warm and cosy. Nothing
• Claire (10/5): Idyllic accommodation on beautiful Bressay - The property was beautifully presented with every thought given to comfort and hospitality. We loved the views across the island and the wellness centre within the accommodation was a wonderful relaxing addition to our stay. At a small cost we had access to a fabulous jacuzzi, sauna and steam room. Lindsay was really one of the best hosts I have encountered, in fact all the people of Shetland were so welcoming and happy. This was a massive take away from our trip. I would most certainly choose the accommodation again. A big 10/10 Nothing
• Caroline (10/5): A very pleasant stay in very comfortable accommodation. -
• Monique (10/5): - L'emplacement est magnifique, très calme . De nombreuses promenades sont possibles sur l'île même, et le ferry, dont les traversées sont très fréquentes, permet d'accéder à Lerwick et de rayonner autour facilement. Les hôtes sont agréables et discrets. De plus, excellente surprise, on est venu nous chercher au ferry à l'arrivée et on nous y a reconduit au départ, très appréciable pour nous qui étions à pied avec nos bagages !
• Sam (9/5): Superb elevated tranquil location with stunning views. - Superb location overlooking Lerwick bay. Lovely apartment/ room. Very relaxing stay. Highly recommended. Nothing really
• Patrick (10/5): Superb stay, clean, comfortable and peaceful. - Due to the islands suffering a broadband cable failure Midgarth had no internet access (beyond the owners control) but another property was provided with internet access. Owner met me at the ferry and guided me to the house. Excellent service and huge continental breakfast pack provided. The weather :-)
• Monique (10/5): -
• Monique (10/5): -
• Shona (10/5): Super place to stay, gorgeous location, great hosts and will definately be back. - Place was super clean, smelt amazing! Gorgeous location and views. Hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. Only thing was no regular coffee sachets without milk in them, only decaf. Spa looked amazing, but was quite expensive for a one off visit.
• Mary (8/5): Restful stay with comfortable room (other than the scent diffuser issues) with great bed, hsndy kitchen. - Quiet location. Well appointed small kitchenette. Friendly owners. Strong smelling aromatherapy diffuser in lobby—- over powering scent, can be irritating to those with asthma or chemical sensitivities. Also had a plug in scent diffuser in room, also over powering scent and bothered my lungs. Shetland has the most wonderful, clean air…. Let the clean air be the star:) Brighter light option in room would be handy. A footstool for when sitting on couch would make it even more comfy.
• Xintao (10/5): -
• Christine (10/5): Very comfortable accommodation. - I felt very pleased to have found this lovely accommodation. The rooms are beautifully finished and have everything you need to self cater. I particularly liked the fact I could lay in bed and look out over a lovely meadow. This is nothing to do with the property but if you want to visit the Heritage Centre or Splendiburn Cafe check the opening dates before you book.
• Thomas (10/5): Bressay is a nice relaxing place to stay, with plenty of walks to keep you occupied. Very pleasant experience. - A clean and pleasant property with everything we needed for our short stay. Our hosts was very friendly and gave us some good advice on places to visit, and went out of their way to help us. Leaving, didn’t want to go home.
• Philip (10/5): Brilliant.our hosts are the most caring and considerate people you could hope to meet - A wonderful location just a 10 minute cycle ride from the ferry. Views are exceptional. Despite the rugged green landscape of the island, there is a local shop selling everything you need and a community centre which is warm and welcoming and served delicious cake and coffee. The local hotel provided us with a great evening meal. Nothing
• Angela (10/5): - Very helpful and good local knowledge. Ferry's run frequently and no need to book. Studio was very comfortable and furnished very well. Nothing to not like for us. We were looking for peace and quiet and this is what we had.
• Neil (10/5): A nice welcome beautiful surroundings - Modern stylish and very very clean. Nothing.
• Sabine (10/5): Exceptional - Really nice lodging, a very helpful host and a stunning view over Bressay Sound. Quiet and peaceful place. We highly recommend it.
• Kirstie (9/5): Superb -
• Sim (10/5): Exceptional - The Location and the Isle are superb. The Apartment is clean and have a very complete kitchenette! Nothing
• Cécile (10/5): Marvellous and very comfortable stay in Bressay. - We were welcomed by the owner, we received all the informations regarding the check-in/check-out. The room was ver very pleasant, the room is well equipped a very cosy. There is a mini starter kit (coffee, soap, biscuits, cereals, milk, sponge, etc..) and everything you need to cook. The bathroom was very clean and soaps from the shetlands are provided. The view is stunning. And the beds are so comfortable, it is like sleeping on a cloud. It was easy to park in front of the hotel. It is easy to find from the ferry and there is pub/restaurant a few minutes away. Perfect stay ! Nothing bad, everything was perfect.
• Linda (9/5): Island hopping - Large studio apartment with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Idea location for spending time walking around Bressay and visiting the isle of Noss. n.a
• John (9/5): Superb -
• George (8/5): It fitted our needs - A standard oven rather than a combi microwave would have been less niche
• Ramaharris (8/5): Very good -
• Jane (9/5): Great location to explore mainland Shetland. - The host greeted me when I arrived. The apartment was clean, well equipped, quiet and with beautiful views. Walking was great, and very convenient for the most northerly Park run in UK! The island of Bressay seemed like a very friendly place. Island ferry quick and runs regularly. Nothing to dislike.
• Simon (9/5): Superb - Lovely accomodation, very clean and cosy. Our hosts were very friendly and accommodating and were available on site should we have needed anything, although we had everything we needed provided. They are in the process of setting up what looks to be a very nicely appointed spa room with multiple relaxation options too! The reception area also smells lovely with an electric diffuser running on the counter 😀
• Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly helpful owners. Great location and beautiful studio.
• Lynn (9/5): Superb -
• Olivia (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Heather (10/5): Midgarth was a wonderful place to stay on the beautiful island of Bressay, that I would highly recommend! - Midgarth was extremely clean. Everything seemed brand new. The apartment was thoughtfully put together and had everything we needed. The beds were super comfortable! Kim accommodated a special request for us, that was very much appreciated.
• Gerry (10/5): Exceptional - Midgarth House was a real find. We were only sorry that we could not stay longer.
• Rene (10/5): Comfortable apartment with great views - Comfortable and with great views apartment. 3 min drive from Lerwick-Bressay ferry. Good facilities.
• Sheibon (9/5): Superb - Very clean, good amenities, exceptional staff. Lovely, comfortable room with everything you possibly need for a short stay. Made full use of the kitchen provided and had some breakfast, even had a dishwasher that we can use to aid clean up. 10/10 would recommend! Absolutely nitpicking here - hot water was a little bit slow to come on but we managed fine
• Michiel (9/5): Beautiful Apartments, Well-Appointed, Stunning Location - This is an exceptionally spacious and comfortable property. The apartments are very well appointed and come with a handy kitchen. We had an apartment with a lovely view of the surrounding area, sheep grazing etc. It takes about half an hour to walk to the ferry which departs once every hour to Lerwick. The host was often willing to pick us up if we did not feel like walking back from the ferry at the end of the day. There is a small supermarket nearby. Near the ferry there's once hotel with a restaurant. It is good to keep in mind that this property is not on the main island or in Lerwick. It takes ten minutes by ferry which goes once an hour. From the ferry it is a half an hour to the property on foot. The ferry does transport cars as well. We knew this from the start and were happy to be on a lovely quiet island away from town but it may not work for everybody.
• Janice (9/5): Superb - Lovely property in a beautiful location. Very friendly hosts The inconvenience of having to get a ferry.
• Des (10/5): Lindsay & Kim are exceptional hosts and we just cannot give enough praise - Pretty much everything. Nothing
• Rachel (8/5): Lovely decor, good kitchen facilities and very clean. - Beautiful decor, everything clean and lovely bathroom.
• Callum (10/5): Beautiful apartment in a picturesque location. - The apartment is amazing - so modern and with everything you need for an amazing stay. The views from all windows are stunning and you really can feel yourself relax as soon as you arrive. Lindsay, the owner, was so welcoming to us and made us feel at home right away. The apartment is equipped with everything that you need for a great stay and the place is spotlessly clean. We can't recommend the property enough and will definitely stay again should we return to Shetland. No negatives at all.
• Iona (10/5): Great place to stay! - A brilliant stay. Very accommodating and friendly hosts. The island of Bressay is beautiful and the apartment a 10 min bike ride from the ferry which goes really regularly. Absolutely loved it.
• Raymond (10/5): If you want someplace super quiet they won’t come much better than this, will definitely return and recommend - Everything such a beautiful place and location, Kim the host was great.
• Mischa (10/5): Exceptional - Nice clean Apartement. Good kitchen. The Isle is great for walks and birding. Noss is very close. Also has a Shop nearby. Everything was good. Nothing to complain.
• Klaudia (10/5): Exceptional - it exceeded our expectations, a great place to experience Shetland - The apartment was excellent: very clean, modern but cozy at the same time. I travel a lot (staying from campsites to 5 star hotels) and this was one of my favourite stays. It felt homely, was very peaceful and the hosts (Kim and Lesley) were so nice and helpful. They gave us many tips about the area. Staying here is a great way to experience Shetland (the atmosphere, walks and the friendly people); close to Lerwick - with frequent ferries. I/we highly recommend Midgarth House Apartments! We have nothing bad/negative to say - it exceeded our expectations
• Damon (10/5): Fantastic apartment located on a lovely island with easy access to local ferries 2 Noss & Lerwick. - Liked the warm welcome on arrival & throughout the stay. Above & beyond giving a lift to the ferry to get back to Lerwick to pick hire car up. Apartment was excellent, bed very comfortable, bathroom massive & a gr8 view out of the window. Watching the cruise ships stopping in Lerwick added a smile to my stay. Liked the whole stay will definitely be returning to explore more. Noss Island is very close to the property & is well worth a visit. The outside decking area is fantastic with views across to Lerwick. Didn't like not booking longer at the property. 2 days is clearly not enough time in such a comfortable property/location
• David (10/5): Relaxing - Location is on Island of Bressay but ferries to mainland are frequent and Island of Bressay is great to explore.
• Catherine (10/5): Perfect spot great facilities - So well furnished and kitted out, really comfortable place to stay on Bressay. Nothing.
• Dittmar (5/5): Passable - There was a quite good electrical heater. We didn't get the studio we have booked, although we got a confirmation. Insteat the expected seaview we could look on two ugly TV-towers. In the studio there was neither a cubboard nor shelves to put our things in, so all things must lay on the floor. The half of the space is blocked by two really big armchairs, but when you sit in them you can't look out of the window, you just see the beds. In the bathroom the toilet seat was not fixed in the right way, so the lid came always against your back. Beside that the ventilation was out of order. When it is windy you hear an extremly loud wisteling noise, even when you shut the windows and wear earplugs. In total we can't recommend this accomodation, it is too expensive for what you get.
• Jane (8/5): This was perfect for a short stay and the owners could not have been more helpful. - Well equipped apartment in a convenient location. Kim & Lindsay the proprietors were efficient, friendly and helpful. Quite compact but it had everything we needed for our stay.
• John (9/5): Very clean and comfortable - Lovely bedding and nice size room
• Peter (9/5): Lovely hosts, clean and comfortable room. - Easy access and nicely finished property. Can park down at the ferry and go across to the mainland as a foot passenger on very regular ferries. My error in not appreciating it is a studio apartment, so a little tight for space and nowhere to unpack clothes, as we were there for a week. Not a problem at all for a couple of days stay.
• Fiona (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptional accommodation, lovely helpful and welcoming host. Excellent facilities, spotless. Wi-Fi bit iffy.
• Townshend (10/5): Perfect - Location was fantastic. Clean and modern. Welcoming owner. Bottle of milk in the fridge was a welcome extra touch that counts. Nothing
• Susan (9/5): As above, a lovely, peaceful stay - Rural, peaceful, beautiful surroundings, fresh and clean N/a
• Gabrielle (10/5): Exceptional - The accommodations are perfect, checking all of the essential boxes and more. The hosts are incredibly friendly, present, easy to reach, and will go above and beyond.
• Daniel (10/5): Stunning apartment with an excellent view (Room 1) - Absolutely brilliant studio apartment. Perfect for a couples getaway, or for a business trip. Nice clean decor and excellent views
• Elizabeth (10/5): Stunning location and accommodation . - The apartment was beautifully decorated and the views from the windows and deck were stunning. Kim and Lindsay are very attentive and friendly hosts. Would highly recommend Midgarth.
• Karen (10/5): Excellent stay, very comfortable. - Kim was an excellent host and called on the day of our arrival to let us know the room was ready and was waiting to show us around when we arrived. The bed was a little soft for me but that’s hardly a complaint.
• Anne (10/5): Exceptional -
• Isabella (10/5): Exceptional - The friendly helpful couple were just the best. Picked us up from the ferry and drove us around showing us where good walks were and how to get to Noss Island. We had a great stay and really enjoyed there company and they were even good enough to let us check out a little later due to some phone issue we were having.
• Claire (8/5): Very good -
• Claire (8/5): Very good -
• Billie (10/5): Will be back! - Wonderful location if you’re looking to be surrounded by beautiful countryside and views of the sea, the room was fully kitted out and Lindsay was an amazing host! Brilliant!! No complaints!
• Arthur (8/5): Very nice accommodation in a great island location - The facility is very nice and comfortable. The location is great for a quiet stay in the Shetland countryside
