We stayed here for Up Helly Aa & were thoroughly impressed with the property. We stayed in room 3, which was well sized, including the biggest bathroom you've ever seen! Much better accommodation than some hotels I've stayed in. The fridge was stocked with cereal, milk, cereal bars, orange juice & oatcakes! The housekeeper was a lovely woman & stocked... More

We arrived as planned, no hiccups with getting the Key and I have to say it was the lap of luxury in the apartment. Parking is outside on the Road so very easy to get your luggage in, and its ideally located for Ferry over the Bressay, to shop in the Town of Lerwick, and the views are lovely. Would... More

Brentham house is slightly unusual in that it is a like a holiday apartment rental that doesn't require a whole week to be rented, which is good. Keys are collected by the restaurant on the corner of the road, the lady at the bar who passed me the key over was really friendly and helpful. There is parking right across... More

I stayed for 5 nights at the Brentham house. I booked the Bressay suite and may i say the apartment was fabulous. It has a large fully fitted kitchen with all the utensils that you could possibly need. The lounge/diner has a nice comfy leather 3 piece suite, large flat screen TV and a four seater dining table. The bedroom... More

Good quality accommodation and 'thought through'. Nicely appointed, huge bathroom with free standing bath (although bath taps leaked when on full over the floor) and fast WiFi. Can park outside overnight and good view of the harbour. Breakfast underwhelming but as described but this was the only niggle.

My husband and I spend the last night of our honeymoon to Shetlands staying in Brentham house which was excellent value at £75 for the night. After a week staying in a hostel and walking everyday, we thought we were in heaven after checking into Brentham. The room was gorgeous with great views of Lerwick harbour, location between the bus... More

I found the room (room 2 - up a lot of stairs) to be spacious and clean, though I'm not a fan of continental breakfasts. I'd point out I did know about this arrangement beforehand. Decent location for Town Centre. You can get parked right outside on steep street if you appear after about 6-30pm, otherwise there is free car... More

We stayed in Room 3 on 2nd floor. The room was cleaned but the carpet and chair were marked and didn't give the feeling of clean. Breakfast is left in the fridge, so not that satisfactory for the price. The bathroom was massive and the saving grace. We stayed at other B&B's on the islands and this was the least... More

Nice sized property near harbour. No reception - keys are picked up from nearby restaurant. Parking is on street only. Continental breakfast items replenished daily. Bathroom dated and housekeeping needs to improve. We stayed in bressay suite which had separate kitchen - worktops etc wiped but not cleaned and sheets on beds could be better.
