"My first room was a bit of a disappointment, but when I was moved to a ground floor room for my last two nights, it was a real “wow!” moment when I saw the view.
The restaurant was closed, so no breakfast was on offer. It would have been useful to know this up front.
The staff were very kind and helpful."
"The chalets are set in the most beautiful location overlooking Scalloway. Easy access by car to the whole island. The chalet was very clean with everything we needed and perfect for 2 people. We loved our visit and would definitely return to Scalloway and the Chalets again. Will be recommending to friends and family, thank you Sarah."
"Older property but with distinct charm. It is well maintained and clean. Good breakfast and good onsite dining. Extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient staff."
NEW to VRBO: Scalloway Charm • 1BR Apt with Coastal Views
10/10 Excellent
"Well presented flat right by the harbour. Comfotable even in the worst of the Shetland storms. A minor niggle was dealt with very promptly by the hosts. Definitely recommended as a destination"
Voortrekker apartments - Mogill - Hot Tub & Sauna area
10/10 Excellent
"Niki and Piet have created a beautiful haven in their Mogill apartment. Nothing was too much trouble for them and with the added bonus of the sauna and hot tub, this turned into one of the best holidays we have experienced. We were able to relax and sit and watch the animals (including Tom and Jerry the goats) and birds and look out over the cliffs and sea.We were a little concerned when we booked that we were too far down South, but we needn't have worried. With great roads and connections the Voortrekker apartments are a lovely base to discover Shetland. Mogill apartment is beautifully decorated and has everything you need as well as being spotless. The robes, provided for the hot tub and sauna are a lovely touch. This was more than a holiday, this took us down a notch or two in the pace of our life at a time when we really needed it.Thankyou Niki and Piet x"
