Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Shetland Islands

We loved our stay here and hope to visit again in future - the position on the bay is wonderful and watching the seals and otters each day is really special. We found the house to be well appointed for a week but probably best for 6 adults rather than more as so far seating would be a bit limited. The instructions for finding the house were excellent and it’s well situated for exploring everywhere. Plenty of hot water and lovely and warm which was much appreciated after a week of exploring!

Elizabeth and the Aald Harbour House were simply sensational. The best air bnb we have stayed in because it was exactly as advertised, grewt decor, super location and Elizabeth is tops!

We loved every second of being at The Taing. We were here five nights for Up Helly Aa and we felt it wasn’t long enough. It’s so peaceful and private, with all the amenities you need. We watched the January storms roll in by the fire and felt very cosy inside. We’d give it 10 stars if we could, we can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous spot to stay for a few days in Shetland. Easy access to everything from this location. Wonderful wildlife and extremely friendly people. Great welcome basket with milk, butter, eggs and bread rolls which helped us with picnic lunches. Great food at the local pub too. Thank you x

Lovely comfortable stay with everything you could need. Near to the local Tesco for shopping and petrol station for fuel and other necessities.

St Catherine's was a lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting. It was everything I was looking for. Joy was most helpful and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay there and would love to come back. The garden was beautiful too! Many thanks Joy!

We received a very warm welcome from Gordon and Heather as we visited their Hillside Studio for the second time. The accomodation looks and feels brand new, it’s attractive and spotless, providing everything we needed for a comfortable eleven day stay in Shetland. The studio is ideally situated for access all over Shetland, a great central base for exploring what the island has to offer. It is peacefully situated on a Hillside community of similar properties, with fantastic views and only five minutes from all the facilities of Lerwick. Notwithstanding the new feel that the studio already exudes, Gordon strives to make improvements which will benefit future guests. It’s a great place to stay and we plan to book again for a future holiday!

My family and I spent a very happy two weeks in Wethersta. The house is very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed, right down to flasks and lunchboxes in the kitchen for days out with picnics. Carolyn is very friendly and approachable. We didn’t have any queries, but if we had I’m quite sure she would have helped, as communication with her was excellent. The garden is fenced to keep dogs safely in, although we did have to keep our small terrier on a lead outside. The sheep in the adjacent field proved very tempting for her and she would have found a way to wiggle through the stock fencing if we hadn’t, I’m sure! Wethersta is a good location for visiting many parts of the islands and only 10 miles from Toft from where the ferry for the Northern Isles departs. Curlews calling and lambs bleating outside are a lovely soundscape and really made us feel we’d escaped from the everyday. Thank you Carolyn!

I admit I hadn’t looked at all the information before booking. At the time of booking last year I was just so delighted to find a pet friendly place at a very reasonable price for a solo traveller. I am absolutely delighted that I found Greenvale. Dave and Debbie are fabulous hosts. They gave such valuable information about places to explore and I felt I had my own personal weather forecasters. It’s so important to listen to, and appreciate people with local knowledge. I was grateful to have a comfortable place to relax, especially when waiting for the weather to change. I loved the mystery of breakfasts. They were a real bonus. Debbie is a great chef. I’d happily give 10 stars for breakfasts. My Border Terrier, Ella, was also made to feel very welcome. She and Broonie got on well. Greenvale is unique and I am so pleased I embraced everything about it. I have benefitted in mind and body from staying there. Thank you Dave and Debbie for making my stay so memorable.

We really enjoyed our stay here. An easy drive from Lerwick and great to base ourselves further north for a few days, to enjoy more coastal walks. June's place is clean, spacious and warm. Being located on a working farm, we were able to look out of our windows and see the new born lambs with their mothers (it was lambing season at the beginning of May). The area is peaceful and beautiful and June and her dad, Ivor were welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

The Shepherd's Cottage is delightful: you can walk to St. Ninian's, which is just gorgeous; Rachel was kind and helpful from start to finish; the cottage itself is cozy and thoughtfully stocked for cooking, relaxing and keeping warm; the bathroom is just across the driveway and is brand new with an excellent shower. All perfect for a restful visit to Shetland.

Our stay was great! The location is really convenient. We road the bus from the airport and walked to the location just fine. It’s right in the middle of downtown Lerwick with easy access to restaurants, shops, museums, and transportation. We had a lovely stay and would gladly come back!

Really nice home, with everything you need and things you didn't know you needed. Thank you for a great stay on an amazing island. We'd love to come back!
