Brekka B&B Shetland

17/03/2026

An important note to all my past guests, or should I say friends; I will be removing my listing from the Airbnb platform at the end of this month.

Airbnb has been fantastic for me and I am using it regularly for travelling and will continue to do so.

I will be retaining my license and insurance for a wee while anyway (or perhaps longer!) so if you fancy a relaxing trip and another stay at our place, please get in touch. We may be off travelling but also we may be at home and can accommodate you. Just get in touch and I’ll get straight back to you. It would be fantastic to see you again.

I’m also hoping to start a Tour Guiding course in September so if you’re up here we may bump into each other!

Hope you’re all hale and hearty as we are here!

Has any other accommodation provider in Shetland had issues being paid for putting up their stranded passengers?

Papa Stour is one of Shetland’s most striking islands, with dramatic sea cliffs, caves, stacks and traces of its Norse past.

It’s reached by ferry, so forward-planning and booking is essential. For those who make the trip, it’s a place of unforgettable scenery and stories.

Mousa Broch in Shetland is the best-preserved Iron Age broch in existence, and you can step right inside it. It stands on the uninhabited isle of Mousa, where a circular walking trail takes you past Bronze Age burial mounds, a ruined Norse mill, and remains of crofting life, all set against beautiful coastal views.

Jarlshof, Shetland

The remains at Jarlshof represent thousands of years of human occupation, and can be seen as a microcosm of Shetland history. The site remained largely hidden until a storm in the late 19th century washed away part of the shore, and revealed evidence of these ancient buildings. Formal archaeological excavation started in 1925 and Bronze Age relics were soon discovered. Buildings on the site include the remains of a Bronze Age smithy, an Iron Age broch and roundhouses, a complex of Pictish wheelhouses, a Viking longhouse and a mediaeval farmhouse. No further excavations have been undertaken since the early 1950s and no radiocarbon dating has been attempted.

We would like to thank all our amazing followers for all your comments and likes and for following us so religiously. 🌟

We try to keep it real, the island sells it’s self, it’s so peaceful and special. This along with it’s archeology, history, geology, wildlife and gorgeous setting makes for a very special trip.

Anyway I’ll leave that there, the men on Mousa Boat don’t like too many frills on their posts 😉 just a good honest, friendly trip. 😂
