We stayed for three nights and it was a great experience. The owners are very friendly and always available for questions and tips. They really make you feel looked after. We wanted to go on a boat trip to Noss while staying there and the tour boat leaves from Lerwick. However, they knew the tour operator and arranged for us... More

The setting is beautiful, the rooms are gorgeous and really well appointed. The owners are friendly. The food is sublime. I loved the spa, especially the jacuzzi. It was a perfect weekend getaway. The only disappointment was the girl that did my massage the last time I was there (when it was fairly new) wasn't there any more. The treatment... More

Positives : - Friendly couple running the place. Clearly keen to do all they can to make you feel looked after - excellent food. You must dine in. We stayed two weeks in Shetland and ate all over. Our two meals here were the best we had (although overall we were somewhat disappointed by the range of restaurants in Shetland).... More

Six of us (three couples) had an overnight at NLHS on a windy February night. It was truly excellent. We enjoyed the short ferry ride from town and were met by Paul, (the Mr in this Mr & Mrs owned Spa) who took our party up to the Spa from the ferry terminal. He was very polite and punctual, and...

This small spa is beautiful and set in a stunning location. The food was delicious and original, and the hot stone massage (£35) superb and excellent value. The 270 degree view from our gorgeous spotless bedroom was outstanding. There is no view from the spa suite itself, but there is a sheltered outdoor courtyard area with seating from which you...

I spent over a week at the Northern Lights Holistic Spa and was really sad to leave. I went to Shetland to work and came away feeling refreshed, relaxed... More
