We stayed in the Laird room . Had a tremendous view of the bay. The otter did show himself briefly, but did not hang around for the photo op. The bed was very comfortable but the perfume smell of the bedding was a little obnoxious. Learning to flush the toilet was a experience as well. The meals were supberb.Pierre was... More

We spent 5 days at Burrastow in April. This is a special place; very different from the run of the mill B & B/Guest House. The accommodation is stylish and well appointed. The dining room and lounge are in the old 1759 part of the building are atmospheric. The food is outstanding. Pierre Dupont who runs Burrastow is a fine... More

We stayed one night and had dinner this summer.Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and I would like to say the food was some of the best I have ever eaten.The children were made to feel welcome and slight adjustments to the menu posed no problem at all .They have a "house" seal that you can see in...

Stunning location, lovely building with lots of charm and character. We arrived on a beautiful summer afternoon in July and relaxed with a bottle of Chablis on the lawn watching the otters!, what more could you ask for?? Pierre is a superb chef and if you stay here dinner in is a must, follow this by a relaxing evening in... More

We stayed two nights at the Burrastow house while on a return trip to the Shetlands several weeks ago, and while it was a bit more in cost than what we usually spend on accommodations, we enjoyed our stay and wished we had the money to splurge and spend several more nights. The original Burrastow House is quite old, but... More

We stayed in the Laird's Room at Burrastow House for five nights on our honeymoon. It was a romantic location (the room looked out on the loch on two sides so you could watch the terns fishing and the odd seal go by) . The room was comfortable. The food was really excellent and as other reviewers have said you... More

Check out the different rooms on the Burrastow House website: we chose Foula Loft, recently furbished, spacious, clean and light, with a well designed bathroom. Only the sounds of the birds and the (very!) early dawn will wake you in this peaceful spot. Pierre's cooking is, as others have said, excellent - and it's rather relaxing not to have to... More

My wife and I stayed at Burrastow House for the nights of 16th. & 17th. May 2011. There is not much to add to the favourable postings already made. The quiet and peacful locatioin could not be bettered. The house is in the old but traditional lairds-house style. The owner, Pierre, and his staff are charming and helpful - plus... More
