Overlooking the shore of Busta Voe, on mainland Shetland, Busta House is a lovely old building with en suite bedrooms, large garden and superb local food.

This was my second stay here. Loved it the first time, loved it the second time. The food is exceptionally good, the staff is excellent, and the whole place feels warm and inviting. It was close to Esha Ness, and it also had trees and beautiful grounds.

As far as my wife and d I are concerned this hotel deserves an exceptional rating solely because of the efforts of Scott and Curtis who run the kitchen, restaurant and bar for sure at breakfast and dinner and I assume lunch although we never ate lunch at the hotel. We stayed 4 nights and these two gentleman made us feel respected , welcome and well cared for. They are the heart of the hotel’s customer service.
The front desk personnel were also friendly and welcoming and we were allowed to check-in very early after arriving on the morning ferry.
In the heart of Shetland, St Magnus Bay Hotel is set in beautiful, tranquil surroundings. It was once frequented by W. H. Auden and Christopher Isherwood, the poet and playwright.

The staff was wonderful - courteous, friendly, kind and super helpful whenever we needed anything. They seemed to make every effort to be sure that their guests are well taken care of and have an enjoyable stay. Our room was spotlessly clean and our bed was extremely comfortable. Housekeeping was attentive as well. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. The restaurant was also excellent, with attentive service and delicious food. The location is in a gorgeous and magical part of Shetland. I look forward to returning on our next trip to Shetland!

The food was fantastic. Great alternative to eating out all the time. We ate breakfasts and suppers at the hotel, and ate our lunches in Lerwick.

Great access to Muckle Roe, must see destination; lovely home cooking with farm fresh ingrediends (the lamb is a must); generous size, renovated room with modern bathroom; reliable regular bus service to other places in Shetland for those with backpacks, the isolation from town is a bonus, so relaxing; helpful and friendly service

A nice clean hotel situated on the waterside.
A nice clean hotel situated on the waterside. Very good staff who operated well under covid restrictions. The food was good and we enjoyed all our meals. Not gourmet food but good. Excellent selection of whiskies to try and a well balanced wine list.

I liked the location of the hotel and the staff were all very helpful and friendly.
The hotel had just had new boilers fitted so it was very warm and stifling in the bedroom.
The dining room could benefit from more lighting as it was quite dark

The hotel its self does need a little TLC but that didn't take away the good time we had there. As I've said before I would gladly recommend it although now I have thought about it there is no lift to the rooms which are upstairs, I think that would be the only down side for any one who had mobility problems. The hotel is well used by the locals which says a lot when the locals eat out there too.
Busta house is a lovely building, historic, quirky and well presented. We’d had a strange introduction to Shetland Hotels with our previous hotel in Lerwick but Busta House more than made up for it. This was achieved by the constant good humour, charm and efficiency of all the staff we met. They even managed to fulfil a busy Friday night service with aplomb.
Our dog was made welcome and enjoyed snoofling about the garden and snoozing in the lovely bedroom.
The service and staff, especially Bradley (!) was exceptional. it was a beautiful, historical property, conveniently located to do day trips around the whole of Shetland. The food was great: the breakfast selection was very good: varied, fresh, and generous portions. The bar menu was top notch.
Very friendly and accommodating staff.
The hotel offers what you would expect from a 16th century building with lots of history, whisky and a warm and cosy atmosphere.
Great breakfast and dinner menu to suit all tastes.
Close to Lerwick & Ideal for Visiting both Muckle Roe and Northmavine.
The hotel was perfectly situated for us to explore Shetland. The staff were welcoming, the food was excellent and there was a choice of over 230 whiskies! We had a wonderful stay and can thoroughly recommend Busta House hotel as a place to stay.
The setting was beautiful. A lovely country house hotel. Rooms have been refurbished with excellent bathrooms and furnishings. Extremely comfortable beds. Lovely restaurant with wonderful local dishes. Very friendly and helpful staff.
This hotel was lovely. The service was fantastic, friendly, and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good. Breakfast the next morning was also great! Also the bathtub was enormous!
It’s a lovely country house hotel in a beautiful setting in Brae. The staff could not do enough for their guests.
The Long Room is a very comfortable lounge for pre and post dinner drinks.
