Craigielea is a beautifully renovated Victorian villa located in the heart of Lerwick on St. Olaf Street. This maisonette has its own entrance and is the perfect balance of modern, bright and airy interior housed within a period building. We have tried to furnish the property with all modern conveniences to make your trip as comfortable and relaxing as possible. Fibre 2 fast WIFI ensures the apartment meets all needs for both woking from the apartment or enjoying cosy nights in front of the large smart TV. We strive to draw on our extensive travel experience to make the apartment as we hope to find our holiday accommodations and are forever adding bits. The bedroom can be configured as a Super King or split to form 2 x Large Singles. The studio living area can also be utilised with use of the double sofa bed (additional persons fee) to make the apartment sleep 4. All bedding supplied for this tucks neatly away underneath to make the space useable during the daytime.
Craigielea is very central, walking distance of lovely coastal walks, a few minutes walk from the Street and all pubs, resteraunts etc. The Islesburgh Community Centre is a few minutes away and the Mareel music centre a short ten minutes walk.
