Luxury Self Catering Accommodation in the Shetland Isles

Welcome to lerwickselfcatering.com, where you can learn about our two family-run self-catering flats in Lerwick, Shetland. Both properties were previously our family homes: as our families grew, we moved. In the case of 59 King Harald Street, Kenny & Violet moved upstairs!

In this site, we have tried to provide you with an insight to our accommodation and an overview of the things to do and the sites you can see during a stay in Shetland. If you have any questions at all, please do contact us and we'll do our best to help.

We hope you enjoy this site, and we look forward to seeing you in Shetland sometime soon.
