Friendly and efficient service and good range of no nonsense and very reasonably priced lunch time pub food in a big old 4 storey 'Country House ' hotel) set in its own grounds near Brae I had delicious lentil soup, followed by a large portion of equally delicious steak ale pie, chips and veg and the other members of group were also very impressed with all their choices. The hotel looks like a fun place to stay.

The oldest continuously inhabited house in Shetland provides the setting for a fascinating hotel full of charm, character and history in every nook and cranny. With a wonderful aspect overlooking a tranquil bay, it is an ideal base to explore this stunning part of the world. Every single member of the staff were so welcoming and friendly, they really couldn’t have done any more to help make our stay such a pleasant one.

If you want tranquility, lovely scenery and a truly warm, friendly welcome everyone in situ then staying here is a must. We had to leave early because of an impending storm front. If we weren’t meeting family on the mainland we would have been more than happy to ride out the storm here in front of an open fire whilst working our way through their extensive malt whisky collection. Many thanks to all involved with the hotel and we are planning to return

We stayed at Busta House for three nights and couldn't fault it. All the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We ate each night in the restaurant and the food was lovely...I have to say the lamb was some of the best I've ever had. Breakfast was plentiful and varied with everything we could want to set us up for the day. Oh and the whiskey...what a perfect way to end a day out in the long room with a fire going and a glass in our hand. Will definitely be back if we come to the area again. Thank you.

What a perfect example of hospitality! We walked in hoping for a bar meal, but hadn't booked. The staff were welcoming, warm and professional and we got a table straight away. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. We had the pickled hering as a starter to share and it was delicous. Our main courses were superb too. The steak was perfectly cooked, full of flavour and well seasoned. The peppercorn sauce was gorgeous. The herb breaded whiting was juicy and delicious. We enjoyed the free choice of sides to go with our meal. All in all, a great dinner for a very reasonable price. Hotel owners should send their staff here for training to learn from this amazing team.

We had dinner there one night. This was consolation for not being able to book a room because they were full. We understand why. The hotel is charmingly old and cozy, with a splendid lounge and several rooms serving as the dining room. Service was fabulously attentive and helpful. My girlfriend started with house smoked gravlax and then chicken pieces in hoisin sauce with rice and veggies. I started with a combination plate with their mackerel pate and Atlantic pink prawns in sauce, followed by lamb pieces in a honey and whole grain mustard sauce. We shared sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. We had excellent wines. The food was superb. The bill was extremely reasonable, reflective of thei...

We are local and wanted an overnight getaway. Busta never disappoints! Great walks around the area and gardens to enjoy before heading into the long room for a drink or two before dinner. All the rooms have been tastefully redecorated to a nice standard. Dinner is a relaxing affair, with great wait staff! The menu doesn’t change much, but that’s not a bad thing, as their dinners are great and never disappoint! Best steak you will get in Shetland by far! The wine list is decent from around the world at great prices. If you know your wine, you don’t need to spend a fortune for a nice bottle if on a budget! I was surprised to find a bottle of Don Pérignon on the list 2012 at a reasonable price,...
