Drumquin Guest House

Lovely B and B. Would thoroughly recommend. Stayed October 2021 for 5 nights and loved it. Very convenient for sightseeing and plenty of local amenities. Good choice for breakfast. Evening meals are also available. We ate in the b&b most evenings as the quality of the food was excellent.

We were thoroughly looking forward to our first holiday in Shetland, and we were not disappointed. We had booked into the Drumquin Guest House at Brae a former Victorian Schoolhouse roughly 25 minutes drive from Lerwick and it was an excellent choice. We received a warm welcome from Leslie one of the owners and he took the time to explain the service they provide and showed us to our room. Our room was very comfortable, excellent shower so powerful , nice selection tea, coffee, biscuits, hairdryer, tv, toiletries and Wi-Fi, Iron and Ironing board available if required. Breakfast was pre ordered the night before which suited us perfectly and their was a lovely choice, something for everyone, be warned the traditional breakfast is excellent but huge so not for the faint hearted. The evening menu was first class , serving a superb selection of dishes and I can thoroughly recommend the Sticky Toffee pudding, being a Licensed establishment you can choose from a wide selection of Alcoholic beverages. Robert and Leslie took the time and effort to get to know their clients and provided useful information about the island and places of interest to visit. We had such a lovely time at Drumquin, and would have no hesitation in recommending staying here, your hosts, the food and location all make for a fabulous vacation.

From the moment we appeared at the door of Drumquin my girlfriend and I were afforded the warmest of welcomes by Leslie and Robert. Arriving by bike after a tiring day we were delighted to find our room was immaculate, cosy and with truly the most powerful shower ever experienced. Over the next few days we used Drumquin as a base from which to explore nearby Muckle Roe, as well as Yell, Unst, Northmavine and the Northern Mainland, for which it is perfectly located. The breakfast menu was both varied and substantial and we also ate dinner one night; a great decision as again the quality and quantity were excellent from an interesting menu of mostly local produce. Over and above this, our hosts went the extra yard at every opportunity to help make our visit a pleasant and stress-free one and we enjoyed chatting with them in passing and hearing their advice on the local area and useful contacts to enhance our holiday. Couldn't recommend this place highly enough.
