What a fantastic stay! Hotel is in a great location, rooms are extremely comfortable and reasonably priced! Meals are locally sourced and super tasty! Staff are great but the star of the show was a chap called Scott! His service was impeccable! So polite, always smiling and so handsome! A true gentleman.! A fantastic breakfast chef ( makes delicious scrambled eggs!!) breakfast was a great atmosphere listening to him singing away, what a voice!! , a real home from home! His service in the restaurant in the evenings was just the same, being so kind and attentive to everybody no matter how busy he was. And then to see him throughout the day attending to guests, cleaning, even weeding the hotel grounds! A fantastic all rounder and a true credit to the hotel. I will definitely be returning to the Brae hotel! A real hidden gem! Well done Scott and Curtis

    Great location! Clean and welcoming. Decorated in a pleasing eclectic style- there was always something catching your eye to look at. Great staff- enjoyable to chat with, and I was under the impression that staff have been at GO for a while, so I assume they are treated well as employees. Loved the room- a great view, quiet, comfortable, and a well stocked tea tray & kettle. Would stay at GO again, no question!

    This was a great place to explore Shetland from.

    This was a great place to explore Shetland from. But important to have a hire car, to get to all the different sights, and booking restaurants in advance is important, even if it's just for the following night, although the takeaways were a great backup.

    Scalloway is a great wee place. Stunning views and excellent coffee shops. Had breakfast in cafe - so helpful and lush food. The shop, chemist, and cafe, views over the harbour and people friendly. Definitely worth visiting.

    i was quite shocked at how little shops and restaurants were on the island, we did go on the 28th December until 2nd January and the majority of the shops in Lerwick (the capital of Shetlands) were closed until 6th January, there were very limited restaurants open, so cooked at home in the lovely rental property that we had. There were 2 pubs (but not what you would expect as pubs) in Brae and a CO-OP and a leisure centre, thankfully the CO-OP was open all the time, and there was a Chinese take away that was open and a fish and chip shop that was closed. The pace of life is slow, if you don't mind cooking for yourself, its a great place to go, if you like eating out, then its 23 minute drive to Lerwick........but remember Scotland has a ZERO TOLERANCE to drink driving, so NO ALCOHOL and driving what's so ever, so you always need a nominated driver or Taxi, which would be tricky i would expect. Overal a nice chilled out trip, although if the property wasn't as good as it was, you could be counting down the days in the winter months

    A lovely base for some bracing walks around the lochs & voes with a excellent choice of buses too taking one to Lerwick & south to Sumburgh or North to the Northern Isles or the wonderful windswept wilderness of Eshaness, home to moonwalking Shetland ponies. You’ll have to ask your cab driver about that!

    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

    The hotel is in North Maven, the most northerly and wildest part of the mainland of Shetland but, as the island is relatively small, easy to reach from either Lerwick or Sumburgh Airport. Main roads in Shetland are of a high standard and the single track roads to more remote parts add to the excitement! Impressive sights include Mavis Grind, where, it is said, a stone can be thrown from the North Sea to the Atlantic. The rugged cliffs of Eshaness and must be wonderful in wild weather and do'nt miss the chance ot visit North Roe and Sand Voe

    Absolute peace and quiet.

    Absolute peace and quiet. But it's different to the mainland in that you need transport to reach the shops etc. Sandwick is ideal for walking or going on the ferry to Mousa. There is a small visitor centre that tells you quite a bit about the history of the area.

    Its lovely little village, about 10 miles from Lerwick. It has lots of walking paths and great view of the ocean. Close to lovely beach with white sand. There is a little shop not far away from property. Very friendly neighbourhood.

    Lot of small businesses have closed. Still interesting! Quirky shops not found elsewhere. Nice eateries. Harbour area interesting. Da Lodberries iconic . Many parts identifiable from Shetland TV series. Great textile museum featuring amazing skills of knitters. Main museum remarkable given its size. Mareel has good films.

    Shetland Islands in four days was not enough (especially as one day was very wet and we couldn't do much). Scalloway is a great base: easy to travel into Lerwick and to all parts of Mainland Shetland.
