The cottage, with excellent sea views, sits on a working farm rearing pure Shetland sheep and Beef cattle. There is a small marshland loch which is overlooked by one of the upstairs bedrooms where many birds nest. Shetland ponies, otters, seals and hares are some of the wildlife seen in this area. Aesthus is only about 6 miles from Lunna House, well worth a visit and which played a major part in "The Shetland Bus". Also we have "The Cabin", a small museum, mostly of military memrabelia, on the road to Vidlin.
Aesthus is fully furnished and equipped with bedding, sheets, towels, crockery and cutlery for six people. Heating is by oil fueled central heating which also provides hot water - the charge for this is included in the rent. Cooking is by electricity. There is also an electric fire in the living room. Sole use of the drying green and garden, which is suitable for children, there is also ample parking space.
About half an hour's drive from Lerwick brings you to this lovely cottage, only 2 miles from our excellent local shop. Also convenient for ferries to Whalsay, Out Skerries and the northern isles of Shetland.
