This is such a good place to stay if you are visiting the north of Unst. Pefect for all ages, party sizes and interests. Staff were excellent and the facilities very good. Restaurant food was fine, but the local brewery beer was not available during my staff, what a blow. My room was large and comfortable. More

They have dog friendly houses too :-) We went up the main building for a meal on the first night. Unfortunately the service wasn't great but the other waiter was brilliant and made up for... More

We stayed in one of the Nordabrake Self - Catering houses for a week. The good news: The place was perfectly clean, living room refurbished with quite new, nice & modern furniture. The pictures on the website are in my opinion a bit misleading. The house is quite spacious and light. I'd estimate the living room to 20 sqm. There's... More

If you are headed way way north inShetland, the Saxa Vord is excellent. We (4 of us) stayed in one of the old officers accomodation, and there is everything you want ... washing machine, three bedrooms, one full and one half bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen. lots to do in the area, especially in the Hermaness Nature Reserve.

My husband and I rented one of the Nordabrake self-catering houses for four nights in May at a very reasonable rate. The property could have slept five so even better value if there had been five of us. The carpets and towels were all very new, the property well heated and the beds comfortable. However, there were a few niggles.... More

We stayed at Saxa Vord as part of a large group on a Shetland Wildlife Safari. The location was fantastic with lovely views and the actual self catering accommodation was fantastic. We stayed in a house each with three bedrooms, lounge and dining area and fully equipped kitchen. A great base for a self catering holiday. We ate as a... More

We stayed at Saxa Vord as part of a group of 23 very special people, plus the very special guides we were privileged to be with. The resort offers fantastic accommodation with everything you could possibly hope for. We stayed in the Nordabrake Self Catering Holiday Houses which were very roomy and very comfortable. Although it may not be all... More
