Busta House

Frommer's Review

Busta House is the oldest continuously inhabited house in the Shetlands. Built in 1580, it was the original busta (homestead) of the medieval Norwegian rulers of the island. Rising above its own small harbor a short drive from A970, a 10-minute drive south of the village of Sullom, and 2.5km (1 1/2 miles) from Brae, the hotel has crow's-foot gables, stone walls measuring 2m (6 ft.) thick, and an appearance of a fortified manor house. The proprietors maintain the antique charm of the public rooms and the chintz-filled guest rooms, and prepare upscale dinners as well.
