Shalders is a fabulous 4 Star B&B situated in the south mainland of Shetland in the picturesque village of Levenwick. With magnificent sea views as far as Bressay and Noss to the north, the old croft-style house of Shalders has been extended and lovingly improved with modern facilities. It is approximately 12 miles from the airport at Sumburgh - Shetland's southerly tip, and 14 miles from the bustling capital town of Lerwick. Your hosts, Ann & Roy Longmuir, look forward to welcoming you into their home, where you will find a comfortable guest suite ready for your visit.
