This charming Victorian cottage, built around 1860 by Lerwick merchant Robert Sinclair, offers comfortable accommodation in a quiet, residential and very central location in Lerwick.  Situated in a secluded lane, the cottage can sleep up to 6 people.  All furnishings are new for 2016.  Our two bedrooms have been set up to provide family accommodation or accommodation for groups: the larger room has a double and single bed, the smaller one, two single beds.  Both bedrooms are fitted with blackout blinds. Downstairs we offer a sofa bed which could comfortably sleep one adult or two children (if required).  Parking is usually available on the street immediately behind the cottage.

Hansel Cottage retains much of its original charm and character but has all the modern conveniences you will need, including free Wifi and a 32” smart TV.  All the rooms are surprisingly spacious. The kitchen is equipped to a high standard with all new appliances.  We provide a small welcome pack of local bread, eggs, oatcakes etc*, sourced from Scoop Wholefoods. There is a bathroom upstairs with an electric shower over the bath and an additional walk in shower room downstairs with a mains shower.  We provide complimentary toiletries sourced from The Shetland Soap Company.  Heating is provided by electric storage heating and a multi-fuel stove.  We provide a small supply of logs and peats for your use.   What better than relaxing in front of a real fire after a busy day out?  The public rooms have exposed wooden floors and small windows set in thick walls, giving a snug feel.   There is a small south/west facing private garden with outdoor furniture, a portable barbecue and a clothes line.  There is also a shed where you can store bikes.
