Directions

From Lerwick travel to Scalloway. At the bottom of the Scalloway Scord at the head of the voe turn left onto the B9074 (signed posted East Voe/Trondra/Burra). This dual carriageway continues through Trondra and onto Burra.
Once on Burra there is a junction at the top of an incline, turn left here (sign posted Papil/Houss/ Bridge End). This road turns into a single-track road with passing places. Travel along for some distance until you get to the war memorial and turn right.
The road continues south and just over a rise (sea views across a stony foreshore) the Property is on the right. If you get to the junction leading to Marina’s Kitchen Cabinet/The Shetland Pony Experience or Minn you have gone too far.
