Only thirty minutes from the bustle of Lerwick, Hill of Gairdins is set in peaceful countryside. The Scandinavian-style timber property features a spacious, light and airy living/dining area, well-equipped galley kitchen, three comfortable bedrooms and a bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower. There is unlimited Wi-fi and ample parking.

The surrounding area is full of stunning scenery and beautiful beaches. The Sand beach is a splendid sandy beach within easy walking distance that stretches along the bay below Hill of Gairdins. There are a number of other fine beaches nearby, including at Reawick, Westerwick and Culswick.

Another local attraction is Da Gairdins I Sand. Situated right next to the property, Da Gairdins I Sand is a wonderful woodland garden where thousands of trees and shrubs have been planted to attract wildlife. There are sheltered walks, picnic areas, wildflower meadows and wildlife ponds, creating a combination of garden and environmental spaces. Because of its proximity to the sea, and the salt marsh which lies between Da Gairdins and the sea, the area is a magnet to nesting and migrating birds. There has even been whimbrel nesting in the heather at Hill of Gairdins!
