Hayhoull

About

In Shetland, Hayhoull is a local business. Hayhoull is a guest house at Bigton, Hayhoull ZE2 9JA, United Kingdom, set in the south of the islands. First-time visitors should expect a small guest house with a host on hand, not a large hotel with a reception desk and a lift. Guests have given Hayhoull 5 out of 5 across 29 reviews, which places it among the highest-scoring guest houses on the islands.

The house sits at Bigton, within reach of Lerwick and Scalloway, so a hire car gets visitors there from the main town without a long drive. Two photos are on the listing for anyone who wants a look before booking. The website at http://www.hayhoull.co.uk/ carries the booking details.

Shetland is a British island group, and British islands have mild, wet and changeable weather, warmed by the Gulf Stream and often windy. Strong tides surround British islands, and the Channel Islands have some of the world's largest tidal ranges, a reminder of how much the sea shapes island life. Smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés, so self-catering and picnic supplies are easy to find. English is the everyday language across the British islands, which makes travelling around straightforward for most visitors.

Bigton sits south of Lerwick, and the road down from the main town passes through Scalloway, so the drive is simple to follow. Brae, Yell, Unst, Whalsay and Bressay lie further out, giving guests a reason to use Hayhoull as a base for the wider islands. A stay at Bigton keeps the main town within reach while placing visitors close to the southern coast.
