Positive: Location was superb, plenty of kitchen utensils, warm and cosy. Very comfy.
Negative: Could have an en suite. Inside door handles stiff to turn. Everything else was top quality.
·Richard·September 2025
Overall, amazing. Shetland never disappoints and Dunard certainly didn't.
Positive: The view is amazing. The cottage is clean and quiet, perfect for a quiet getaway and as a base to explore the South Mainland including Jarlshof, Sumburgh, Mousa, Fitful Head, Quendale Mill, Scousborough Sands, Spiggie Loch RSPB Reserve.
Negative: Would be nice if there was a way to turn off the lights outside the house at night in order to enjoy the (rare) total darkness in Shetland.

Dunard is a fabulous place to stay and an ideal base for exploring the Isles.
Positive: Location was stunning. Easy to find and good base for everything.
Negative: Cannot think of any improvements

Enjoyed location (St Ninians) and Shetland.
Positive: The location
Negative: Very comfortable, didn’t spoil the overall rating but did miss mirrors in the main bedrooms

Lovely, lovely stay
Positive: We liked pretty much everything. We had almost everything we needed and the mattresses in the bedrooms were so lovely I'd like to ask the owners where they got them from! The location was spectacular with amazing views from the cottage. Spacious inside with ample parking space out the front. It was good value for money, we would definitely stay there again and I would recommend Dunard to anyone.
Negative: It's not so much a case of what we didn't like and I am nitpicking. A masher in the kitchen would have been great and I think one or two of the cushions on the main sofa need changing. In the case of our stay, a fan would have been great as it was difficult to leave windows/doors open with the midgies. The owners do act on feedback from guests so I have no doubt these small things will be resolved.
