Rocklea Villa sleeps 8

It is situated on the west side of the Shetland mainland in the picturesque village of Walls.

 Welcome to Rocklea Villa, situated on the west side of the Shetland mainland in the picturesque village of Walls. Built by a local merchant in 1886, the accommodation overlooks a small marina with the island of Vaila beyond. Seals and otters can often be seen playing along the waterfront and you may spot the local fishermen landing their catch on a calm summer evening. Walls is an ideal location for some well earned rest and relaxation, but there is plenty to see and do in the area if you wish. Local amenities include the village shop and post office, bakery and cafe, all just a 2 minute walk away. Burrastow House, for fine dining, is a 5 minute drive. There are many fine walks throughout the area and the Aith Leisure Centre is an easy drive. If you are interested in trout fishing, there are a number of lochs in the vicinity. We are sure you will enjoy the tranquility of this small, friendly village but if you are missing the hustle and bustle of town life, Lerwick is only a half an hour drive away. 

Rocklea Villa can comfortably sleep 8 people, in 3 double rooms and 1 twin room.
The house is electrically heated throughout, with a cosy peat burning fire in the livingroom.
The fully fitted kitchen includes fridge, hob and oven, kettle, toaster and all necessary cooking utensils and crockery. For laundry purposes, there is a washing machine, outdoor clothes line and indoor clothes airer. An iron and ironing board are provided.
There is both a 2 seater and 3 seater sofa in the sitting room.
A tv is provided on which you can watch dvds - you'll find a selection on the shelves, alongside a wide range of books if you prefer.
The bathroom on the first floor has a bath with over bath shower, heated towel rail and illuminated mirror. Towels are supplied.
Each of the four bedrooms on the first and second floor contains a chest of drawers for storage. All beds will be fully made up and ready for you on your arrival.
There is an extensive back garden which you are welcome to use. This is a great place to enjoy a coffee/glass of wine during our long summer evenings, or to watch the merry dancers (northern lights) in the winter. A small kettle bbq is also available for guest use. There is parking for 2 cars.
