Brekka Lodge
Brekka Lodge is a modern, high quality self catering property which was completed in August 2009. The property is set in a beautiful location with stunning views over the hamlets and bays of Fladdabister and Ocraquoy, the island of Bressay, Breiwick and the North Sea.
Activities on the doorstep include bird watching, loch and sea fishing and peaceful coastal and hill walks. Within 10 minutes on foot you’ll find amazing flora and fauna, geological delights, shingle beaches, ruins and much more - an explorer’s paradise! Walk just a little further and the village of Cunningsburgh has a shop, community hall, pier, marina and 2 knitwear shops. Jump in the car and within 10 minutes you can be in Lerwick or on a ferry to the island of Mousa (home to the finest surviving example of a 2,000 year old Iron Age broch).

A pebble beach just below Brekka Lodge is scattered with red and white calcite pebbles amongst the shingle, ideal for seal spotting. The lime kilns where limestone was crushed and burnt to make lime stand just below the property, well worth exploring. The coastline is excellent for rock pool play and is home to a multitude of wildlife. Killer whales are often sighted in the sound between the mainland and the island of Bressay. The burn has cut a deep gorge adjacent to the property which is a real haven for unusual wild flowers, ferns and shrubs and sheltering migrant birds.
