Hello there. It sounds like a really interesting business, and I hope you do well in Shetland.

Shetland is relatively pricey for accommodation so you might have to look for somewhere outside Lerwick for something of the size you need in that price range. But compared to the much of mainland UK, the commute tends to be short and scenic! 

There are properties listed here https://www.njord.market/accommodation/1 and you can post wanted ads. I believe there are Facebook pages for local accommodation too (but I don't use FB so can't provide a link)

My parents live there, so I will ask them if I don't forget and answer a bit later. I think it s a great business idea you've got. I'm also here to ask something. Is this business bringing a good income?

Can you state it I successful? I've been looking for business ideas lately, and I think it is not that hard to arrange the same thing; moreover, I've got an unfurnished property in my town I know I could rent. I'm searching for ideas on sites like https://www.successionresource.com  and have a few already, but yours is not bad. So please, share more details about it; I would appreciate it a lot

Exciting times ahead with the move to Shetland! When we moved to a new area, I found local Facebook groups really helpful for finding rentals. Also, reaching out to real estate agents who know the area can be a good move. They might have leads on places that aren't listed online yet.

I’d suggest checking local rental websites and connecting with real estate agents in Shetland. Also, posting in local community groups or on social media can be helpful. Since you have furniture, focusing on unfurnished properties should make things easier.

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to share a few tips. Finding a rental property in Shetland for your family business sounds like an exciting project! When my family was looking for a place, we used a system like (**mod edit - link removed **) to keep track of potential properties and manage communications with landlords.

Just saw your post from a while back, and it sounds like you’ve got quite the plan for Shetland. I went through a similar move a few years ago, and it was a bit of a hassle. Finding a rental that was unfurnished and allowed pets was tough. Local listings can be hit or miss, so it might be worth reaching out in community groups or checking classified ads. Also, I found acupower.co.uk to be pretty helpful for getting my business organized; it made handling bookings and events way smoother.
