and stay at its iconic South Lighthouse. Where, on a dramatic rocky peninsula - surrounded by sea and sky, you can unwind as you experience the comfortable accommodation, the excellent food and the warm hospitality of this remote landmark.

For more than a century the lighthouse has withstood the onslaught of ferocious Atlantic storms and even air raids - yet it remains a bright, peaceful haven; the perfect base from which to explore fabulous Fair Isle.

  • Experience a friendly welcome with lashings of good, home cooked food - much of which is locally produced and sourced.

  • Discover the fascination and quiet beauty of Britain's remotest inhabited island from within, as a part of its vibrant community.

  • High speed satellite broadband available for use by guests and excellent mobile phone reception.

  • Fair Isle is the most unspoilt part of the Shetland Isles,  recently voted by Lonely Planet as one of the Top 10 places to visit - in the world!

  • Fair Isle itself is No. 5 in the National Geographic list of the world's best islands

 WE REGRET WE CANNOT ACCEPT PAYMENT BY DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD*

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ THIS NEXT BIT !

Fair Isle enjoys many 21st Century comforts but it is still genuinely remote; weather here changes rapidly and at any time, even in summer, the island may be cut off for a day or two - without transport in or out! Therefore

  1. Travellers with advance purchase tickets valid for a specific journey should allow for delays.   

  2. People intending to explore Shetland should visit Fair Isle early in their holiday.

  3. You may wish to consider travel insurance. 

  4. Allow yourself plenty of time - and don't be tempted to cram too much into one trip.

The Good Shepherd and DirectFlight only charge for journeys undertaken and will carry you on their next available service.

We do not charge guests for the nights they have been unable to reach the island due to bad weather but extra nights stayed will be charged at the standard rate.

Mobile (cell phone) reception at the lighthouse is good but only the O2 and Vodaphone networks are available on Fair Isle.

We regret that due to the remote nature of the island we cannot normally accept dogs.

*We accept cash, UK cheques or credit transfer
