The accommodation was great & the landlords were really very friendly and tried very hard! In addition, the accommodation is dog-friendly, so not only we, but also our dog had a great time :) Thank you for the great stay! We'd love to come back :) Greetings Alina & Aaron with dog Hilda

Romantic ambience, pretty surroundings. You can go for walks directly from the palace complex — ideal for dog owners. Count and Countess Waldburg are very friendly and hard-working. In the immediate vicinity is a very well-run village shop with everything you need, and the wonderful Gasthof Krone Schenke with very good service and the finest food! Recommended!

We spent a few wonderful, very relaxing days in the castle cottage. Great ambience, a moated castle to fall in love with. Quiet environment very nice for hiking. A great village shop, butcher and village tavern where you can eat very well in the immediate vicinity. Very nice hosts. Our dogs also felt very comfortable. Thank you very much we would love to come back

Clickimin Broch

The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
