Gord

Fetlar, “The Garden of Shetland”, is one of the Northern Isles but very accessible with up to eight daily return ferries in the Summer – it is an easy day trip from the Mainland.

Gord Guest House is the only guest house on Fetlar at Houbie, in the centre of the island. As in the shop and café, we use fresh, local produce wherever possible including beef, lamb, mutton and pork produced on our farm.  We also currently have two self-catering holiday properties available, a one bedroomed chalet at Aithness and a four bedroomed croft house at Tresta, overlooking Tresta Wick, which can be configured as a three bedroomed house with a one bedroomed annexe. We are happy to supply meals to those self-catering, either delivered to the house or to eat at Gord Guest House.

At the shop and café we are open seven days a week through the Summer (five days a week in the Winter). We re-stock once a week and are happy to take orders on a Monday which will be available in the shop on Wednesday. In the café we serve homemade soup, hot and cold filled rolls, homebakes and coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cold drinks throughout the year.

Our farm has a herd of over 30 breeding cows (a mixture of Shetlands, Highlands, Beef Shorthorn and Galloways) and around 600 breeding sheep (a mixture of Shetlands, Suffolks and Blackfaces). We also have three pigs: Iron Age, Gloucester old spot cross and Saddleback cross sows.
