Muckle Roe Chapel is a beautiful home-from-home located on the tranquil island of Muckle Roe in the Shetland Islands, offering the perfect escape from the everyday. Originally built in 1911 as a chapel for the local community, it was lovingly renovated and extended in 2014 to create a luxurious rural retreat with breathtaking seaside views. This unique three-bedroom self-catering property sits on the island’s east coast, just three miles from the town of Brae and accessed via a bridge. Set back from the public road, it enjoys peace and privacy, with panoramic views over Busta Voe and the surrounding landscape.

The interior combines modern comfort and timeless charm, featuring underfloor heating throughout. The entrance leads through a glazed porch with coat hooks and a wall-mounted pew bench reclaimed from the original chapel. The old vestry door opens into a utility area with a washing machine, separate dryer and access to a rotary line outside. From the porch, you enter the open-plan living space, where a high ceiling and large windows fill the area with natural light and frame stunning sea views. The kitchen is fully equipped with an induction hob, oven, microwave combination oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, along with all necessary utensils and crockery. The dining table seats six comfortably, with options for extension and child seating. The adjoining lounge features a wood-burning stove, full-height windows overlooking the water and a wall-mounted TV with Freeview and DVD player. Guests can also enjoy a selection of books, games, DVDs and toys. Above the lounge, a cosy mezzanine, accessed by a fold-away ladder, provides a fun hideaway with bean bags and a Velux window offering westward views.

The old chapel section houses three inviting bedrooms that sleep up to seven guests. The master bedroom features a king-size bed, ample storage and an ensuite shower room with beautiful views. Bedroom one includes a double bed and generous storage, while bedroom two is ideal for families, offering a double bunk bed and an additional elevated single bunk with a removable ladder. The main bathroom includes a full-size bath with a mains shower and glazed screen. All bed linen and towels are 100% cotton and locally made Shetland Soap Company toiletries are provided for an extra touch of comfort.
