Graeme, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Accommodation was very clean and comfortable and location was very handy for ferry terminal. Only slight issue was layout of the bedroom; sloping roof and wall lights made it more awkward to get past bed to get to bathroom during the night. Food was amazing particularly the seafood platter. Good choices for breakfast too.

Lovely Stay

We stayed overnight before going to Hoy. The welcome was excellent and warm and our room was lovely- the whole place was spotlessly clean. Eating in is an excellent option; we did and I would highly recommend!!!

Bright, modern B&B with modern rooms. Ours was filled with natural light owing to skylights and had a comfortable bed and contemporary decor. The restaurant was excellent and specialises in high quality and excellently cooked seafood dishes. Breakfast was great too!

Lovely hotel but room on the tight side

Lovely hotel the room was very small nowhere to put anything and very tight but staff were very friendly and helpful and dinner on the evening was delicious

Gina & Suzanne were friendly and helpful
Kohila, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel check in was quick and easy. No elevator though. The staff was excellent especially the two young men in the restaurant. They were excellent in every way. Book this hotel early they fill up quick with bus tours. There is a few restaurants nearby if you want a change but Brae Hotel dinner menu changes daily. They also worked with my wife's food allergy.
Philip, 1-night trip

Exemplary staff and manager

Beyond expectations in hospitality. We had a tasty meal in the bar with locals filling us in on island lore. The staff was beyond friendly. As a team, they helped rescue my laptop, left on a local bus, by asking a friend to chase the bus down by car…a brilliant rescue.
Mary Susan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A real treasure of a find. Host was so welcoming and genuinely helpful. They went above and beyond to accomodate us and our doggy. Really doggy friendly. Gave us ideas, hints and low-downs! The seafood was divine: freshly caught and cooked beautifully. If you get the opportunity, share a seafood platter with another in your party. What an experience! We don't go back to revisit places as a rule but we would definitely come back here.
