Wendy United Kingdom

We received a warm welcome on arrival and that was how we were treated throughout. It was comfy, clean, well furnished & located and nothing was a hassle. We felt at home. The food was excellent - and in the words of other guests - worthy of any high class restaurant. We were travelling with my Mum (91) as this was her last holiday. She was made to feel special (she is) even with her idiosyncrasies.. Thank you so much for looking after as Robert & Leslie. You made our trip memorable.

Heather United Kingdom

A very warm welcomb, offered advice on places to visit. Also went out of their way, to offer food not on normal menu, nothing was too much trouble..

John United Kingdom

Great host, food an facilitates. They were very welcoming and accommodating of my early work time schedule. They were also always available by phone when my plans changed for dinner. Great bunch 10/10

James United Kingdom

Very friendly and accomodating staff. Breakfast and evening meals were very tasty and catered well for a vegetarian. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Brendan United Kingdom

Hosts extremely helpful with ideas, catering options for me being a vegetarian and lastminute e-bike rental idea too!

Nikul United Kingdom

Very warm, friendly welcome from Leslie and Robert who continued to be engaging and helpful during our four night stay. Breakfast was excellent and we ate there every night too. There’s very little in Brae itself but it’s a good centre for seeing the wild and wonderful north of Shetland.
