“Spot on!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

This is a wonderful place to stay - the room was large, well furnished and very comfortable. The view was spectacular, food fabulous and service second to none. We chose to 'stay in' for dinner every night - the food was irrestistable and with a different 'proper pudding with custard' on offer every night my husband was in heaven! The breakfast menu was impressive and we particularly enjoyed the smoked haddock & poached egg not to mention the Abbot's Brae Brose which was nearly as warming as the welcome & care given to us throughout our stay! We'll be back!

Room Tip: Pay the extra for a sea view.

“an outstanding experience...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 13, 2013

Abbot's Brae under the hand of Christine & Colin is definitely one of the best hotels I've ever been. Located in quiet and peaceful landscape with a closed to perfect friendly service.... When ever I'll be around there again, Abbot's Brae is my hotel of choice....

“Lynda & Paul”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

If your looking for a first class hotel with great food this is the place to stay. Our first floor room was extreamly spacious and comfortable with a large ensuite bathroom. From the window there are fantistic views across the bay which are ever changing with the moods of the weather.
Christine and Collin are fantastic hosts and made us feel very welcome from the moment we entered. We dined one night in the hotel and the food and service was first class, we had drinks in the lounge before our meal and Christine was very helpfull in guiding me through there extensive collection of whiskys.They have a great knowledge of the area and are happy to recommended some great places to visit or some good restaurants for an evening meal. They even returned my phone charger which I foolishly left in my bedroom. Highly recommended and we will definately use this hotel the next time we visit the area

“Hidden Gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

This was our second stay at Christine & Colin's fantastic hotel. They arranged and hosted our son and daughter-in-law's wedding 2 years ago and nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing - I'm sure Colin should be awarded a Michelin Star !!! They made everyone feel part of the family and it was like staying with friends. We got the same fantastic friendly greeting on this visit. The room was of the highest standard and the breakfast was the best "full Scottish" in the world !! We highly recommend this hotel for excellence on every level. Look forward to our next visit to the Brae.

Room Tip: A sea view room, if available, has an amazing panoramic view which has to be seen to be believed.

“I could not recommend highly enough”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

We went here for my girlfriends 30th birthday we were looking for a nice informal place on the coast that was not that far from our home in Stirling.

When booking the hotel I was offered many additions to make our stay as romantic as possible. This included flowers and chocolates being in our room on arrival which was a nice touch. When we arrived were greeted warmly by Colin, one of the owners, he introduced himself and showed us around the hotel and our room. We instantly felt at home as we were on first name terms with all the staff and felt that nothing would be a hassle if we were to ask them.

The room itself was huge with a four poster bed, two seating areas and an amazing view looking out on the beach and water. The bathroom was again huge and had both a shower and a bath big enough for two. Warm and comfortable the room was more than adequate for the two of us to survive in the highest luxury for our two night stay.

Breakfast the following day was of great entertainment as almost on cue a squadron of red squirrels began feasting on the nuts laid out by the staff. Always nice to have something to look at while we ate! This was all set against the beautiful backdrop that I mentioned earlier. We only dined one night in the hotel and the food was lovely and we were waited on most attentively, having drinks in the lounge beforehand and only being called to the table when our food was ready.

All in all we had a great time here and most memorable for many different reasons, great fun had by all and in no a small part due to the fabulous staff and the service they provided. It was a bit of a luxury but worth it to celebrate a special event. I could not recommend highly enough.
