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!

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.

This is a great place to stay. Friendly staff, fantastic seafood and nice cosy rooms. It’s in a nice little village on South Ronaldsay - which is very pretty and has lots of good walking and interesting wildlife. It’s about a 20 minute drive from Kirkwall across the Churchill barriers. There also seems to be a decent bus service to Kirkwall and Stromness although I didn’t use this. Highly recommended!

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.
