The friendliest place I've ever stayed
From the moment we checked in, we felt like family. The staff here are the warmest of people. The smiles weren't just customer service smiles, they were genuine. Suzanne in particular went to great lengths to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We were genuinely sad to leave her! Suzanne couldn't have been more kind to our elderly dog, Smurf. She always made a fuss of her and had a sneaky treat for her. Often in 'dog friendly' accommodation, dogs are tolerated. Here dogs are loved....and that made all the difference to our holiday. ....and I haven't even mentioned the delicious seafood and fab breakfast/coffee! Thanks to all at Murray Arms for looking after us so well. We will be back. Love from Emma & Mark xx

Great stay
This is an excellent place to stay, really convenient for the ferry and well connected to the mainland. Our room was very clean and comfortable if a bit on the small side for 2 of us. However this didn’t detract from our stay. The staff are welcoming friendly and helpful. The restaurant is lovely and the food is outstanding

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 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!!!

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.
