Braeswick B&B

  Sanday is a beautiful island. It is wonderful for walking, looking at birds and flowers and with amazing sunsets. Jon and Maria are very warm and welcoming hosts and their... read more meals are exceptional. We had home cooked meals on 3 evenings and they offer a wide range of choices, catering for vegetarians too. The breakfasts were lovely too.
Jon and Maria gave us helpful ideas for places to visit. There are few places to eat on Sanday but there are a couple of shops. We enjoyed a cake and coffee at the community hub which is open on some days. We found the Heritage Centre at Lady very interesting, together with the Croft and reconstructed burnt mound. We walked at Whitemill bay and Cata Sands. The walk at Quoyness leads to a chambered cairn which is fascinating. More

The roads are easy to drive on - and everyone waves as you pass !- there is lots to see and Maria gave me many pointers on where to go and which beaches to visit.

Wouldn't hesitate to go back or recommend to others

  Visited during covid so some facilities on the island were not open. It was a struggle to know how to get there to and from the airport (we cycled... read more one way and it was too much for me personally) The hosts are really lovely. The rooms spotless, lovely quality bed linen and view from my room and guest lounge to die for - really the most amazing views of the bay and Aurora & stars at night. Jon cooked a fabulous evening meal and really great breakfasts (best black pudding and bacon in the world) It is difficult to be negative about anything but I guess an up to date information pack in the bedroom/lounge of what facilities are open on the island may be a bonus ? Linking with the Sanday community craft hub may be good to as they could cross recommend but these are very minor points that I offer as a means of suggestions rather than any criticism . It really was such a wonderful warm homely stay and I didnt want to leave. I have already recommended it to my family and a close friend - so confident that would love it as much as I did. I will return when visiting Sanday again as it made me feel chilled, welcome rested . Thank you to the hosts for providing a special experience - if you visit Sanday and want a B&B then this is...

This is the first time staying and will definitely stay again.

  We were very lucky to enjoy two nights at Braeswick, as our booking was very last minute, however, Jon was able to fit us in, due to a cancellation. ... read more Lovely, contemporarily decorated B&B; spotlessly clean bedroom, shower room, and communal areas. Comfy bed, quite setting, excellent menu and food and a fantastic base from which to explore the island. Jon and Maria are affable and knowledge about their island, and a great resource of information and suggestions as to how best to enjoy your stay.
