"Must be the best B&B in the country. Worth staying for the breakfast alone. For us it was like coming home. I personally like the lovely little alcove and rocking chair in the room at the back! Fiona always makes you feel most welcome."
"This was a fantastic 7 days. Attention to detail is stunning, the breakfast memorable and relaxing in the rocking chair in the alcove in the room on a hot evening very relaxing."
"We, my sister and I, enjoyed the stay at Braeside. Iain served a magnificent breakfast and showed us a green rose in his garden. Unfortunately the bathroom was not quite proper (hairs and other stuff). Bedroom was OK ."
"We were unlucky with the weather on arriving at Swellendem - typical English rain. Our welcome was warm, the room cosy and the breakfast - served in sunshine the next morning - was delicious."
"Amazing interior design, tastefully done. Excellent accommodation with thoughtful individual touches. Delicious and beautifully presented breakfast. Iain and Leon were delightful and helpful hosts.Well worth the extra expense."
"The host is very friendly and welcoming. Made the stay very enjoyable."
