The Brae Hotel

非常好的一家酒店，老闆人特別好，熱心善良，告訴我們哪些景點非常值得去，酒店處在主島中心地帶，景色非常美，緊鄰超市和加油站還有小賣店，一個魚薯條店很近，還有一個外賣中餐館，但是味道是那種國外改良版，更接近台灣那種，但是我推薦酒店的午餐和晚餐，可以跟老闆説自己想吃什麼，老闆會非常精心的給準備，我們開始不知道，跟老闆交流後，老闆給準備的魚餐和雞肉餐，當然要求都是按照我們要求做的，非常美味，當然中餐老闆是不會做的，不過老闆做的咖哩飯其他遊客説很好吃，因為我們喜歡吃清淡的，味道跟米其林也差不多，酒店床軟硬適 中，設施洽到好處。我們是去看極光的，老闆還告訴我們哪裡去看比較好，哪個網站看預警，這個酒店温馨的像家一樣，推薦大家一定訂這家酒店，不過夏天要提前三個月預訂呀，否則沒有位置。

This is lovely hotel. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The cheery staff looks after everyone well. The beds were good, the pillows a bit stiff. The heat came on quickly when we came in cold from the rain. There's games and a snooker room. The bar opens about an hour before dinner-- There's quite a broad selection of libations. Breakfast is nice. The fellows who greeted us were cheery and helpful. The hit tea and coffee came out quickly and the cooked breakfast was made to order. Curtis was particularly cheery, funny and had good information about everything on the islands from what to see to what to wear given the weather. He treated us like welcome family. Stuart could be heard singing along with the music as he expertly cooked our eggs (perfect every day of our tour!). He has a great voice, and when he pitched in inside the dining room he made us feel as welcome as Curtis had done. Breakfast has lots of choice--all well made. Dinner was great--we especially liked the salmon, pork chop and beefsteak. Desserts were lovely. You can tell that the staff are happy--with our landlady cheerfully pitching in serving dinner when one of her staff was out. We were there on a Brightwater tour for Up Helly A, and their good spirits added to our own.

During a recent stay at The Brae Hotel for a couple of weeks while working away, I found the hotel to be in a great location with comfortable rooms. However, due to the time of year and challenging weather conditions, there were staff and chef shortages, meaning evening meals were limited to a small bar menu. Despite this, breakfast was still served each morning, and I have to give a special mention to Curtis and Scott, who went above and beyond throughout our stay. They ensured we were well looked after, always providing a delicious serving of breakfast to start the day with a friendly and welcoming attitude. Understanding our situation with limited food options, they even took it upon themselves to bring us food in the evenings—a gesture that made a huge difference. With most places closed due to the weather and not much happening around the hotel, their kindness and hospitality truly stood out, making our stay far better than expected. A massive thank you to both of them for their outstanding service!
