Michael, the proprietor, could not be more accomodating. From the email he sent me right after I booked to the end of our stay, he was attentive. I have a restricted diet and he dealt graciously with this. His cooking was the best we had on the holiday; honest, tasty and locally sourced. We will go back to stay at... More

We (my wife and our 8 and 5 year old children) after a local function. We were welcomed by Michael in the car park who offered to carry bags to the room and then showed us to our room and made us feel very welcome. The rooms and facilities were superb (its such a nice change to have a decent... More

We decided to book Brandy Bank as we wanted a truly dog friendly, yet comfortable B and B where we could rest after a long day of exploring and hiking. Michael and his home from home did not disappoint! From our first phone call Michael was very engaging and friendly, and as we arrived he rushed out, took our suitcases... More

This is the third time we have stayed at Brandy Bank. Each time we have visited, has been as good as the last and there is no doubt that we will be returning. The rooms are very well appointed and comfortable and from the moment Mike served us with our 'weary travellers' pot of tea in the lounge we were... More

We had to go to Scotland very suddenly for a family funeral and stopped at Brandy Bank on way back. Michael was so helpful and warmed the house up for us, as it was really very cold. He gave us a beautiful meal and had beds warmed with hot water bottles for us. He could not have been more hospitable,... More

I have had a very bad year so returning to Brandy Bank was a little treat to myself. And what a treat it was! I had only just pulled into the car park when Michael appeared, to welcome me and carry my bags to my room. A pot of my favourite tea was soon waiting for me in the warm... More

I recently used the Brandy Bank at West Woodburn and found it a very pleasant and satisfactory accommodation. My last visit there was in 1987 when it was then the Fox and Hounds and whilst there are still physical vestiges of the old place, the current venue is an unrecognisable improvement on that from all those years ago. The rooms... More
