Lovely location for a quiet stay. The staff were very welcoming and room clean and very comfortable.
We had dinner and the food was excellent - sauces so tasty and the fish wonderfully fresh.
Handy location for jumping onto the NE railways trail nearby and also for various local attractions.

Hidden Gem Hotel and Quality Food
What a hidden gem of a hotel! From the anticipated needs when booking to the friendly efficient staff on arrival and throughout out our stay and not forgetting the quality food served. Probably the best cooked breakfast I’ve had too!
I also have to mention the spacious deluxe room that was spotlessly clean and the team who keep it that way.

Love Saplinbrae and this was my fifth visit, and my wifes first. Thankfully she loved it as much as i do. Lovely room, comfy bed, great shower, very peaceful and the food is always outstanding but this was the best yet! Amazing staff as well.
