Braeside a stylish modern retreat

JaimeRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a lovely stay at Braeside. Great location, easy parking outside and close to facilties. Spacious and very comfortable for 2 people. We would return! We did have to top up the electric and buy essentials like toilet roll, tea and coffee, however we were offered a reimbursement which was appreciated. The coop opposite is well stocked and open 7-10 daily and there were lots of essentials in the cupboards. If you're arriving during day time hours then you'll have no issue picking up what you need. We would have liked more info after check in, like what part of the garden we could use, but the hosts were responsive to messages. Overall a great stay, good value and keen to return! Thank you!
