    Great room, and located right next to the beach and harbour. Friendly and helpful staff and great food. Second time we've stayed here. Delighted with the Old Brewhouse.

    Only one issue was the really squeaky floorboards in the rooms. Could here every step in every room

    This place was amazing. Food was excellent. Best steak ever tasted. Staff made us and our dog very welcome. Beds were really comfortable and rooms were emaculate. Definitely be back to book the separate apartment

    It would have been nice to have earlier breakfast time

    Nice clean comfortable room with a lovely sea view. Shame about the late start time for breakfast 10am Not good when you are travelling onwards and have a time slot booked for Scottish National Trust.

    There really wasn't anything I could complain about.

    Food was outstanding, with a varied menu. Staff was exceptionally helpful and kind. Room was comfortably modern, given the historical nature of the building. I spent 5 nights at The Old Brewhouse, so had good opportunity to sample the menu and get to know staff. I would definitely come here again, if I am fortunate enough to travel back to Arbroath!

    Nothing of any importance, but duvet was rather too heavy for us, given the unexpected warm temperatures.

    The location, view from room, decor and friendliness of staff. Very helpful with advice re local area and attractions. Let us leave our bags till train was due. Outdoor seating area a bonus, as the weather was unexpectedly great! Thanks.

    Excellent staff, room and bed. Restaurant choice was good, breakfast superb.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double or Twin Room with Sea View

    The only real issue is that breakfast is only served from 1000 - 1130hrs. So if you have to get off early, you will miss the excellent breakfast.

    The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom compact, yet adequate. The bed was the highlight, comfortable double bed and with the window slightly open, it was silent other than the rhythmic rumble of the waves against the breakwater. I had the best two nights sleep I have had for a long time. The breakfasts were excellent, with good choice, local fare and generous portions. Very good value. Staff were friendly and helpful. All in all a very enjoyable stay.

    Unfortunately breakfast not being served until 10:00am is no good if you are staying on business. Provision of a continental breakfast would not require a chef, so surprised nothing was on offer. this was not made clear when booking

    The welcome and room were very good and a minor problem with a key was more than adequately addressed. Dinner was outstanding. the room was lovely despite creaky floorboards.

    Overall, our stay was excellent. Very small points were that a stool or table in the bathroom would have been useful to put toiletries on, and there was occasional fan noise (from downstairs). Breakfast doesn't start until 10am, which wasn't a problem for us, but good to know before you visit (a small fridge is provided in the room alongside the usual tea and coffee making facilities).

    Very comfortable room. Well appointed with sofa and chairs and coffee table, dressing table and mirror. Spacious bedroom and bathroom. Separate entrance (from the pub itself) to the rooms was good to have.

    Your staff were fantastic. I worked in the restaurant with excellent wifi, great surroundings, amazing food and staff that catered for my every need. I even brought my dog in for the last day and she was given her own water bowl and dog biscuits. I can not thank your team enough for making what was a hard working week into a very comfortable, full of excellent service and nice environment time. I would recommend you highly to anyone. Big thanks to the restaurant staff.
