Home away from home!

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 9 Nov 2022
Super clean and comfortable in an idiliic location. The hosts Shelley & Dave went above and beyond to facilitate our group, nothing was too much trouble and the food was simply amazing!
We had a super trip out to Dunnottar Castle which everyone thoroughly enjoyed … even the 20 year olds, highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area.
Thank you so much, we’ll be back!!

Where to start? Honestly a truly fabulous B&B! Everything you want and need; tucked away from the main road, on a working farm, wonderfully welcoming & engaging hosts (they couldn't do enough), a large bedroom with lots of wardrobe space, a large ensuite, comfy bed with a selection of pillows, fresh water in a glass bottle in the room, a mini flask of fresh milk for teas and coffees, a beautiful sleep, and a huge breakfast full of tasty food. I can't eat gluten and was provided with gluten free bread, AND sausages (a rarity in B&Bs) with my cooked breakfast. There were other gluten free treats offered too, but as I can't have sugar either - didn't have them

They recommended a local pub for dinner that served wonderful fish and seafood dishes.

It was a perfect place for me to stay having explored Aberdeenshire and before heading off towards the West Coast.

I'd happily drive all the way back there from Manchester just to experience their hospitality again!

We had a wonderful stay at the Chapel of Barras Farm B&B close to Stonehaven (off the beaten track but well worth the ride a mile up the hill!) - we loved the peaceful surroundings as well as the beautiful rooms that had been newly built 12 years ago and are kept in meticulously clean state.
We were very lucky Michelle and David had a vacant room and will definitely book well in advance next time to make sure we can stay there for some time. Our double room was very spacious and pleasantly furnished (lots of tiny personal touches!) and had a big, beautiful bathroom and a separate closet for suitcase, shoes, clothing etc. Coffee/tea making facilities were provided in the room, some toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, soap, cotton buds for a night) and a hairdryer - oh, and some biscuits :)
This B&B is also perfectly located (in quiet, peaceful surroundings) as a base for a tour of the east coast since Dunnotar Castle and Stonehaven are close-by, and vibrant Aberdeen and historic Arbroath are not far either; staying there for a few days is what we are planning to do next time.
Michelle was quite busy at the time we arrived, baking and preparing for a family wedding the upcoming week, but still made us feel so welcome and took the time to make sure we still found a nice place to have dinner, even though we arrived rather late that evening.
Michelle and David are also a great team at breakfast, cooking, serving, chatting with the guests and making sure they feel at home. Breakfast was so delicious and we were given many different options, from Scottish to continental breakfast and various options (granola, pancakes etc.), all freshly cooked and based on local ingredients.
We would absolutely love to stay at Michelle and David's wonderful family home again in the future - it's a place to be highly recommended!

Booked to stay at Chapel of Barras Farm Bed and Breakfast as a base to visit a friend in Stonehaven, and to travel to Stirling and Falkirk. Picked up the car from the airport, put it in the postcode on the satnav and in next to no time I arrived and received a lovely welcome.

The decor of the room was very much to my liking, as I also had to work. The room and ensuite were exceptionally clean. Breakfast was top class, and Michelle and Dave were wonderful hosts, such that the guests also echoed very nice pleasantries in the morning over breakfast.

I will certainly stay here again.

Stonehaven is such a beautiful place to visit but…….the Chapel of Barras Farm B & B is the jewel in the crown! Dave and Michelle are the perfect hosts - they make you feel as though they’ve been friends for years, so charming and welcoming. They have an ideally located, gorgeous farmhouse with lovely rooms and the best breakfast. THE BEST BREAKFAST! Repeated for emphasis because Dave and Michelle really go beyond the norm when it comes to caring for their guests. An absolute must book B and B. 11/10 for quality and care.
