The Brae Loch Inn is a charming, rather eccentric, Inn with a great restaurant and a bar with a terrific selection of single malt whiskeys. The Inn was built in 1910 and is rather labyrinthine. There is no elevator, so people with mobility problems should be aware of that. The staff was friendly and helpful, the continental breakfast very good and the restaurant excellent. We were there on the weekend and the live music was excellent as well. Highly recommend the Brae Loch!

This historic Inn was decorated beautifully for the season & our room, Mary Queen of Scott's room#12, was tastefully decorared with an antique canopy bed & period pieces. Our room looked over the courtyard and lake. From the signature drink selection to the appetizer and dinner, portions were beyond expectations with reasonable prices. Waking to peaceful falling snow while drinking our morning coffee was a added bonus. If you want the charm of yesteryears with the conveniences of today found in a quaint village getting, the Brae Loch Inn is your place!

Great pet friendly option

Our stay was wonderful. We were traveling with a puppy and they were very welcoming of that. Live music every night and the food at the restaurant was great. The bed was also really comfortable (memory foam mattress). I would definitely stay again!

Charming Scottish Inn

Staying here felt like being on an episode of Outlander - right out of Scottish highlands. Charming bed and breakfast vibe but with full working restaurant and bar. Close to colleges in the area (Colgate, Hamilton, Cazenovia, hour away from Syracuse). Dinner at the restaurant was good. Enjoyed outside patio and took a walk to Cazenovia Lake after dinner.

Where do I start. I will start with check in, which was very confusing and not intuitive. I had to go upstairs and walk around a little and ask. I ended up checking in with Hank, WHO WAS AWESOME!!!! He said I was in room 12 and that it is their haunted room. Excuse me, what?! I was freaked! I had no idea this Inn was haunted! I went to the room and the smell was absolutely awful. It was a musky scent and I sneezed and sneezed and sneezed. I didn’t sleep a wink due not only being scared to death but also the scent and sneezing all night. My nose ran for hours. The scent is hideous. This Inn is old, like 1800’s old so the floors creek and the heat system is very loud. I unfortunately did not enjoy my stay here AT ALL and left first thing in the morning. If you want to hang out with ghosts, perhaps this is for you. I will say though that the bed was incredibly comfortable!!! Other than that, I wish I never wasted my money coming here.

Room was nice and bed was very comfortable. However the room was too hot and had a strange musty like odor. We tried to adjust the heat/air conditioning with little success. Lighting was also a bit dim for reading.
