Cute inn but has some quirks
This is a cute inn with a nice restaurant underneath. Unfortunately there were a few quirks that made it not the best stay for our last night of our vacation. The wifi didn't really reach our room and so we had to use our phone service or go down to the restaurant to download things, which is kinda necessary with kids before flying. And the hot water only worked in the morning. My youngest wanted desperately a hot shower after driving for a long day and that was just not possible. The walls are thin and I was worried my kids were making too much noise and was awoken at midnight by all the rest of the guests going to their rooms. There is simply no sound proofing, which makes sense as it is an older building. I think this place is nice for those who don't have our needs, but we were only there for a night so it worked. And the whole area is very nice and historic. I think it is a great fit for someone who wants that experience in the area and is not travel weary and ready to go home.

Back a second time to this quaint inn under the watchful eye of patron Crawford. The hospitality at The Bruce is unrivalled, a good nights sleep followed by lots of exploring of the village of Falkland it’s a fantastic setting. We would come back again, but it may not be the same as the leasehold is on the market.

Very nice stay in Falkland!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The rooms were decorated so nicely and the bed was very comfortable. There was ample space for bags too. Our only constructive criticism point would be that we weren't aware the "private" bathroom meant that it wasn't an ensuite. It didn't matter at the end of the day since we were the only people using the bathroom, but just something to perhaps clarify for guests in the future that it's not connected to your room. Great breakfast; lovely host; overall a great stay!
