very central location.. lovely big room. large comfortable bed , also sofa bed.. friendly helpful owners /staff... a short walk to large park. next to the Cathedral. very interesting .. also local museum nearby. worth a wee visit.... breakfast was good too,

a bit dated decor wise etc. but over all good. was reasonably priced for our 2 nights with breakfast... and bit disappointed with my food on second night. as ordered the chicken goujon starter (was excellent on first night.) but ordered again second night was not great at all. the batter was so different. thick pale & chipper style. ?? nothing like the previous night. (i probably could have queried it . maybe someone different prepared it .) but i let it go....

The location, parking, accommodation and meals were all very good. However, as usual, what made this place stand out for us was the friendliness of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble. Would certainly recommend the hotel to family and friends.

As mentioned above the staff made the stay for us. From the Manger to the bar staff all were first class and we really felt at home. The evening meal and breakfast were both very tasty and the former was reasonably priced by today's standards with the later being included in the room rate.

Nice hotel - ideal if you need to visit Angus or the Glens. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Looks like they have recently update the bathroom which is good. Hotel was a little quiet but the owner and his family were very welcoming and friendly. There is an on-site restaurant and a bar which is not too busy. Good breakfast (extra cost).

The room was a little hot (it was in June!) so had to open the window which resulted in a bit of noise coming into the room(1st floor). Not a major issue as could have closed the window.

I have a very small breakfast and i do drink a lot of tea, the hotel staff are very good and always top it up 3 or 4 times without a word of complaint. I have stayed at this hotel for over 3 weeks now and the staff are just lovely, in fact it is the family of the owner that makes it so enjoyable. They are kind and respectful trying their very best to meet your needs.

I really do not have any dislikes whilst staying at this family run hotel.

The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. A little wait for dinner as they were busy, but excellent quality and piping hot. The rooms are spacious and clean (we had two) with absolutely no complaints. Complimentary Tea, Coffee & Hot Chocolate in the room with toiletries in the bathroom. we had a very nice quiet stay in a nice part of the country.

Some areas are looking a little tired, but despite this it was very clean.

Lovely family run hotel. Very friendly and offered lots of ideas for things to do in Angus and beyond. Wide variety of mains for evening meals and tasty Scottish breakfast. Good location for exploring some of the surrounding attractions like Montrose Basin.

Shame Historic Scotland don't open the church and one of Scotland's only round towers, as it is one of the main attractions in Brechin.

Breakfast was very good, the staff were very friendly and attentive. We also had a dinner at night which was very good. The room was nice size and bed was comfy ,bathroom very clean. The only thing I would say the carpet in the room could do with being replaced, but the room was very clean. The staff were all very nice to us great people.

The only thing was carpet in room needs attention.

Central location with off street parking. Comfortable clean room and was ideal for what my requirements were. A great sleep. Very friendly and lovely helpful staff.

The Northern is as others have said getting a bit tired looking and some maintenance required, but balanced with the nightly rate it is good value.

Staff and owners were great- would do anything to make your stay comfortable. Food at Lunch was also great. Owner was very flexible and helpful with check out time as I was up visiting family. Will definitely be returning soon and will recommend

Could be more facilities at night to use such as pool table or dart board

Well managed town house to which I will return. Huge wet room was a feature of Rm 101. Locals meeting in the public areas suggested it to be a well respected Brechin venue. Star of the show was a maid of all work whose name I didn't catch. Warm, welcoming and wanting to do all she could for the comfort of her guests, it was a delight to watch her work. More local girls like this would greatly improve the standard of the British hospitality industry. It would be a great loss to this hotel if it were to lose her!

Can't think
