Guest House, the former golf clubhouse of the old Arbroath Golf
Club. Now a popular family run B&B in Arbroath with separate

This unique building still retains some of the charm, character
and atmosphere that was home to the local golfers for nearly a
century. Five Gables Guest House has been running as a bed and
breakfast for over 12 years, and is regarded as one of the best
in the Angus and Dundee area. The B and B is situated in an elevated
position with panoramic views over the 18 hole, James Braid designed
Arbroath Golf Course, and the stunning Eastern coastline. These
views take in the Arbroath Cliffs to the North, to the Tay Estuary
and Fife coastline to the South.

The ancient fishing town of Arbroath, or
Aberbrothock as it was once called, entered recorded history
in 1178 with the founding of the Arbroath Abbey.
The area dates further back to the Bronze Age and Pictish era,
with Pictish settlements, carved stones, hill forts and earth
houses found here and all over the Angus area.
Arbroath is the largest of the Angus towns, with a population
of around 24,000 "Red Lichties". The town is well
known for the Arbroath Abbey and its significance in Scottish
history. It was at the Arbroath Abbey in 1320, after the Battle
Of Bannockburn, that the Declaration of Independance was signed
by Robert the Bruce and Scotland's nobles, declaring the Bruce
as King Of Scotland. The Arbroath Abbey is also the final resting
place of King William The Lion, Scotlands longest serving monarch.
Arbroath is also well known for its delicacy, the Arbroath Smokie,
a tradition of smoking fish passed down through the generations.
Arbroath Smokies in its many manifestations, can be found in
most of the towns 20+ cafes and restaurants.
No shortage of nightlife either, with over 30 pubs and nightclubs
offering anything from a quiet drink and local Scottish music,
to live bands and the latest chart music.
Arbroath also makes an excellent base for touring the east coast
of Scotland, with the city of Dundee and the town of St Andrews
under 30 minutes drive from our B&B. And Perth and Aberdeen
around an hours drive from our guest house. The town is also
situated within an hours drive of over 30 golf courses and several
loch, pool or sea fishing locations.
Arbroath is also ideal for visitors touring Scottish castles
and mansion houses, with around 40 castles located within 35
miles of the town. Some of these are open to the public offering
tours, gardens and wedding facilities. With others in a ruinous
state, or as private residences.
At Five Gables House, we offer an updated
local "Whats On" guide and we specialize in giving
visitors all the information they need during their stay with
us. So much so that the Scottish Tourist Board have given us
a 100% rating (5 Star) for visitor information.
