Thank you for visiting the Five Gables Guest House website!

Grace, Ron and Garry Patterson welcome you to Five Gables Guest House, the former golf clubhouse of the old Arbroath Golf Club. Now a popular family run B&B in Arbroath.

Since opening our doors over 14 years ago, we've worked hard to become one of the best B&B's in the Angus and Dundee area. We're proud that around 50% of our guests return year after year, some 2-3 times a year, to enjoy our location and very special accommodation … at very reasonable prices.

Five Gables Guest House is the former golf clubhouse of the Arbroath Golf Club 1877-1984. This unique building still retains some of the charm, character and atmosphere that was home to local golfers for nearly a century before we purchased it. With an elevated position and panoramic views over the 1st tee and the 18th green of the Arbroath Links golf course, you can also see the stunning eastern coastline from the dining area whilst enjoying a hearty Scottish breakfast. The views take in the red sandstone cliffs of Arbroath to the north, directly out to the Bell Rock lighthouse, to the Tay estuary and Fife coastline to the south. On a clear day you can see all the way to Berwick.

If you're a golfer, Five Gables House B&B will soon become your home from home, with more and more golfers coming back year on year. With the Arbroath golf course literally on our doorstep and around 30 other golf courses available nearby. These include the 2007 British Open venue, the Carnoustie Championship golf course just 10 minutes away. And the 2010 venue, the St Andrews Old Course just 30 minutes from Arbroath. Our guests also enjoy exclusive discounts on green fees to 8 local golf courses. This includes up to 20% off at the Arbroath Links golf course and 10% at the Montrose Links. More details can be found on our golf page.

And even if you're not a golfer, Five Gables House B&B in Arbroath is the ideal location for visiting some of the finest castles in Historic Scotland, and for fishing salmon and trout in some of best rivers in Scotland. Sea fishing is also popular in the Angus area, both by boat or fishing off the rocks. More details of all the Angus & Dundee area has to offer can be found on our local attractions page.

We look forward to welcoming you to Five Gables House B&B.

Auld Arbroath
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 Angus 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. In 1998, a Pictish gravesite dating back 1500 years was found just 40 yards from our B&B. Angus was once the premier Pictish Province in the seven Pictish Kingdoms, before Scotland existed and before power moved to Scone.
