A slightly belated but very big thank you to the young riders from the Riding of the Marches who came along to visit us at Sunnybrae earlier this month! ❀️

The annual visit from the horses is always a firm favourite with our tenants, and this year was no exception. There were plenty of smiles, chats and, of course, lots of attention for the four-legged visitors!

We absolutely love being included in this wonderful Orkney tradition, and it means a great deal to our tenants that the riders take the time to stop by and see us.

Thank you to all the young riders (and their beautiful horses!) for making our day that little bit more special. We hope to see you all again next year! 🐴

Another brilliant afternoon at Sunnybrae!

A huge thank you to Andrea and Keith from Hrossey Raptors for bringing along their beautiful owls to visit us. Everyone was absolutely in awe of these magnificent, tame birds, and it was such a special experience to be able to see them up close and learn more about them.

We hope to welcome you back to Sunnybrae again in the future!

πŸ“πŸΉ Cocktail Afternoon at Sunnybrae! 🍍🌴

What an afternoon we've had at Sunnybrae!

Our staff went all out once again, transforming the lounge into the perfect setting for a fun-filled Cocktail Afternoon.

Our tenants enjoyed freshly made Strawberry Daiquiris, Piña Coladas, and even tried their hand at making their own cocktails and mocktails! We also unveiled our very own Sunnybrae Signature Cocktail, which proved to be a big hit! 🍹✨
The laughter could be heard far and wide as everyone enjoyed each other's company, played games, and rounded off the afternoon with a delicious buffet.
These moments are about so much more than food and drinks – they're about creating opportunities to socialise, trying something different and making our people’s activity requests come to life.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff for their creativity, enthusiasm and dedication in making days like these happen. You really do make Sunnybrae a special place to live. ❀️

Today at Sunnybrae we celebrated US Independence Day with a delicious American-themed lunch, and what a feast it was!

A huge thank you to Paula and Lisa who pulled out all the stops in the kitchen, serving up an incredible menu including Hot Dogs, chicken wings, sweet corn, loaded tattie skins and home-made apple pie.

We love celebrating different cultures and occasions throughout the year with themed lunches, and today's American lunch was another great opportunity to bring everyone together over good food and good company.

A massive well done and thank you to Paula for all the hard work that went into lunch today! ❀️
