We received an enthusiastic and friendly response to our enquiry for accommodation at short notice and a warm welcome on our arrival to Guy and Sue's very comfortable home. More care couldn't have been taken to look after us. Our room was extremely comfortable and equipped with tea-making facilities and fresh milk for the morning. It was very quiet and... More

Thoroughly enjoyed a stay at Bracken House. We received a warm welcome from Guy and Sue who couldn't have been more helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the rooms comfortable. Beds were superb and the bathrooms have been refurbished to an extremely high standard this year. A big thumbs up and wholehearted recommendation.

The welcome at Bracken House was really great - Guy and Sue made us very welcome in their home, especially over dinner! The evening meals were beautifully cooked, and breakfast was lovely, with home-made bread, beautifully served fruit salad - a choice of whatever you wanted. All meals are served in the lovely Georgian dining room. The house - including... More

Bratton Fleming was the hub of our overseas vacation. Bracken House provided a relaxing respite while researching local family history & visiting friends. Located across from the original parsonage, Bracken House sits adjacent to 'the glebe', a common garden area great for taking a morning stroll or walking pets. A walk to the center of town isn't far at all... More

From the off, the owners bent over backwards to make one feel welcome and were very flexible in regard to check-in time and nominating a time for the delicious cooked-to-order breakfast, including bread freshly baked on site, and preceded by a tasty fruit salad. The house is a characterful and historical delight both inside and out, with picturesque views. Lottie... More

Staying at Bracken House is everything you could wish from a B & B experience. Absolutely lovely house. Delightful, warm and thoughtful hosts. Beautiful, clean and comfortable room. Tea served in a pot with proper cups! And the breakfast truly puts the B into B & B - we can't recommend it highly enough. Don't hesitate, just book it.

We have just returned from a thoroughly enjoyable stay at Bracken House. We were made very welcome by our hosts, Guy, Susan and Lottie( the lab) Our room was of a particularly high standard - comfortable and clean. Breakfast was scrummy and I think Guy could have rustled up anything we asked for! It was a treat to be offered... More

During the two weeks of our stay in the bracken House, we enjoyed the silence, the warm and perfect support. It is a place which invites to stay longer than two or three days. It's a place the burn out to outsmarting.

Warm welcome, charming comfortable room all in a secluded quiet rural location. Our hospitality included a satisfying and flavoursome supper with hosts and magnificent breakfasts with fruit platters that Monet himself would find hard to match in artistry. Guy's bacon and crepes make for a salivating experience. Occasional strains of live harp music were added ethereal experiences to this happy... More
