Fabulous setting in the depths of the Devon countryside with stunning views from the immaculately kept garden. Room had everything one could wish for - including wine glasses and nibbles (!) - and a dressing table with convenient plugs for devices.

Ask for a 'garden room' for ease of transporting luggage. The nearby Redwoods Inn is a proper English pub. Not only does it serve perfectly decent food, but men actually go there to drink pints with other men in a most pleasant convivial atmosphere - just like the old days!

For starters, I NEVER do reviews, but, I can't say enough good, and honestly can't think of one negative. The owners were lovely and entirely accommodating. Anything I needed they took care of... all I had to do was ask. They are always around working hard on the garden and establishment so they are so easy to find to make your requests. If you want a peaceful, tranquil, quiet stay with beautiful gardens and a lovely view, this is your place. You feel like you are way away from civilization but in fact you are only about 1 mile to 1 1/2 miles away. You hear NO city noise or traffic. It was such a lovely stay that I almost didn't want to leave. Alison took lovely care of me every morning for breakfast. I recently discovered that I am sensitive to gluten thus was quite uneducated as to what contains it. She saved me from a surely uncomfortable day or two when I almost ate something with gluten. She has her kitchen set up so that anyone with Celiac can rest assure they will be taken care of... just let her know in advance. To some it up, I couldn't give this B&B HIGH ENOUGH of a review. Though I was grieving the loss of a loved one, the stay at Brambles gave me the evening escape from the busy and sad days. And after my wonderful morning breakfast, I had nice, quiet & scenic walks to start my day. I just love nature and here I was surrounded by it. With all of their flowers and bird feeders you have entertainment any time you look out the window. So wonderful. I will 100% stay every time I fly across the pond to England. Thank you Alison and Dave, for such a lovely stay! There is so much more to say but I think I should leave it here. Too much and some people don't read. lol -Dawn-Marie

If you are into golf then you are in luck. There is a golf course about 1 1/2 miles away. I didn't get the chance to walk the course but my friend's daughter gets lessons there and the people there are very pleasant! Such a warm feeling. Though I never looked for it, I hear there is a pub that is walking distance from the B&B (3/4 of a mile I think). Also, there is a small store that I walked to many times (it is actually on the way to the golf course). I had a car but the walk is so nice and not difficult at all. I'd say it is about a mile to 1 & 1/4 miles from the B&B.

We were travelling to Devon for a driving experience and looking for accommodation nearby with no joy. Found the Brambles, and although a bit further to travel so glad we did.WOW, where to start! The Brambles is set in a beautiful garden and is so peaceful with a fantastic view. A little haven of tranquillity and quiet. On arrival, we were welcomed by our host, Alison, who showed us to the garden room and booked us in for breakfast the following day. The room was spotless and comfortable with a lovely view of the garden. All necessary essentials and more, including fans for the warmer weather, were provided. We had a generous selection of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, biscuits and snacks. The host had previously asked about dietary requirements and specifically purchased whole milk due to supplementary needs, which was really appreciated. Breakfast was amazing with so much choice, including cereal, yoghurt, fruit, pastries and a variety of freshly cooked breakfast options served with toast and a pot of tea or coffee. If you are looking for somewhere to relax and unwind or a base to explore from, the Brambles is the ideal place. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it. Thank you so much to Alison & David for sharing your home and hospitality.
