Bramble is a comfortable, warm and cosy place to stay. It is well equipped and sits in peaceful countryside, although I didn’t enjoy the single track access roads. I got used to them by the end of the week. Once at the farm there is plenty of room for parking or turning. The owners left a lovely welcome hamper which was very thoughtful. I was disappointed that there was no contact with the owners, except one chance meeting or a distant wave. They have provided a folder of walks which was very useful.

Some of the kitchen tools and equipment needed to be updated. The bannisters on the stairs were broken and very rickety.
