We love this property and Leah is amazing! Great property for a large family get together, warm comfortable plenty of bathing facilities views to die for, more than ample parking, great outside space and lovely garden. . Maybe a bit old fashioned but comfort and all the other positives overshadow that. Leah makes you very welcome, a favourite place to create great memories.

It’s the second time our group of friends have stayed at Braefield. A large house with plenty of bathrooms and a lovely large kitchen diner where we spent most of our time when we were in the house. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are warm. Some of our guests reported that towel radiators were not working leaving towels wet. The lounge is a very cold room which we didn’t use. Sadly the decor has deteriorated since our last visit due to damp and plaster is starting to come away. However it was good value for money for the size of property and the location.
