Bramley Cottage was a lovely place for a peaceful break.
Bramley Cottage was a lovely place for a peaceful break. Very dog friendly with a nice little garden with very comfortable wooden chairs to relax in, surrounded by fruit trees.The cottage had everything we needed so we were very happy. But the bed was not the same as in the photos, it is a metal bed frame, that is very high! James was a very friendly host and a visit to their farm shop for coffee and cake is reccomended.

What a delightful cottage! Set in a rural location so very quiet and peaceful.
What a delightful cottage! Set in a rural location so very quiet and peaceful. Beautifully decorated and furnished. The owner lives on the farm and was close by if we needed anything but not at all intrusive. Would love to visit again in better weather to take advantage of the garden. A small improvement would be the addition of blinds at the front door and front lounge window to give more privacy,particularly when using the bathroom. A lovely home from home. Thanks for having us.

Bramley cottage is a recently-built (2022) bespoke 1-bed single-storey cottage ideal for a couple, and is very dog-friendly. From the cottage, there is a pleasing outlook over the orchard, the plums were in-season and being picked by visitors to the site, which now includes a cafe. The cottage is near the far end of the estate (furthest from Ashlyns Lane, and visible on Google Maps), so were were never disturbed, its a wonderfully peaceful place. We had a great time here, helped by good weather. The condition of the cottage was superb. There was plenty of space for us and our dog, a comfy sofa, excellent shower, and all the mod-cons you need in the kitchen area.Our dog was well-looked after too with treats being left for them, the whole garden being fenced in (very small dogs might be able to escape). Nice outdoor furniture. My only suggestion for improvement to complete the luxury feel would be an upgrade to King or super-king bed, with fine cotton sheets, although the existing is certainly adequate.We will certainly be visiting again in future - we were visiting family and it was very close-by and convenient for us. For anyone with reservations about the look of property - we had initially thought from the pictures that it was a 'disguised' mobile-home, but it is not, it is a properly built, solid, and desirable property. I would happily own it as a second-home.James (who was helpful and pleasant, but not obtrusive at all) and the family should be congratulated on such a lovely property.Finally, a quick note for any particularly "large" people considering staying - you might find the toilet positioned too-close to the side wall for your comfort.
