I arranged to stay at the Brookhouse as a surprise for my wifes birthday, I decided to stay in the 'posh pods' as they are so unique and knew my wife would love it, and the Brook house has such a good reputation for service and quality. The pods are so well made long oval shaped, built in pine with wooden tiles completly covering the ouside walls and sides. The double glazed entrance doors with the built in decking and seating makes them feel very cosy. I was so surprised how much room there was inside a full size bed ( with Kath Kitson covers...as my wife informs me!) a couple of chairs and table and tea and coffe facilities tastfully arranged on shelfs in the corner. Having visited before hand Julia ( who is so loveley and cant do enough for you) asked me if I wanted a bottle of champage on ice for when we got back from our meal, this was such a nice touch and as promised was on ice on our return as well as fresh cut flowers which was such a nice and appreciated touch. The pod looked amazing at night with the well lit path and outside lights. The pods are set in beautiful gardens in easy reach of the main house but the far enough away to make you feel you have complete privacy. The heating in the pod makes them so cosy and would expel any non campers fears of waking up chilly. glamping at its best! In the morning after a amazing nights sleep on the really comfortable bed. Julia had arranged for us to have our breakfast outside the conservatory. The beautiful layed lawns and country style garden was in full bloom and it was a perfect sunny day ,what more could you ask for except an amazing full breakfast which was cooked to perfection.
I really cant say enough about this place and coudnt help show my wife around the bed and breakfast, its such a stunning house with such character and Julia clearly has the eye of a intererior designer, country chique at its best. The attentive service and uniqueness of this bed and breakfast really puts to shame some of the larger hotels who charge so much more. We have allready recomended this venue to two of my close friends who are looking for somewhere to get married.
We will be back soon.
Thanks Julia
