“Elegant retreat on beautiful Exmoor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

Please disregard previous bad reviews of this B and B. The present owners have only owned Bracken House for 12 months. In that time they have created a wonderful, relaxing and luxurious environment in which to explore the wonders and mysteries of Exmoor.

I stayed here with my retired father and my daughter aged 10. We all enjoyed our stay.

Wonderfully comfortable beds and thick white towels, everything spotlessly clean and newly decorated. Little touches like disposable shaving razor in the bathroom, just in case one had been forgotten. Flowers in the room, picked from the huge garden. Stunning views from the bedrooms.

Fabulous breakfast cooked to perfection by Guy, the owner, who along with his wife Sue, made us feel so welcome that it felt as if we had known them for a long time. Nothing was too much trouble for them.

I would like to return to stay longer and would definately recommend Bracken House to anybody looking for somewhere quiet and special to stay.

“A lovely and peaceful retreat with so much of to explore on the door step...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010

We booked two nights at Bracken House to break the journey to Cornwall and avoid the weekend traffic and it turned out to be a highlight of the holiday. We booked the Jeeves and Wooster rooms, elegant, high ceilings, bright, well furnished with period pieces and lovely views. Powerfull showers and huge "White Company" towels - typical of the attention to detail that Guy and Sue have paid to creating this experience.

We arrived in sunshine and after unpacking found a wonderful Devon cream tea awaiting us on the terrace - sublime - and the views are stunning.

There are some great places to eat and we took Guy and Sue's recommendations both for dining out and for walks in the area.

Breakfasts were excellent and everything from local producers.

We just wanted a stop-over and got so much more...a real welcome into their beautiful home and a special treat. We now look forward to next years "stop over" !
