Brook House

We enjoyed two wonderful nights at Brook House which is absolutely exceptional. It is hard to describe the uniqueness of this property which is furnished with so many delightful hand crafted pieces. Breakfast was excellent and we also asked for an evening meal which was superb. But most of all our stay was made special by our lovely hostess, Cynthia, and her two gorgeous dogs. We certainly hope to return in the future.

Beautiful property and Cynthia is a tremendous hostess! We felt so welcomed in this fascinating, charming home which is filled with beautiful details and collections. Fires were stoked and much appreciated throughout our stay, breakfast was perfect, and conversation was delightful (as were the dogs Finn and Teddy). One can spend hours exploring the grounds, which is fun even in wet weather. Loved the Greyhound pub up the road too. Five of five stars!

Brook House was absolutely stunning, a true marvel of architecture and design, and a great place to unwind and relax. Cynthia is a wonderful person and host. The breakfasts were amazing. We would love to visit again.

Cynthia was the most gracious and kind host when we stayed at Brook House for visiting great English gardens in the south west in May. Of all the wonderful B&Bs we found through Sawday's, this was one of the very best. The house is designed and decorated in the most inspirational way, the garden is large and has lakes, meadows and very nice flowers. We slept wonderfully and enjoyed the clever design and great comfort of the en suite rooms. Breakfast was first class, with wonderful berries and tasteful porridge. Having conversations with Cynthia was very interesting and inspiring.

Brook House is a fabulous place to visit. This was our first visit and yet we were greeted by Cynthia like old friends and offered wonderful hospitality. Cynthia’s late husband’s creativity and craftsmanship is everywhere in the house; her home is stunning and filled with the family’s collection of beautiful furniture and objects d’art – every piece has a story to tell! Breakfast was delicious. Our room was extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished, lovely linen on the bed and thick fluffy bath towels. The extensive gardens with 2 lakes were a delight to wander around and explore.
