Bramble Grange Reviews

A very well equipped and comfortable property. Perfect for a few days relaxing. The hot tub was amazing and just what we wanted. Nicky was very welcoming and had generously left milk, teacoffee, wine and mince pies. We would definitely love to return. Thank you.
Carley
Lovely little cottage. Well kept, nice and clean. Owner was very helpful and left lots of information. The only down point we had was it rain pretty much the whole time we was there so couldn't make use of the hot tub, Maybe a gazebo or some shelter over it would be good
Andrew
Very pleasant stay. Loved the hot tub.
Gillian
We had a lovely stay good facilities, comfortable and nice location. We especially loved the hot tub!
Doreen
Had a very nice stay. Owners were very nice and friendly.the parking was abit tight especially reversing out could do with lights on gate at night when dark.Would definitely return.
We really enjoyed our stay at bramble grange, its a lovely and comfortable cottage, with a beautiful garden and stunning flowers, the hot tub was very enjoyed by all of us, the owners were very nice and extremely helpful. we would love to come again.
This is a nice cottage but there were a lot of cobwebs and spiders inside. The hot tub didn't look clean and there were numerous dead bugs floating around in it which was very off putting. The place would be tight for four guests as the second room has a small double bed which wouldn't be ideal for 2 adults. If you're staying please take extra towels for the hot tub. On the plus side, the owners were friendly, milk, water, tea and coffee was provided and there were some thoughtful gestures such as guest book detailing local walks, restaurants and places of interest.
We had a lovely 2 weeks there and the hot tub was a great after are walking. Nicky and Tony are very helpful if you need help with anything. The only reason Ive not given it 1010 as it is a little crowded when there is 4 of you and the fridge is very small.
We had an enjoyable stay at Bramble Grange over the Coronation weekend. A nice welcome pack on arrival was greatly appreciated as was the information folder in the cottage. Plenty to do and see in the local area. Though located next to a main road the traffic noise mentioned in previous customer feedback was not an issue to us. The hot tub was clean, relaxing and a nice temperature. The only suggestion would be a pergola type construction with a perspex roof so that the hot tub could still be enjoyed even when the 'good old British weather' turns a little murky. You will not be disappointed with your stay at Bramble Grange and we plan to return in the not too distant.
A lovely property with everything you need. Friendly hosts who made you feel welcome. Hot tub and summer house is perfect for relaxing and feels very secluded even though you are next to the main road. Plenty of walks and sightseeing opportunities in a very pretty area of the country. Would recommend in a heart beat.
The hosts were very friendly & knowledgeable on the local area,The cottage was comfortable & had everything we needed. Hot tub was lovely & the internet was satisfactory as we downloaded some movies.
We stayed at this lovely cottage for one week, once we looked at why it was originally built it made more sence. Only small issues could be fixed, updated. I would have got rid of mismatching cutlery, add an extra dinner sets. Small details in the grand scheme of things. The good things are everything else, space inside and out. location, hosts helped out when needed and full of knowledge, Nikkie couldn't do enough and filled o Internet gap while they were changing suppliers. The surroundings amazing, out in the countryside, Less than an hour from larger towns, even closer to local shops. I would without a doubt return to Bramble cottage, it's far enough away for peice and quiet, apart from road noise when outside. The hot tub is big enough for 4, lovely quiet summer house, comfortable seatng inside, bed rooms not to big, but big enough for purpose, which is for 4 people. So, here is where I can say a big thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cottage, good luck for the future and hopefully, fingers crossed we would love to return.
We had a wonderful stay at Bramble Grange. Everything was lovely and the owners were very helpful with brilliant communication. Although the property only had onsite space for one car, we were able to park additional cars on the road less than 1 minute walk away. The hot tub and summer house were also well maintained and a lovely addition to the property Other reviews have mentioned road noise, which there was a small amount of, but it wasn't ever a problem to us and it is to be expected as it is located on an A road. Bramble Grange has a lovely homely feel and is a great place to stay.
Michael
We just came back from a lovely 3 night stay, the bungalow is spotless and has everything you need. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend. Nicki was a great host and let my little boy feed the fish everyday which he was super excited about.
Hemant
We had a great weekend at the cottage. It is a lovely place and private. There are a variety of activities accessible from there and coming back to relax in the hot tub was amazing. Additional towels or bathrobes would have been welcome, given that there is a hot tub. Otherwise, the place is well equipped.
Sharon
The bedrooms were rather small for 4 people it would have been very crowded ... The bedrooms were rather small for 4 people it would have been very crowded The cottage was great for 2 of us, the hot tub ideal, the garden was lovely The road noise spoilt the quiet and I don't think it was mentioned although inside the property not a problem The owners were lovely, overall a lovely little property ideal for a break away
Couldnt of asked for a nicer place . . Nicky was so lovely and friendly. The hot tub was fantastic and kept lovely and clean, and the place itself was spotless and so homely , we loved our stay here and would not hesitate to come back
What a lovely place everything was exactly as we'd hoped for, very welcoming on arrival and definitely worth another visit. Large selection of places to eat and takeaways within a short distance and lots to see in the area.
Louise
We had an enjoyable stay at Bramble Grange. We had a warm welcome upon our arrival and the accommodation was adequate for our stay. We booked knowing the property was on the main road, so the traffic noise didn't bother us, as it wasn't that noticeable once in the property or hot tub. Though bathroom tiles needed a good clean and cutlery needed replacing, these were small matters, as the cottage was warm and the beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed our weekend.
What a great place to stay. Handy for the local sights. Great hot tub.
Caroline
Such a lovely place to stay and the owners are so lovely yoo
Absolutly no complaints. Accomodation was as described
Beautiful cottage, perfect location for visiting lots of local attractions. Clean, comfortable and has a hot tub too. Definitely recommend
Yvonne
Two of us stayed at Bramble Grange and had a fabulous week. Hot tub great and relaxing, the owners cleaned it daily. They had a box containing details of local walks, food and drink, taxis and other information that we found helpful. There is a Co op and a pub within walking distance. Also there is a takeaway and a fish shop. Details of places to eat are in the pack of information. The road has been mentioned by other reviews, but it was not a problem for us. You can hear it outside, but when the hot tub is on, its not really noticeable. The cottage has two double beds and can take four people, but four adults may find it small. A very relaxing week. We would definitely consider staying there again.
Situated in a very busy noisy corner at a road junction Bathroom taps on wrong way and very difficult to turn off. Nicky was really nice
Katrina
The cottagebungalow was lovely and clean and the owner, Nicky, was very helpful in explaining where everything was. We had no issues whilst there so only saw Nicky again when we were leaving. Although there is some noise from the road, when in the hot tub you can't really hear this. Also when inside you cannot hear any traffic noise due to the double or maybe triple? glazing. It is only when sitting in the garden that you can hear the traffic and although fairly constant it is not really loud and certainly did not affect our enjoyment. Had a lovely few days at Bramble Grange and would definitely go back again.
Louise
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bramble Grange Nicky was lovely and welcoming Hot Tub was lovely and warm. Fish and chip shop is straight over the road and would highly recommend. Overall great holiday would definitely return.
Jacqui
A lovely little cottage which is centrally located. Lots of great pubs, restaurants and little villages to visit. The hot tub was just the icing on the cake. There is a very informative information pack that gives you all you need to plan a fabulous staycation. We loved it and will definitely be back.
Gaynor
Lovely cottage and will get the 2 complaints out the way first. .. it was booked for a birthday celebration and chosen due to it having a hot tub. My daughters were very excited! Unfortunately the hot tub wasnt available on the first night as they had changed the water from the last visitors and said it would still be cold. I understand that during COVID19 extra precautions are needed but perhaps they should leave a day between each booking so the hot tub is available? They did kindly offer to let us use their hot tub which is located outside their house but it didnt feel private and we felt awkward about using it. The second issue was the duvets on the beds. They are made of plastic and presumably there Incase visitors wet the bed. They are incredibly hot and slide down to the end of the covers in a big lump! We all slept badly on night 1 and in the morning I removed them from the covers and we slept just with sheets over us on night 2. Had I known, I wouldve brought our own duvets and would do so if we returned. Other than that we had an enjoyable stay. It has a lovely courtyard style garden which makes for a very relaxing area on a nice weather day. The little summer house is also cute and a nice addition. We ate our evening meal here. The cottage is well equipped and cosy. The host is lovely and very welcoming x
Gordon
The owners are really nice, friendly and helpful. There when needed and nonintrusive. Storm Ciara hit us while we were down there but we did manage to use the Hot Tub once and it was great.
Natalie
Absolutely lovely little cottage, with a great hot tub and friendly owners. Would definitely visit again!
Matthew
Cottage was very nice and clean. The only reason we booked though was for the hot tub, which was massively disappointing. Was told it was checked and maintained daily on arrival but on the second day in it there was a lot of brown scum and black hairs floating to the top when the bubbles were turned on, nobody in our family has black hair and we certainly aren't unclean and had showered beforehand. On the 3rd day my wife had planned her day around relaxing in the hot tub but when she went to use it and opened the lid it hadn't been cleaned, the water was green and it smelt terribly like cabbage and so was totally unusable. She knocked on the door of the owners but there was nobody in so she called the mobile number supplied to us and there was no answer, so she left a voicemail message. The call wasn't returned so she sent a text to the same number letting them know of the issue but there was no reply at all from the owners so she went out for the day instead. The next morning was checkout. I had a look at the hot tub and it was still in the same condition as the previous day. When handing the key over to the owner, she said that her husband had replied to the text saying that we could use their own hot tub. Neither my wife or I received this text message nor a phone call back regarding this. It wouldn't have been an option anyway due to the lack of privacy. She said that the hot tub should be self cleaning and asked if we had showered before using it or had creams on us that could have caused the issue. It was October so we definitely haven't used any sun creams, plus we have used hot tubs many times and have never experienced this issue before so it was definitely not down to us. Unfortunately, this issue ruined the stay so we wouldn't return. Regards Matthew Mitchell

Second time staying here. It is a beautiful place with a cozy relaxing atmosphere. Hot tub is always a nice bonus to relax in the evening and even being next to a main road never had any problems with noise on a night time. Owners very friendly and helpful, showed us round and then left us to settle in.There was plenty of things to do around us as we had a trip round burton brewery and trip to Twycross zoo which was only a 10min journey. Went bit extra out to the heights of Abraham which was a fantastic day with views. Last time we went in the summer which was great as lots of seating outside in its own little sun trap with a summer house as well, this time of the year we could watch sun going down from hot tub in early evening. Really lovely place for couples and for small families would definitely recommend.
Kayleigh
We had an amazing time, it was a much needed break for us. We absolutely loved the hot tub, the cottage was lovely and homely. Thank you.
Great little cottage set right in the middle of everything. So much to do in the immediate area with families. The hot tub was a huge bonus and great to come back to after long walks in the sun. The owners were great and just left us to it but we knew they were there if we needed anything. Great little extras like milk coffee and tea on arrival. There was a file full of touristy things to do which we found really helpful! Only tiny down side was the bed covers. Plastic duvets which rustled everytime you moved and got wrapped up in. And would have been better with 2 single beds for the kids as they were small and my two couldnt get comfortable. Overall though, a great little place to stay xx
Lovely bungalow ideally situated for visiting many places. Bungalow was lovely and clean with everything you could possibly need. Very inviting hot tub and nice little summer house. Had a lovely relaxing family break. Only downside was that the Internet connection was not very good but this actually meant we spent more family time together.
