I was warmly welcomed by the owner, Alison, who showed me to very comfortable accommodation with an invigorating shower and extremely comfortable bed which was sorely needed after a long day. I took the opportunity, at Alison's recommendation to go for a circular walk which comprised of just over 2miles and took in some scenic landscapes along the way. Breakfast was tremendous and allowed for conversing with 2 other guests who are repeat customers and i can see why.

Deep in The Countryside - Lovely Views. Very clean
The room was so well provisioned that we had to put some items on the floor, so we could put all our bits and pieces out. Spotlessly clean and a large shower, not one of those little cubicles you can hardly turn round in. Lovely views across the countryside from the back garden. There is a farm next door and I expected a lot of noise from the pigs, but they only squealed a bit in the evenings, nothing in the morning at all. Possibly they are late risers. Definitely take the recommended route from the M5. Devon C roads really are C roads - if you drive a wide sports car or Chelsea tractor, you might have trouble.

Family of 3 very happy!
Family of 3 and this was perfect. We throughly enjoyed our 2 night stay. The annexe is delightful, wonderfully clean and a lovely rural location. Service was all we could ask for, very friendly and informative. Good communication before our stay. Plenty of supplies provided. Food from the local pub was good too. We would definately stay again.
Garden View was beautiful!

Stayed last summer and came back this autumn. Lovely location, nice comfortable rooms with good selection of coffee, tea and snacks in the room which are a nice touch after a long drive. Friendly and helpful owners too.

Relief from a crazy time
So happy to discover Brambles, Alison and David made us welcome on our arrival, and their genuine friendliness helped make our stay a real treat. A superb varied breakfast started our day after a restful sleep in the cosy bedroom. High standard of cleanliness throughout and we fell in love with the garden and surrounding views. We look forward to staying again.

Absolutely beautiful place, really tranquil, and it made for a wonderful and romantic stay. We were only there for 1 night, but it was lovely, and the waking up to the gorgeous garden outside our window made for a lovely morning. The Lady whom took us to our room was very pleasant, made us feel welcome and helped us with directions to town, by supplying us with a map and directions herself. Overall, ever though getting there was a little bit tricky, that couldn't be solved by the accommodation. The stay was amazing, made us feel so relaxed, and was especially beautiful! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

If you are looking for the experience of life in a beautiful English country home, this is the B and B for you. The home itself is beyond charming - it's remarkable. The gardens are lovely and the whole environment is wonderful. It's somewhere you'll never want to leave. The owners are more than friendly - they make you feel at home. The attention to detail in the rooms, the home cooked breakfast, the overall experience is something I'll never forget.

Quiet & Quaint, Perfect
Quaint bnb not far off the beaten track, and received directions by mail once the booking was made. Quiet location, constant heat if needed as winter was approaching. Rooms are off the main house in a detached annex, secure, private and ample parking. Would return if in the area again. Very reasonable cost although I opted for ex breakfast rate so can’t comment on breakfast. Happy guest 😀

Home comforts with stunning view!
Brambles is a lovely bed and breakfast. We only stayed one night but would have liked to have stayed an extra night. David and Alison very welcoming and accommodating (especially at Breakfast). We stayed in the garden room and woke up to a stunning view. The room it’s self is comfortable with everything you need. I would highly recommend this bed and breakfast and if we visit Tiverton or nearby again I would definitely stay here.

Great B and B.
Super nice hosts. Great views . Wonderful garden. Room was well decorated with tea, coffee and lots of other drinks. Bottled water, biscuits, sweets and savoury snacks. Brilliant. Perfect place to stay. Near the M5 but also in the countryside. Good for Exmoor and not so far from the coast.

A lovely B&B even when it was only B!
Alison and David were very friendly and there was lots of details which made this stay excellent - fresh milk for drinks, a wide choice of hot drinks and nibbles, wine glasses, lovely soft bath sheets, an excellent shower, efficient heating which was easy to control. All was spotlessly clean and serviced every day. Unfortunately, they were having a few days off from doing breakfast but Alison rang me as soon as we made the booking to explain this and offer free cancellation. I am so glad we didn’t cancel. We are quite likely to return as it is a convenient place to overnight on the way to Cornwall from the Midlands.

Relaxing stay at the Brambles Bed and Breakfast
Met at the door by the owner who was immediately helpful and courteous. Explained where to park our car and where our room was. The kettle had already been put on to boil and cups, biscuits and a choice of hot drinks were awaiting us. The room was bright and airy and spotlessly clean as was the ensuite - clean fluffy towels supplied along with sHampton etc. All in all very impressed with the room and level of service.

Comfortable and clean.
I had an excellent and friendly welcome. The room was nicely furnished, comfortable and clean. We stayed for 4 nights, the room was maintained for us and lights left on for when we returned in the evening which was welcoming. Lots of nice small touches that make a difference. All we needed was included. Towels, flannels and bedding were all soft and smelt nice.

A little gem of a B&B
We were so pleased to have discovered Brambles during a visit to the Exeter area. We had 2 rooms booked and I knew we were in good hands when Alison and David, the owners, emailed us with detailed directions and some information ahead of our arrival. The rooms are in the annexe to their home, down a country lane. The rooms were comfortable and every comfort was available: hair dryer, extra blanket, kettle with basket full of teas, coffees, etc, large TV, torch even! Everything was spotless. The rooms face a garden and so are very quiet. The country lane seems to have very little traffic. Breakfast consisted of juice, tea and coffee, then a choice of yoghurts and cereals, plus a cooked breakfast to order. David and Alison clearly take pride in their B&B and were friendly, welcoming hosts. We would highly recommend Brambles.

Perfect stopover
We were travelling to Cornwall with our daughter and 2 year old grandson and looking for a convenient stopover. We couldn't have made a better choice. The location is easily accessed from the M5 with David's excellent directions. The welcome was warm and the introduction to our rooms comprehensive. We had adjacent rooms in the annexe. Both were extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The Garden Room with it's twin aspect was particularly attractive. Breakfast was of a high standard. The bonus for us was the outside space and play equipment which kept our grandson amused and allowed us to relax.
