The Brambles

Amazed at the size of the bungalow Kitchen, dining room and living room are such good sizes and very comfortably furnished Bedrooms good sizes but mattress on double bed just a little too soft so we used the two singles which are firmer Bathroom small and would have preferred a walk in shower to a bath but that is just a personal preference Courtyard garden was lovely to sit out in with a cuppa and the dogs loved the enclosed field at the side of the bungalow - our dogs are quite large so they couldn't get out but perhaps need to emphasise the gardens are not escape proof for smaller dogs.

We have family in the area and our host was most generous in encouraging them to visit and for the grandchildren to explore the farm and use the games room - Alice even provided food for granddaughter to feed the hens. Granddad got the chance to do some bonding with grandson over the football game in the games room which was nice. I have to mention this is an area known for its hunting and shooting so I had to check with host that there would be none of this happening near the farm during our stay - this would have been a problem for us personally but might not be an issue for other guests. All in all Sprotts Farm gave us and our dogs a relaxing few days away

The property is in a fabulous location and was just what we look for in a home away from home.

It has been designed for holiday makers and their dogs, with easily clean floors and secure area where the dogs can securely go outside without the worry that they will go somewhere they shouldn't. We loved being able to walk through the woods to a pub and access to shops was also good. We loved the area and all the well looked after foot paths, another "must" for us going on holiday. My thanks to the owners for quickly sorting out the confusion when we arrived late in the evening to find someone else had mistakenly settled into the cottage for the night which was very quickly and amicably resolved. On the down side, one of the doors into the kitchen doesn't have a handle on one side, which if the door closes, you can be locked out of the cottage. This did happen to us, however we had left another external door open so where able to get in, but we were very early on aware that this could happen so were mindful of trying to ensure we never closed it. The kitchen could benefit by having more things in it, glasses, in particular, and I bought a tin-opener as the one there didn't work. The fridge in the kitchen I don't think works properly, so used the one in the utility room and some of the hot plates aren't that great. Despite these, which we viewed as niggles, the beds were super comfy and the heating was fabulous. Stepping in and out of the shower in the bath can be a bit difficult for those who have balance issues. We loved the cottage and thank the owners for enabling us to have a wonderful stay.

Stunning cottage.

As shown on pictures. Would highly recommend.
