    The breakfast was excellent. We had a cooked breakfast but there were so many choices of cereal, juices, yoghurts, Danish pastries. There was a really extensive choice.

    My second stay at Brambles was every bit as good as the first. Alison was very welcoming and every detail was thought of to make my room and stay comfortable. The full English breakfast was a treat. A peaceful location with lovely countryside...

    Really pleasant owners who really made me very welcome. They were able to supply the dreaded phone lead that I had left at home. Lovely warm room ,comfy bed and great shower. What's not to like. Very many thanks

Although a quiet rural hamlet, Whitnage is only 1/2 a mile from the main road and just two miles from the M5 and Tiverton Parkway railway station. The town centre is less than ten minutes and we have a choice of 4 or 5 places to eat locally, a local shop and a regular bus service within a mile. Junction 27 offers easy access to Cullompton, Exeter, Taunton and Wellington and the A361 for Barnstaple, Exmoor and North Devon. The local pub (The Redwoods Inn) is just over half a mile and guests regularly walk to and from (weather permitting). We have had reports of SAT NAV systems suggesting strange routes (!) so we advise following the directions we provide for the last mile or so of your journey. We routinely offer a choice of rates 'with and without breakfast' however on a few occasions breakfast is not available (for example during family holidays). If only one rate is displayed, it will be 'room only' (without breakfast). When two rates are displayed, one is the 'room only' option and the other (with the 'breakfast included' icon) is the 'bed and breakfast' rate. It is always best to contact us direct if you are unsure, have any questions or specific requirements for your stay.
