Brampton Dales Farm

Stayed a night at this b and b famous for it's winning appearance on TVs Four in a Bed It didn't disappoint with its cosy atmosphere , extremely genial owner and an absolute five star breakfast..crispy bacon, proper mushrooms( not tinned!) etc etc. Even met Ronnie and Reggie, the ' 'tame'sheep If I had any suggestions, the price is very reasonable but possibly could add on a fiver and provide a couple of small packets of biscuits and a wider range of tea such as herbal. Incidentally these extras could include a shower cap .my wife's suggestion not mine!

We visited this lovely little B&B spontaneously prior to a day looking round Hemswell Antiques Centres, which we normally do annually and drive up/down in one day. This was the best move we could ever have made. The farm itself is in a very quiet little village so there is absolutely no noise whatsoever. We were warmly welcomed by B&B owner Hugh and shown up to our upstairs room ‘Sun Rise’ which was so cosy and warm. The chintzy decor and little quirks like the commemorative memorabilia and unique wallpaper design really make this place so special. We quickly settled in and made use of the TV and facilities. Milk, tea, coffee and hot chocolate powder are also all in the room, though unfortunately the milk was sour so we couldn’t use that for a tea or coffee, but we were not going to be complaining because everything else was so perfect. The room was so warm to the extent we did have to turn the radiator down but on top of that the bed was so unbelievably comfortable. The following morning we went down to breakfast - the time of which was completely flexible - and Hugh served us up the most beautiful home cooked breakfast with local ingredients. One of the best me and my girlfriend have ever tasted, and the breakfast room is so beautifully and tastefully decorated too. Had a fascinating chat with Hugh too about his experience of being on (and winning!) Channel 4’s Four in a Bed, 3 years ago, which he so rightfully deserved. Without question we will be coming back here. An absolute bargain at £68 for the night, and worth every penny.

Returned today after a 3 night stay, loved… loved… LOVED this place, what’s not to like!!! Best bed I’ve ever slept in, very quirky decor ( like going to my Gran’s house), animals meet you at breakfast, ( hi ya Ronnie and reggie and mummy hen) breakfast was delicious, I’m already looking to book for later in the year, 5 * 👍🏻
