Counrty House with Bed and Breakfast - Near Exmoor, North Devon

Bracken House, formerly known as The Old Rectory, is situated on the edge of the popular North Devon village of Bratton Fleming. It is within easy driving distance of the spectacular coast, Exmoor and many other local attractions, including National Trust properties, gardens at RHS Rosemoor, Castle Hill, Marwood and Tapeley Park. We are very proud to have recently been awarded a Four star Silver Award and Breakfast Award from Quality in Tourism (February 2012) for our three ensuite Bed and Breakfast rooms.

We have two double ensuite rooms and a twin ensuite room for bed and breakfast available throughout the year. The twin can be converted to a double as well if required. One of the doubles is on the ground floor and is suitable for wheelchair use. Ramps are also available into the house if needed.

We have named the rooms after characters in P G Wodehouse's novels as his uncle was Rector here from 1875 to 1913 and it is known that he stayed in this house. It is thought that he was inspired to create some of the formidable young women in his books by basing them on his cousin who went on to become Mistress of Girton College. She was, by all accounts, extremely strong willed herself. Perhaps he also dreamt up the characters of Jeeves, Wooster and Anatole whilst he stayed here?
