Bracken House Country Hotel

Formerly a rectory, Bracken House has been converted into a small hotel without losing the general ambiance of a country house. It is delightfully situated in its own little world of eight peaceful acres, with streams and ponds.

The garden attracts lots of birds regular nuthatches, housemartins, ravens, occasional woodpeckers, buzzards circling overhead, and elusive wild tawny owls. It is also home to our resident injured owls. Grey wagtails frequent the pond, mallards and moorhens breed, and early risers may catch a heron or kingfisher.

Located at 750 feet above sea level, there are magnificent views over rolling hills and wooded combes to the Taw Estuary and Hartland Point in the far distance. Our bedrooms vary quite a lot, one was the rectors, one was his dressing room, another was the guest room where the Bishop would stay. They all have ensuite facilities including toilets and washbasins; six have baths with showers over whilst the other two have walk-in showers.
