The Brampton Inn not only met but exceeded our expectations for a relaxing getaway. The Mulberry cottage was private, quiet, and beautifully appointed. We had plenty of space and the amenities you would expect at a big 5 star hotel. Attention to detail was noted everywhere you looked. The Manor House is beautifully decorated and offered more space to sit, relax and enjoy the property.
