This was our first stay at a B&B and certainly will not be our last. The rooms were beautiful, the service excellent and the breakfasts delicious. We will certainly be staying at the Brambles again.

Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your review. We are always looking for ways to improve our guests experience. Each review, both good and those that are not so good, gives us the opportunity to address and correct things that may be a problem. We do however, respectfully disagree with this guest's opinion on the smell of mold that they noted as they entered the house. During the five years that we have been in business we have never had a guest or family/friends make comments or complain about any odd smells. Once again, we do appreciate your comments and we will be adding aromatherapy sticks to our guest rooms to assure that each guest will be met with a lovely aroma. In addition, we are changing the exterior parking light to a motion detector so that any problems caused by the brightness of the light will be alleviated. We do serve a full country breakfast each morning and the menu is different on a daily basis. We apologize that you were not served eggs the morning that you were with us. Thank you again...

- Eleanor (Innkeeper)

Photo Album

Grand dining room at The Brambles. Guests dine in style under the formal chandelier and original plaster medallion. Our large stepback cupboard features a collection of family antique china. Formerly this room was used as an office by Judge Henry Liberty Knowles, original owner/builder of this home in 1842.Original cooking hearth and fireplace in the Brambles kitchen. To the right behind the ladderback chair is the original brick beehive baking oven. "Lucy" is settling down for a nap in her favorite spot...right beside the warm fire.
View from the second living room into the first formal living room. Depicted above the large pocket doors are hand-painted murals of local historic scenes.One of two canary yellow living rooms at The Brambles. This sitting area is anchored by the original marble fireplace and comfortable red sofas. Red toile drapes are accented with vintage bird prints and heirloom needleworks. The rooms are finished with beautiful antique oriental carpets.
Our lovely Knowles Room located on the first floor of Brambles Inn and Gardens.The Thomas Clark room is the largest and sunniest room at the Brambles Inn.
The cheery Garden Room is painted a refreshing green.
