Weve just returned from a fab weekend in the lakes. The scenary is even more breathtaking than first imagined. We had done much research and decided mainly due to the reviews on here to book the braemount for our trip.
It all started well, we were left with a 4 poster room and a pot of tea which was most welcomed after our long journey. The B&B has a good selection of tourist information so we happily spent time planning our weekend. The wine glasses and DVDs available were also a lovely touch. We agree the breakfasts were lovely and would cater for all tastes!.
However we did feel a few of the basics were lacking, the bathroom was dated and had mouldy grout which was a little off-putting and there seemed residues of mould starting to form on the paintwork and showerhead, the towels were a little old as were our bed linen which looked like it had been washed within an inch of its life and we had the biggest cobweb forming above our 4 poster, this said everything was clean, maybe i was expecting a little too much, however a few replacements and updating which wouldnt be too costly would turn this place into something else.!!!
If your looking for a well run B&B in a great location this is the choice for you, if your looking for something a bit special then maybe this isnt your choice.

we have recently taken over braemount house and would like to inform all that the bedding and towels are now brand new and contract quality, we are now undertaking a sympathetic refurbishment starting with the dining room, little extras are being added such as bathrobes etc to make guests stay that bit more special, we still offer the traditional welcome of tea/coffee and scones or wine for the later arrival and guests old and new can be assurred of a welcome equal to the silver award given
