"We had such a lovely time. The hospitality, the accommodation and the food made our honeymoon very memorable. Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness in making our weekend one that we will always remember with fondness. As innkeepers, you are excellent. The amenities were all nice touches and the food was excellent. The presentations and the menus were delicious. We were so pleasantly surprised with the whole weekend and we felt that we got more than we dreamed. "

Brambleberry is the Scottish name for blackberry, which our B&B is named after. They are wonderful for making jams and wine.
