What people are saying about Browns Holbeck




Summary
5

Welcoming, comfortable- Rating 5/5

Joan was very welcoming, as was the room. Everything we needed including a fridge to put our picnic supper and table and chairs for eating it. The room was spacious, bed very comfortable and very thoughtful ideas: a top sheet as well as duvet (I wish hotels would get that idea); mugs and cups/saucers and fresh milk all got top marks.We were able to walk to Welbeck Abbey (where we had a great tour and rum tastings at Dropworks), using rural lanes.We enjoyed our short stay at Browns and hope to return.

A wonderful place to stay - Rating 5/5

We had a lovely stay here and we would definitely visit again. Joan was a kind, friendly and thoughtful host who made us feel very welcome. Our room was comfortable and clean with the bonus of a huge bed! Joan had thought of everything a weary traveller would need, including slippers, robe, toiletries, fridge with milk, plenty of tea and coffee and biscuits, bottle opener and even an umbrella and torch for an evening walk! There is a lovely designated terrace seating area for each room which is peaceful with pretty garden views. Browns was easy to find with a clear parking place for each room. Our breakfast was the tastiest and most beautifully prepared we have ever had in a BnB so thank very much Joan for our fantastic visit and we hope to see you again x

Serenity - Rating 5/5

This was our return visit, the first was 16 years ago. Very exciting for us to catch up with Joan again, she was so welcoming and as before, gave us great recommendations for the local area (walks, pubs, areas to visit etc.). The accommodation is extremely comfortable, along with an excellent freshly prepared full breakfast, and in such beautiful gardens and surroundings. We just loved the forest walk down to Cresswell Crags, the museums and coffee shops. Let's hope we can return once again.

Lovely place, friendly welcome - Rating 5/5

I was needing a place to stay close to the Welbeck estate and was recommended Browns. It is a lovely place, with independent rooms and a welcoming host who has loads of knowledge about the local area and quickly got us set up with an evening meal in a pub nearby. And, being less than a mile from the Welbeck courtyard it was perfectly located.My room was clean, warm and cosy and well maintained. I'd come back again if in the area.

Peaceful stay in beautiful part of the country - Rating 5/5

I so enjoyed a one-night stay at Browns. Joan was friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The comfortable garden room was complete with thoughtful touches, including a fan, dressing gown, plenty of hangers, and even mending kits. Joan also generously offered me a lift to the School of Artisan Food where I was studying. Thank you for your hospitality, Joan!

Amazing, cosy and serene- Rating 5/5

Browns was recommended to me by someone I was visiting locally.I wasn’t disappointed. Joan is a wonderful welcoming host and has thought of everything. The location is wonderful, so peaceful and my garden room (3) was amazing with a four poster bed.Lots of variety on the tea and coffee tray with biscuits and even welcome chocolates.The bathroom has a full size bath which is such a luxury.I’ll definitely be back.

It was what I had hoped it would be from seeing the photos. - Rating 5/5

Browns Holbeck is in a lovely spot and I was very happy with the accommodations. I had some travel problems due to Storm Babet and Mrs. Brown was extremely helpful in getting the issue resolved. The breakfast was excellent, the best I've had in 3 weeks of travel.
