1. Bragborough Hall

Bragborough is within walking distance of some great pubs so round off your day at the nearby canal-side Admiral Nelson, Braunston.
Traditional countryside luxuries sit alongside modern facilities here, so your stay will be comfortable, spacious, and private. A complimentary hamper will be waiting for you on arrival.
Bragborough Hall itself has a wonderful history, having contributed significantly to the country’s war efforts in the past.
