The Olive Branch Guest House

About The Olive Branch Guest House

The Olive Branch occupies a sixteenth-century building on Broadway's High Street, close enough to the centre of the village to reach everything on foot within a few minutes, yet quiet enough at the back to sleep well. It has built its reputation as a family-run bed and breakfast, previously recognised in national Best of British Bed & Breakfast awards, largely on the strength of its breakfasts and the attentiveness of its hosts.

All eight bedrooms are ensuite and include a fridge, welcome tray, television and hairdryer, giving a comfortable standard for a guest house of this size, and the full English breakfast served each morning is a genuine highlight for returning guests. The building's age is evident throughout, with low beams and period windows giving each room its own character rather than a uniform, chain-hotel feel.

As a smaller, independently run property, room numbers are limited and it fills up well in advance during the summer months, so early booking is advisable. It suits visitors who want a personal, traditional bed and breakfast experience within walking distance of the High Street rather than a full-service hotel.
