Description

An Edwardian Gentleman's residence, built in the Arts and Crafts style, by a shipping CEO in 1911 and extended in 1923 for his Grandchildren. Porlock village with its pubs, shops, tea rooms, museums and restaurants is just a mile's easy walk away from our award winning Bed and Breakfast. Or why not take a hearty 45 minute walk along to coast to Porlock Weir's tiny harbour, again with pubs, shops and restaurants? Every room has a very unique character; Heddon Master room is truly vast, with dual aspect views, Greenaleigh has a private lounge, Embercombe is one of our dog friendly rooms, Kinsford has a bath in the bedroom bay window! In the North wing are Ivystone and Kinsford, with roll-top baths, and three en-suites, (Jennifrieds, Martinhoe and Longpool). All our rooms are named from local waters, and there is a framed description in each room. Allerford View is our apartment, which is level access, and has its own web page, as well as its own entrance. A tranquil and serene location, perfect for your staycation weekend, or a walker’s base to explore the Somerset scenery along the South West Coast Path or Coleridge Way. Relax after a long day with our Honesty Bar and read a book from our little library while enjoying the view, or enjoy the Sauna, whatever the weather. Just 5 miles to Minehead by road gives you long sandy beaches and a great Links Golf Course. Practical elements like a Boot Room by the front door and Dog Towels will ensure a seamless break. Outside, you have eight acres of informal garden, a mill pond, shallow river, waterfall and woodland to explore. Boasting expansive lawned areas, tennis and badminton courts & the oldest private Squash court (Grade II listed) in England. Inside we have a touchscreen coffee machine (cappuccinos etc) or you may enjoy a glass of something from the Bar in the picture window of the warm, comfortable lounge so even an inclement day will be wonderful.
