“A charming country house turned upmarket B&B with breathtaking views both over Exmoor and the Somerset coast. Six smartly done bedrooms offer super comfy beds and luxurious amenities; not all are en-suite, but all have a private bathroom. Plus there's a tennis court and cinema. Rural bliss!”

Hotel review

Bossington Hall is a charming country house which has been expertly converted into a smart, family-friendly B&B. Enjoying a stunning rural location with breathtaking views from its elevated location (both over the coast at Porlock Weir, and over Exmoor in the other direction), it is ideal for anyone in search of a slice of peace and tranquility in South West England. The six rooms have been individually designed and whilst they don't all have an en suite bathroom (they do all have a private bath or shower room), the attention to detail and top notch amenities do not disappoint; and several enjoy epic sea views. The family suite can comfortably accommodate two adults and two children, and with on-site facilities including a tennis court, cinema and the oldest private squash court in England, there really is something for everyone! Breakfast is a hearty affair, and though there is no dining option here, there's a great restaurant just half a mile away. A great base whether you want to explore the delights of Exmoor or the coast.
