What a wonderful place! What a wonderful place. We arrived in the early evening and having settled in, sat on the terrace, with its long unobstructed view of Porlock Vale, to watch the sun set into the sea while enjoying a glass of wine. The bedroom and bathroom were both generously sized and very comfortably equipped. So much so that on Saturday afternoon, for the first time in my life, I fell asleep in a wonderfully comfortable armchair. The house itself is a beautiful, classic country house, lovingly maintained and extremely clean and comfortable throughout. The extensive garden was a delight with its tennis and squash courts and provided a very pleasant walk with long views of open rural countryside. Breakfast was a great treat: a buffet for cereals, yoghurts, fresh fruit and toast, followed by a wonderful selection of marvellously cooked breakfasts, served by an accomplished waitress. A memorable start to the day. I recommend Bossington Hall to anyone who wishes to enjoy glorious traditional rural England from the comforts of a country house.

What an idyllic place to stay in one of the most beautiful stretches of UK coastline. If you like coastal hikes, stunning English countryside, ancient small villages, and characterful pubs filled with locals and their dogs, then this area is for you. You can do no better than to stay at Bossington Hall - a magnificent country house, exquisitely restored, so it is extremely comfortable as well as impressively grand. We were very well looked after and will return for more at some point.

An absolutely fabulous place to stay, fully deserving of its recent award. The location is simply stunning. The view across Porlock Bay in the evening sunshine from the terrace is amazing. It's a beautiful building too (both inside & out), with an interesting history. Our room was very comfortable and the breakfast was lovely. We were extremely well looked after at all times. We will definitely return as soon as possible!We recently returned for our second stay at Bossington Hall and we will definitely be back for a third!It truly is a special place, in a beautiful location - the view from the terrace (and our room) is simply stunning.

We can't recommend Bossington Hall enough, what a wonderful setting for a relaxing mini break. The hall itself is so welcoming, airy and impeccably clean. Our room had countryside views and was beautifully presented. After a wonderfully peaceful nights sleep Annie had prepared a fabulous breakfast, we chose from the buffet and ordered our hot food which was freshly prepared. The coast path is a short walk away and Porlock is a mile or so for a lovely evening meal. We loved the friendliness of the place and the honesty bar with drinks, cheese and biscuits. Thank you Guy for your hospitality, well definitely be returning!
