Eggs – Fenton Farm in Holcombe Regis, Devon
“Hens reared in traditional free-range flocks lay our eggs. Throughout the day, these hens have access to green pasture, and a natural vegetarian diet is fed to them. Indeed, the excellent conditions in which the hens are kept result in exceptional quality eggs with bright yolks and superior flavour. Independent delis, for instance, Mortimer & Bennett, Partridges, and De Beauvoir Deli, as well as 5 local Waitroses, sell them. In fact, two prestigious Small Producer of the Year awards, sponsored by Waitrose and the Times, have been won by our eggs, claiming the fresh food category & best newcomer award. Next, we also won the British Egg Council’s Small Producer Award. Finally, a Gold medal from Taste of the West has been won by our eggs.”





Sausages and Bacon – Little Oak Farm in Timberscombe, Somerset
“Little Oak Farm, our family-run business, is situated in the heart of Exmoor National Park, Somerset. We produce Rare Breed Middle White Pork from our own herd of Pigs. Naturally, our pigs are born and reared outdoors, and we farm in a traditional and ethical manner to ensure our pigs certainly have high welfare and live a good life while on the farm. Bossington Hall bacon is specially cut by us to their specific requirements.”
Supplier to James Martin Chef
Tea & Coffee – Miles Tea and Coffee, Porlock, Somerset
The name Miles goes back a long way; in fact, tea has been blended by us since 1888. Over the years, gallons of tea and coffee have been drunk, so you can certainly say we know a thing or two about the humble cuppa – we like to think we’re finally able to describe ourselves as experts.
“You may have guessed that we’re pretty passionate about tea and coffee, and the Miles experience can’t be waited to be shared with you. If anyone knows how to make a good brew, it’s us. So pop the kettle on, put your feet up, and enjoy a moment with Miles.”


Fruit and Veg – J&R foods , Exeter, Devon
“J&R Food Service Ltd, a family-run business, is based in Exeter, Devon. For over 30 years, we have successfully traded as a local Food Service wholesaler, reliably delivering Ambient, Chilled, Fresh Produce, Frozen, and Non-Food products to customers across the South West.
Successful relationships have been built by J&R with many local, national, and international suppliers, creating a diverse range of products to suit a wide range of different catering outlets.”
Pastries – Field-Fare
All Butter Croissant
Light and flaky sweet pastry. Made in France to a traditional recipe
Pain au Chocolats
Made in France with a light and flaky pastry and filled with a delicious dark chocolate centre. The perfect treat for breakfast!










Bossington Hall operates as a Bed and Breakfast. To assist you with evening meals, a list of local restaurants can be emailed to you upon request, or Visit Exmoor has a website dedicated to food. Porlock Village is a short 1-mile easy walk away and offers a range of pubs, cafes, and restaurants to choose from. We often find that our award-winning breakfast is so filling that you may not even want lunch.
Although it’s not a full evening meal, a ‘Cheese and Nibbles’ buffet and a coffee maker are now offered by us, ideal if you have had a late lunch or just don’t want to leave!
If you wish to have a take-away, plates and cutlery are, of course, provided by us from the Coffee and Cheese buffet area. Alternatively, why not order a Hamper from Somerset Farmhouse to be delivered to us – you can pick your own here.
Finally, Corkage is not charged by us, despite having a reasonably priced Bar.
Testimonials & Reviews
Where to start! Bossington Hall is not a luxury B&B. It’s in a category all of its own!||Superbly renovated by Guy, its current proprietor and set in stunning gardens with outstanding views over the hills and sea in the distance, a stay here is an unforgettable experience. ||The winding, narrow road leading to the property from the delightful village of Allerford merely hints at what is to come. ||Everything within the building is the essence of elegance from the public areas to the beautifully decorated rooms - however if your room is described as having a “private bathroom” this will not be en suite but adjacent to or opposite your actual room but totally in keeping with the excellent standards of the establishment.||Guests are offered a magnificent breakfast (the mushrooms are a treat as are the croissants). However there is no restaurant for evening meals (nor anywhere within easy walking distance). To compensate for this, guests can purchase cheeses and boxes of Spanish ham & charcuteries together with crackers, wines, beers etc. at very modest prices on an honesty basis by signing a book. More than sufficient for us!||The congenial Guy was only too happy to explain the whole concept behind this ambitious project and we can only wish him and his team every success - more than likely in view of the glowing reviews which encouraged us to book in the first place. - 10/24/2023

Wonderful cosy weekend away in a stunning building with friendly staff 😀 - The property is stunning, nice and secluded with beautiful views. The building has a very homely and cosy feel to it whilst also feeling quite grand. The Kinston room was wonderful, clean and spacious. The cinema room and breakfast hall were also very inviting. 😞 - None - 11/25/2024

The best ‘b&b’ we’ve ever stayed in - stunning property in a stunning location 😀 - Situated in stunning wrap around gardens with views to Exmoor and Porlock harbour, and the property itself is beautiful with so many heritage features. The rooms are grand and the breakfast was very generous. Also loved the honesty box system for their private guests bar and snacks. Location is perfect for walks and very close to Porlock and Dunster … 😞 - Nothing it was all perfect - 5/26/2024

This is a stunning listed building with views over looking the sea and the country side, a perfect setting for a week away. The staff were very friendly and welcoming nothing was to much trouble. Ae room was fantastic, with everything you cold need. The breakfast are to die for lots off choice, and everything well cooked to order. There was so much to do in the local area we never got to do it all so we will have to back for another visit - 7/08/2024

Escape to the country, escape to Bossington Hall Bossington Hall, Guy, Annie and all the staff were most welcoming and we really felt whisked away to a timeless location where we could be at ease in our surroundings. Truly wonderful, tranquil and relaxing. Ample facilities for a B&B which lived up to the description, as most certainly luxurious. We could choose to walk nearby or drive further afield, with all our needs catered for. If you are looking for a quiet country get away with a feeling of exclusivity, I would most certainly recommend. I could even charge my EV | Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort - 7/04/2023

Easy to book and pay on-line here. Questions answered promptly by the owner. Website informative and accurate. This is a lovely luxury B&B in the most wonderful area and setting, rising high above the beautiful villages of Bossington & Allerford. We stayed in the accessible self-catering apartment appropriately named Allerford View. Parking is limited here, but a space is allocated for this booking, with level access to the sheltered courtyard area. The accommodation is generous and well equipped. Starter pack and other items of really high quality & appreciated.Breakfast (if the B&B itself is not full, & check the extra cost) can be arranged, and we were so glad we did, twice. As a special treat after a small Premium Bond win, we had for one night stayed at the Polizzi Hotel Endsleigh near the Devon/Cornwall border. 5* luxury, wonderful gardens, décor & staff…..but….Bossington Hall’s breakfast was better! Eggs, mushrooms and bacon all of better flavour. Perfectly cooked, very hot, and well presented. Continental buffet really excellent and well thought out. Thank you Guy, your staff, and of course Exmoor itself, for yet another wonderful and relaxing holiday. Highly recommended. - 6/24/2023

A brilliant B&B in a stunning location 😀 - An excellent B&B with warm and friendly staff in a stunningly beautiful location. A brilliant place to stay for a walking or cycling holiday, or just a stroll to the local beach. It's also a great place to relax with a terrace overlooking some of the best views in the area. Breakfast was superb. I would strongly recommend Bossington Hall. 😞 - None - 8/22/2024

This was our fourth time returning to Bossington Hall, and we always leave with a plan for our next trip…. Trying to summarise the reasons we love it here so much: Bossington is so tranquil and serene, the rooms are fabulously comfortable and pristinely clean. Every little detail has been considered to make your stay relaxing and comfortable and the breakfasts are incredible. The location is fab and the views from the hall are incredible. Counting the weeks till we are back! - 6/14/2024

Overnight Stay - Thoroughly enjoyable Fantastic overnight stay. Made to feel very welcome upon arrival by the owner who then took us to a great vantage point to take in the stunning views whilst giving us a brief bit of background history surrounding the building. We took our dog who was welcomed greatly. The staff on site were pleasant and polite and on hand to assist with anything we needed. Breakfast was great. Can't wait to return later on in the year. | Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort - 4/19/2022

A cut above the rest A beautiful property, within lovely grounds. Annie who checked me in and showed me around all of the facilities was brilliant, and so helpful. I've stayed in several hotels whilst working in the Minehead area, and this one was a cut above the rest. Will definitely try and stay here again. | Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort - 10/29/2023

Exceptional 😀 - Everything! A beautiful manor house with wonderful gardens. A welcoming host with a simple but good quality selection to create a cold cheese, meats, and olives dinner if you don’t have a car and don’t fancy the short walk to Porlock (which we did not after a big hike on the SW coast path). Absolutely stupendous breakfast which set us up for another day of walking. 😞 - None - 6/14/2024

Beautiful room, stunning view, delicious breakfast 😀 - My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our 3-night stay! There are so many things we like about the hotel: - The garden is beautifully kept - I like how they use robot helping them with it. - The interior is very well kept. So much attention to detail! We love the bar particularly my husband who likes to have a gin and tonic after driving back from dinner. - Our room is spacious and I love the bathtub inside as well as the view by the windows. The bed is wide and super comfy! - The highlight is the breakfast- a lot of hotels we stayed before do not offer fresh fruits but here they offered fresh strawberries and various berries which I look forward to every morning! There is a wide range of breakfast options available, be it continental, English breakfast, pancakes etc. 😞 - Each room is different - some rooms have the private bathroom outside, some are inside the room. There is a helpful map showing layout of each room. Our private bathroom is just opposite our room which we were aware when we booked. The bathroom is well kept and so clean. The only thing is there is a bit of damp smell which I suspect is due to lack of windows…steams could not escape efficiently. I would recommend booking dinner before arrival as the restaurants in town seem to stop serving food by 7.30! So arrive early or book early to avoid disappointment. The owners have a long list of restaurants you can choose from. - 8/12/2024

Wonderful place for a relaxing luxury break 😀 - Gorgeous location within walking distance of the beach, pubs, restaurants and many amazing local walks. Guy also directed us to Dunkery Beacon, a short drive away, and a dark sky reserve where the stargazing is phenomenal. The Hall itself is a splendid building, and the interior has been designed and furnished with incredible attention to detail. Superb bedrooms, huge bathrooms, comfortable lounge areas and a boot room for muddy boots, guests can find complete relaxation here. Breakfast at Bossington is an amazing event, with everything carefully sourced and freshly prepared, really fabulous. We will definitely be back, and would recommend a visit to Bossington Hall to to anyone looking for a relaxing and super-comfortable break in a beautiful part of the world. 😞 - Nothing, loved it all - 3/11/2024

Very comfortable and luxurious property with superb service. Highly recommended! 😀 - Location sublime though a bit far to walk to Porlock in rain for supper. Taxi companies used succesfully though! Breakfast was superb and all the little touches in this high end and interesting property were great. Owner Guy and Anna? went out of their way to explain everything and help make for a very welcome stay. Thank you. Views from bedroom and dining Hall outstanding.....very relaxing. 😞 - Nothing we didnt like! - 3/25/2024
