Nestled between Porlock and Minehead on the northern edge of the moor, this tiny settlement of stone cottages and farmsteads sits within one of the finest landscapes in Somerset. The entire hamlet is part of the Holnicote Estate, which has been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1944, preserving its unspoilt character and surrounding woodland, farmland, and open moorland. #### The Village Allerford's packhorse bridge is one of the finest in Somerset, a beautiful twin-arched medieval structure that has been a crossing point for centuries. Beside the bridge stands the former village school, now home to the Allerford Museum, a charming local history collection covering rural life on Exmoor. The hamlet is very small and quiet, with no shop, pub, or other commercial premises -- its appeal lies in its peacefulness and the beauty of its setting. #### Nearby Villages and Services The National Trust showpiece village of Selworthy is just half a mile away, with its famous thatched cottages, medieval church, and wonderful views across the vale to Dunkery Beacon. Porlock, approximately 2 miles west, is a thriving village with a good range of shops, pubs, restaurants, galleries, and a pharmacy. Minehead, approximately 4 miles east, is the nearest town and has supermarkets, banks, and all essential services. For larger shopping, Taunton is approximately 30 miles away. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4930000/4924300/4924299/af110ee1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### go2 portishead marina hotel Bristol - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Housekeeping 8.8 Excellent 681 reviews £44 includes taxes & fees 22 Feb - 23 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=4924299&PinnedHotelID=4924299&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) [Compare similar properties](/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-27&endDate=2026-02-28&selected=107854347&PinnedHotelID=107854347&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2&comparePropertyIds=107854347,4924299) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Pets Pets are allowed Service animals are welcome, and are exempt from fees ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
