Allerwater Hall The South West

Architectural grandeur and stylish living

Now, this is a real gem in beautiful Somerset. Freshly refurbished, tastefully and elegantly furnished, in a stunning setting surrounded by National Trust land overlooking Porlock Vale and looking out over the Bristol Channel, this country home pulls together modern comfort with 1920’s elegance. It has everything you want if your plan is just to get away from it all. The extensive gardens at this country house to rent are a nature lovers’ paradise and the grounds hold a tennis-court and football pitch and a tranquil millpond and water garden. Wonderful. With 15 bedrooms and 14 bathrooms this superb property can sleep up to 30 people. It is perfect for corporate retreats, family gatherings or a special celebration.

At the centre of the house is the Big Room, the family sitting room with space to entertain but with its comfortable sofas and handy coffee tables, it is a great place to gather for afternoon tea or to sip a postprandial brandy while putting the world to rights into the wee small hours. Or why not chill out in the reading room? There are loads of board games and a large screen TV to keep everyone entertained. One of the best things about this property is that it takes relaxation to a new level!

Guest Review

Absolutely beautiful place with a grand interior, fantastic views, and lovely owners. We stayed here for my Mum's 70th birthday weekend. There was 22 of us in all, and with so many bedrooms and bathrooms, everyone had their own space. There is a games room, pool room, huge dining room and a very large, but cosy lounge with a massive fire place. I'd highly recommend this place for a large group stay.

Thank you for all of your assistance during the booking process! Your kindness, knowledge and helpfulness were greatly appreciated! Many of our group commented and agreed that despite the great photos and descriptions of Allerwater Hall and the surrounding areas it just didn't do it justice! The house was simply gorgeous well equipped and with excellent facilities. There were so many walks and day trips by car from this location that we thought we should've stayed for two weeks!

Food for the body and the soul

This is a great property for self-catering. There’s a main well-appointed kitchen with a range induction Smeg cooker, two dishwashers, a wine fridge and all the cutlery, crockery, glasses, pans and utensils you will ever need! Plus there’s an additional smaller kitchen. So if rustling up a gourmet meal is your thing, this is just the place. If you’d rather someone else did all the work, we work in partnership with some of the best local caterers who can offer locally sourced food or, if you’d rather find your own, that’s fine by us. The dining room can comfortably seat 30 people so there’s plenty of room for everyone, Of course, you are just a mile and a half away from the lovely village of Porlock, with its pubs, restaurants and teashops.

Dream a little dream of me…

One of the wonderful things about the sleeping arrangements here is that there is a lot of flexibility to suit most parties. There are six bedrooms with king-sized beds, two rooms that are twin only and seven that can be used as twins or zipped together to make comfortable double beds. In all there are fourteen bathrooms (four en suite); one with disabled accessibility and seventeen loos. The other great thing is that the bedrooms are pure style, opulence and luxury – the house pulls off the magnificent trick of combining modern comfort with 1920’s elegance. Upstairs you will find the games room with a large flat-screen telly complete with PlayStation 4 and DVD – ideal for the kids.
