Location
The small hamlet of Allerford is probably most well known for the well-photographed 15th century pack horse bridge and the local National Trust and picture-perfect thatched country cottages, also in nearby Selworthy and Bossington. The larger village of Porlock is a short drive - approx 1.5 miles - less than 5 mins in the car, or approx 30 minutes on foot via quiet country lane, has a selection of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and shops. Minehead is the nearest town, with supermarkets and other shops, approx 10 minute drive.

There are many walks from the doorstep - within easy access is Bossington beach and Porlock Weir or head up onto North Hill or Dunkery Beacon for amazing views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.
