Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Allerford
The Somerset village of Allerford is located in Exmoor National Park, on the banks of the River Aller. Allerford is a delightful village with many historic buildings and landmarks, such as the 15th-century Packhorse Bridge and the Allerford Forge. It is a picturesque place to visit, with thatched cottages, narrow lanes, a forge and an old-fashioned red telephone box. In the village centre, a short stroll from your holiday cottage in Allerford, you will find a post office with a small grocery. A handful of businesses include a blacksmith and a honey farm. Don’t forget to see what’s on at the community-run cinema at Hare Park. Allerford’s best-known landmark is a distinctive medieval packhorse bridge over the river. The village’s other bridge, Allerford New Bridge, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument and listed building. Another interesting landmark is Allerford House, the childhood home of John Moresby, who explored Papua New Guinea and after whom the country’s capital, Port Moresby, was named.

Allerford View is the only self-catering apartment at Bossington Hall near Porlock. This one-bedroom Exmoor holiday apartment with a wet room is listed as ‘accessible’, but it is equally suitable for non-disabled gusts. The adaptions are discrete and unobtrusive. We created this apartment as there are few self-catering properties in the area with facilities like this.
