Aluric's Hall

It was a joy to spend a 2nd holiday at historic Aluric's Hall, after a 2 week stay 2 years ago.

We love the spacious interior and its interesting yet comfortable furniture and creative artefacts. It's very relaxing sitting in the garden with a nearby flock of sheep and swallows for company. The internal wooden shutters and thick stone walls enabled us to keep downstairs nice and cool even in mid-30 C temperatures,

What a fabulous place to stay!

The rural location, space, comfort and quirkiness of the property was delightful.

Amazing old hall in a beautiful setting but with all mod cons.

Huge rooms full of character, really comfy beds. Angie the caretaker contacted us the first evening to check all was well for us. Bottle of port, box of chocolates and flowers to greet us was a lovely touch.

This is a very special place to stay.

The age and structure of the property were a real wow factor and it is beautifully furnished. I really enjoyed just being in the property. The feeling of space in the bedrooms is very relaxing.

The house is amazing, if a bit overwhelming, on first sight.

It is advertised as a medieval building and it really lives up to this with its furniture and fittings but is still very comfortable especially the beds.

Alurics Hall is a lovely, peaceful cottage with lots of lovely walks and things to do right on the doorstep.

The cottage itself has very comfortable bedrooms and wonderfully clean bathrooms and kitchen. The TV room could do with a little updating, especially the sofa and chairs which are a little uncomfortable. The main lounge is huge and comfy, it could just do with a good dust, especially the sofa. All in all we had a lovely week and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Many thanks to Angie for all her help for making our stay even better.

A wonderful and peaceful place to stay, with a unique atmosphere.

Such a beautiful old building with wonderful furnishings. Dark skies and silence at night and lambs and rooks in the sunshine. The port and chocolate were very much appreciated and the eggs too from the hens in the barn. Everything you need for a peaceful and unique place to stay. Great base for exploring the wonderful coast paths and beacons of Exmoor. Thank you for the opportunity to stay at Aluric's Hall, we loved reading all the history about it too.

We arrived, and before unpacking the car we went down to collect the key and have a look round.

Our first impression was that Aluric's Hall was really huge and spacious. It was in a lovely quiet area surrounded by farmland. We did walks direct from the cottage including through some gorgeous woodland into Minehead for fish and chips and back via parks and Albert's Way.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this beautiful house with it’s long history.

The attention to detail was incredible. The bottle of port, chocolate and flowers were well received. We loved seeing the sheep in the orchard at the front and the chickens in the back. The area is beautiful and great for walking.

A hidden gem: unique place with a rich history.

Beautifully decorated, high quality. Panoramic views, friendly sheep. Peace and quiet, arcadic surroundings. A good starting point to explore the region. Elaborate information available. Very friendly and helpful housekeeper, and shepherd/artist. A privilige to stay in Aluric’s House, we grew quite attached to it!

We enjoyed our week at Aluric Hall.

It was a very interesting and different place to stay. It had lovely surroundings and good parking for 2 large cars. There were many lovely places to explore in the area.

Very roomy and well equipped accommodation with great historical character.

Set in beautiful quiet country setting.

Fantastic property.

Very clean and everything you need. Good location. Very large rooms and bathrooms. Could not fault this property at all. Would highly recommend and would definitely book again

This is an excellent holiday property.

The renovation of the lovely old building feels like a labour of love. It is comfortable, clean, well-equipped and very spacious. The location is tranquil and relaxing, with walks directly from the property. There are plenty of interesting places to visit nearby, including Minehead, Dunster, Porlock and Exmoor, with no shortage of good cafes and tea gardens. We booked for 5 nights, but liked it so much that we added a further week!

Great property, exactly as described.

Could only be improved by provision of mains socket for hairdryer by mirror and shaver socket in Suite 1 and outside drying facility for laundry.

It would be nice to have a mirror in the main bedroom.

My wife was too short to use the one in the bathroom. Overall the property was perfect for four old codgers wanting a bit of peace and quiet. Sitting in the garden with a jug of Pimms and sun beating down on us was ideal.

An elegant house in quiet country, well maintained and welcoming

Excellent accommodation - the historic buildings are well-appointed, well-maintained and welcoming.

The architecture, furniture and decor combine to convey a very comfortable impression of centuries of domestic occupation. Easy to relax into! Within convenient reach of local services in Minehead, and well situated for the Somerset coast and Exmoor, but also a lovely place to simply relax and enjoy.

We had a lovely time at this amazing property.

It is spacious and has so much character but still managed to be cosy and so welcoming. It is very well equipped and the kitchen has everything you could need. The beds are super comfortable and the lounge was an ideal place to relax. The grounds are lovely and we are already missing watching the baby lambs in the paddock by the front door. There are many nearby places to visit, loved Porlock and Watchet in particular. We would recommend this house without hesitation. Special mention to Angie, the housekeeper, who was super helpful.

This has to be one of the best properties I have stayed in, of which there have been many and the perfect place to spend Christmas.

Angie the Housekeeper prepared the house to perfection and could not have been more helpful. Aluric’s Hall offers a rare opportunity to stay in a medieval home furnished to a high specification with antiques and artwork surrounded by beautiful countryside and wonderful walks. This is one for the connoisseur and the sort of property usually found on a specialist site at more than double the price so very tempted to keep this a secret but don’t feel that’s fair to the owners who went over and above to make everything so perfect. Roland provided us with an unlimited amount of wood for the fire (all included in the price) and the extremely talented Clare made all our Christmas decorations including some using wool from her very friendly sheep. I never write reviews as having spent many years in the hospitality industry always manage to find fault and cause to complain but this is a real gem book it whilst you can before the secret get out.

Had a lovely week in this well presented and immaculately clean lovely old house which was very well equipped.

A perfect stay for two couples with a spacious kitchen, lovely lounge and two large en suite bedrooms. We much appreciated the port, chocolates and flowers which were a lovely touch. The house is situated in peaceful countryside with walks close by and near to the beautiful village of Dunster.

We had a wonderful week in this lovely house which is even more beautiful and spacious than it looks in the photos!

It’s perfect for two couples as the two bedrooms and bathrooms are equally comfortable and inviting. The house is generously equipped and was beautifully prepared by Angie. The flowers, chocolates and other treats on arrival were a lovely touch. The location is ideal for walkers as there are many lovely walks straight from the house including a very pleasant walk to Minehead. We also enjoyed trips to Exmoor, East Quantoxhead and Lytnton and Lynmouth. All in all it’s one of the nicest holiday homes we’ve stayed in and we hope to return.

The house was immaculately clean when we arrived - thank you to Angie, the housekeeper.

The fresh flowers, port and chocolates were a lovely welcoming gift as well. This is more a cherished home than a holiday let. All of the furnishings and artwork have been lovingly chosen to enhance the historical features of the house and there is every modern comfort that you could wish for. The kitchen is very well equipped and the super king sized bed was so comfortable. We were half expecting the house to be a little chilly, considering its great age and the size of the rooms, but the heating was very efficient and there was always plenty of hot water. We lit the log burner every evening and we were very cosy - there is also a plentiful supply of logs. If you are looking for peace and quiet this is an ideal location. Apart from the rooks nest building and visits from Clare's flock of sheep in the orchard there was no other noise. Absolute bliss. This is an exceptional property - the best we've stayed in - and we booked a return visit for the autumn as soon as we were home. Many thanks to the owners for a very special stay.

Beautiful rural property, ideally situated for a peaceful relaxing holiday.

Walking , mountain biking all from the doorstep and a pleasant walk to minehead too.Very Comfortable beds, beautiful large spacious bedrooms and bathrooms and living spaces. Well equipped kitchen with good quality appliances with everything you need. The pictures really do not do this Beautiful property justice it is truly stunning, we will definitely be back. Thankyou.
