A Bed and Breakfast for Cycling in Somerset from Porlock

October 19, 2016 by Clive Leave a Comment

I spent a great weekend recently in Porlock, Somerset. A group of us used it as a base for two days cycling on Exmoor and south east of Minehead. I’ll write up the trip in more detail later but this is a short post to highlight the Bed and Breakfast where we stayed.

Finding a place to stay for a group of six guys isn’t always easy but this time we used our ‘old friends network’ and stayed in Rose Bank House in the village.

Rose Bank Guest House is a high quality B & B positioned on the high street of the pretty Exmoor village of Porlock.

It’s a great place to stay!

Old friends network?

Well, my friends Chris and Sue bought the B and B in summer 2016. Rather a career change for them and it’s hard work but they seem to be enjoying it and have big plans for the place.

It is a great place to stay though. Not only do you get a fab welcome from Chris and Sue but the B and B has some great pubs and restaurants on its doorstep in Porlock village. For example, the B & B is just a few yards from The Ship Inn and from Piggy in the Middle restaurant (great pies).

And there’s Exmoor, of course. A few miles up the road and you are right in the National Park.

So, if you need somewhere to stay in Exmoor, Porlock is a great location. I’m biased of course but you will get a great welcome at Rose Bank.
