Dreamy luxury Edwardian B&B in Somerset named one of the best in the UK

A luxury Edwardian bed and breakfast in Porlock has scooped up two awards in one night. Bossington Hall- which was built in 1911 and only recently converted into a bed and breakfast - won both a Taste of the West Award and Editor’s Choice from the Good Hotel Guide.

Bossington Hall is nestled just a few miles away from Minehead with eight acres of garden and lovely views over Bossington Bay. Visitors can make use of the Hall's bar, sauna, and massage therapy sessions on offer.

Co-owner Guy said: "Winning these awards has been a culmination of years of very hard work and long hours, having been thrust into the hospitality trade, my team members have all worked together to help me build this amazing business, and this shows that we must be doing something right”

“We are incredibly proud of this award in particular, as it showcases the South West’s champion products, from Pasties to Jam to B&B’s”

In relation to the Good Hotel Guide Editor’s Choice, he added: "This is a real honour - the Guide only includes places that have had outstanding reviews and we can only thank our guests who have spent valuable time writing reviews for the Guide.”

Winning the Taste of the West award was a true challenge involving a 'secret shopper' coming to stay at the hall and assessing everything from the quality of the sausages to the shower. The award was given out at a glossy ceremony in Exeter attended by over 500 people earlier this week.

John Sheaves, Chief Executive of Taste of the West, said: “To see so many businesses represented in one room from our sector makes me feel incredibly proud of what this industry has achieved in recent years. This was the largest gathering of the South West regional food and drink awards to date in the history of the programme and our sincere congratulations go to all the finalists and overall champion winners.

"Celebrating with so many businesses and supporters, including our sponsors, is particularly special and unique since it comes from the industry itself, and demonstrates the power and value of a close-knit business network.”

Bossington Hall also won Editor’s Choice from the Good Hotel Guide. Guy said: "This is a real honour - the Guide only includes places that have had outstanding reviews and we can only thank our guests who have spent valuable time writing reviews for the Guide.
