Once these stables, harness rooms and grooms quarters were a working part of this lovely old coach house, serving the large country house in whose grounds it was built. Time passes but the lovely setting remains.

Nowadays, The Old Coach House overlooks a courtyard of hollyhocks and mimosa, the stables transformed into four elegant apartments for two with comfortable and stylish accommodation. All surrounded by south facing gardens, raised pond and scented shrubbery. A relaxation treat!

Regional Quality Assured by the local Tourism Association.

Nearby is the Exmoor village of Porlock with picturesque shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants. Dramatic moors rolling down to the sea provide magnificent seascapes. Stroll along the beach to arrive at the tiny harbour of Porlock Weir, crammed with sailing boats and the old Ship Inn. The bird sanctuary, moorland and vale, wild deer and pony herds, all just a walk from the garden gate.

More about Coach House Apartments

LIST is the new name for the long standing inspection scheme run by North Devon+ formally known as Stepping Stones. Many accommodation providers want to give visitors the security of knowing their property has been independently inspected but wish to be inspected through a local scheme. The LIST inspection scheme is an annual inspection and confirms the property is operating to a legal, safe and clean standard. Properties inspected through the scheme can be identified by the LIST logo. The inspectors are experienced and successful tourism operators from the region who have been chosen for their expertise and knowledge in running serviced and self catering businesses locally. That knowledge enables them to understand the realities of running a tourism business and also the needs and requirements of visitors with the ability to offer suggestions to help businesses. The inspectors work to a check list looking for cleanliness, comfort and all the basic requirements for a minimum standard. Each property is considered on its own merits and the age specific issues of the property will be considered. The inspectors will advise immediately of any requirements or suggestions. They will also look at evidence of legal compliance. The inspections are friendly and advisory and are there to support businesses which will in turn make the visitors stay more enjoyable.

Additional information on this classification scheme is available from North Devon+.
