Perfectly positioned to explore the dramatic tidal shores and wild moorland of Exmoor is Aluric's Hall.
Beautifully crafted from the exceptional remains of a medieval Manor House in the picturesque hamlet of Bratton, this chic home from home is perfect for couples and friends seeking a peaceful getaway in a rural location.
From your dedicated parking area, approach the hall via a tree covered path to discover this 13th century timber-framed building with its immense stone walls, ancient beams and wood panelling.
Exquisite parquet flooring leads from the entrance hall to the spacious, light filled living areas; a pillared sitting room with a welcoming woodburning stove offers your group ample space in which to sit and chat, and a snug with a TV in which to relax.
The farmhouse style kitchen enjoys very pretty views over the adjoining orchard and has a long refectory style dining table, providing the perfect social space in which to enjoy a meal and recount your days adventures.
On the first floor, you’ll find two superb suites with antique timber flooring, bespoke artwork and pretty fabrics, each boasting a super king sized bed and its own shower room.
An additional ('snoring') room is available for daytime naps or noisy sleepers!
Exmoor National Park is a Dark Sky Reserve and a wonderful base for star gazing.
Nearby are a plethora of beaches to explore – from sandy Minehead and Dunster to the primal storm beaches running from Porlock Weir to Bossington, Lee Bay (rock pools and sand at low tide), Combe Martin and of course the fossil-rich headland and bay at Blue Anchor – but do be aware of the tide!
For those that love to be at one with nature, Exmoor is laced with winding cliff paths, footpaths and bridleways encompassing open heather-clad moorland.
Walk the rugged South West Coast Path, Coleridge Way or try some of the world class mountain biking trails for every skill level.
For a more sedate pace, enjoy a picnic at Tarr Steps, with its ancient clapper bridge or spend a day meandering through Medieval Dunster.
Aluric’s Hall is a very special retreat in a wonderful location.
