Porlock is small and having spent 5 nights there hiking and exploring feel Rosebank the best. Rooms are clean and nice. Breakfast delicious and they made sure we had access to their maps & hiking booklets a plus for 2 American hikers. If a negative it's that the heat is turned off all day. If you return chilled and or... More

Just returned from yet another few nights at Rose Bank. All the other reviews say it all but I will add that since last time a guest's lounge area has been added so you don't have to be confined to your room. We made good use of the local bus links to Lynmouth and Minehead and locally to Porlock Weir... More

I tagged along to a university friend's field visit to her thesis sponsors. I spoke to John and made two night's stay over the phone and were welcomed on a Monday night (nearing midnight!) with a smile and we were showed into our twin room. John and Elaine were very kind to accommodate us in the late hours, as all... More

Myself and my partner were made very welcome this last weekend May Bank Weekend. The service was second to none. The Rooms were brilliant - very clean - very well organised - lots of extras. The food was also excellent - very good quality and more than enough. Would tell anyone to go. Janice and Martyn from the West Midlands

The shower, the breakfast, the bed and the hospitality of the owners, are simply the best. One could not ask more after a long day's walk from Lynmouth. Of courese John and Elaine covered the essential B&B grounds perfectly, but what really touched me was how thoughtful they have showed through the details, such as the emergency toiletry bag on...

John and Elaine were very welcoming and Rose Bank lived up to what we had been told by the friends we went with. The accommodation was clean and welcoming and the little touches like fresh flowers, sweets and bottled water were very appreciated. The service we received at breakfast was first class and every thing we wanted was provided and... More
