We found the place by driving by and needed place to stay for a night. Knocked on the door and then the fantastic experience started. Since John opened the door we knew we were lucky to find the place. John and Elaine made us feel very welcome. They were very communicative, lovely and welcoming. Always clean, neat and well presented.... More

Rosebank is a great B&B. John and Elaine make you feel very welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The room was lovely and very clean. We had the special winter deal with the evening meal included which was extremely good value. The food was very good especially the breakfast. Will definately return. More

Just returned from a fabulous but all too short stay at the wonderful Rosebank. Having stayed on previous visits, my fiance and I were greeted like returning friends and we really felt as though we were staying in a friends home. Nothing is ever too much trouble for John and Elaine, the attention to detail is second to none. The... More

We have stayed at this b&b a number of times with our labrador. We have enjoyed our stay everytime. John and Elaine really make you feel welcome. After you've stayed once, the next times you visit you are made to feel one of the family. The breakfasts are amazing with locally sourced ingredients. Certainly sets you up for a day... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights at Rose Bank. I had stayed before and knew what to expect but my wife hadn't. We were met by John and Elaine with their warm greeting and shown to our very pleasantly furnished and tastefully decorated room, facing the front and overlooking the sea. The king-size bed was extremely comfortable and... More

Upon our arrival John was there to help with our suitcase and once inside we met Elaine and within minutes we felt we had known them for years. Our room was freh and clean with... More

After a very late booking in Dec 2011, we were delighted to stay at The Rose Hotel in Porlock. We were made to feel very welcome by John & Elaine, the rooms were perfectly clean and the cooked breakfasts in the morning were just perfect. An extra touch was the torch, wellies and tide timetables, lent us to us by... More

John and Elaine hosted us for 1 night in August whilst we walked the South West Coast Path - and we wouldn't have been able to find any better place in Porlock to relax after a day of walking. Everything was of excellent quality, filled with the care, love and attention that John and Elaine pay to every detail. Most... More

A very friendly, well run guest house. John and Elaine made a point of calling guests by their first names all the time, something I haven't encountered anywhere else! Breakfasts were lovely, good choice available. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. We stayed in the room at the top of the house, and had lovely views out across to... More
