Porch House

This is a mini -stately home ( the oldest building in Northallerton), where the hosts treat you like lords with an eye for detail and quality. Breakfast in the period homely dining room is not to be missed.

I had the best stay at Porch House. Every detail was taken care of. Beautiful room, very comfy bed. All the little details. I look forward to staying here again. Centrally located and secure parking. Breakfast was superb too, food was lovely hot when it was presented. Christine and Charles were superb hosts. Highly recommend.

Dating from 1584 Porch House is the oldest private house in Northallerton and is a beautiful building. The original owners were connected to Royalty so the house has a lot of history, the most important being that in 1647 King Charles I was held prisoner here by the Parliamentary Commissioners en-route to London where he was eventually executed in 1649. The house is now run as a B&B and is simply fabulous. It is situated in the centre of town and has ample off-street parking at the rear of the house. We have stayed here three times now and on all occasions the owners Christine and Charles have been welcoming and gracious hosts. All the bedrooms are beautifully furnished and very comfortable and I love the extra little touches like the bowl of fresh fruit, home made biscuits and a little bag of delicious chocolates. Breakfast is served in a lovely room that features an old range cooker and simply oozes history. After a fresh fruit salad with yogurt we both opted for the full Yorkshire breakfast that had thick cut bacon, butcher’s sausage, black pudding, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, beans and fried eggs. All the ingredients were top class, cooked perfectly and nicely presented. Quite simply you couldn’t get a finer cooked breakfast. And that last sentence applies to Porch House as a whole, i.e. whether you are talking of hotels or B&Bs, you simply couldn’t find better accommodation and we look forward to our next visit.

This is the second time we stayed for 8 days, Breakfast ,The rooms are so nice fruit chocolates and very good breakfast Charles and his wife were great hosts.We wish that we could have stayed longer there is so much do in the area. There is private parking.

A wonderful place to stay with private parking, immaculate rooms and an amazing breakfast. The owners made me feel especially welcome, came to my car and helped me with my bags. They even took me directly to my room and made sure I knew where everything was located. I can’t credit them enough to be honest!
