Porch House

Very welcoming, professional and friendly hosts. Free parking at the rear of the property. The town centre is literally a 2min walk and there is a wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. Accomodation was immaculate and decorated in the style that matches the age of the building which we loved. We booked the four poster room which was stunning. Homemade biscuits, fresh fruit and chocolates were in our toom on arrival which were gorgeous. The room also had tea and coffee facilities and a mini fridge stocked with water and milk for 2. Towels and robes were provided which a selection of doapd in the ensuite. Breakfast was included in the price. A great selection of fruit and cereals and cooked options were available and the hosts asked if we required an early or late breakfast. We had the Yorkshire breakfast which was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this B&B and we will return.

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.

This was our third visit to Porch House and, as ever, it was perfect. With ample private parking and a central position the house is perfectly positioned to enjoy Northallerton and surrounding area. The house itself is a wonderful, historic building that has been turned into a beautiful home and B&B. The rooms are beautifully decorated and furnished and most comfortable. They also come with tea and coffee facilities, home made biscuits, chocolates and fresh fruit. Add the dressing gowns and slippers and it would put many top hotels to shame. Breakfast is excellent with fresh fruit salad, yogurts cereals etc., and the Full Yorkshire has top quality ingredients that are perfectly cooked and nicely presented. Charles and Christine are perfect hosts who make you feel most welcome and this is easily the nicest and classiest place to stay in Northallerton.

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.

We have just had a 2 night stay at Porch House. The owners are perfect hosts, the breakfast is tasty and piping hot. The room we had was cozy and clean with a well stocked tea tray we also had cake which was delicious and fruit and chocolates. I definitely would reccomend Porch House. Also excellent location with free parking .
