Moonlight Manor

Offering wonderful accommodation for 14 guests across six sumptuous bedrooms, this magnificent 16th-century manor house has been imaginatively updated to make a wonderful holiday home near the Somerset coast. Set within large gated grounds in the coastal town of Portishead, this stunning residence has ample space for four canine guests, with a wealth of fabulous features including a hot tub, exposed timber beams, impressive fireplaces, snug window seats, a freestanding bath, a four-poster bed and a characterful games room.

The richly atmospheric entrance hallway leads through to the magnificent lounge with exposed beams, high windows and a striking inglenook. Next to this, the gorgeous dining room provides a memorable backdrop for any get-together. The ground floor also features an elegantly arranged kitchen, a gorgeous snug and the first bedroom: a beautiful ground-floor super-king-size room. There are four tastefully decorated first-floor bedrooms, all exuding charm and character: two king-size rooms (one en-suite), each with an additional single bed, and two doubles (one en-suite). A shower room is also on this floor. Finally, a steep cottage-style staircase leads to an en-suite king-size bedroom with a Smart TV. Outside, the enclosed south-facing front garden is perfect for dining alfresco, while the back garden is ideal for children and pets to play in. A former stable houses a games room with table tennis, table football and a hot tub. Please keep dogs and children supervised in the extensive grounds. There’s parking for five cars.
