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.
