Halsway Manor This delightful, mainly Tudor manor house, nestles in the western folds of the Quantock Hills with magnificent views across Exmoor. In 1086 Halsway was recorded in the Domesday Book as a farmstead and since then has accumulated history and a wealth of atmosphere.  In 1965 the manor was purchased by members of the English Folk Dance and Song Society and Halsway Manor was born. Since then it has been the country's only residential folk music centre providing accommodation for up to 62 people. Accommodation is in single, double and family rooms, many with en-suite facilities. As you enter the barrel-vaulted hall with its welcoming log fire, you will immediately recognise that Halsway is an ideal venue for a break at any time of the year.  Individual residents, couples, or crowds are always welcome, but do book early to avoid disappointment.  The Somerset countryside around provides unique opportunities for walking, fossil hunting on the legendary beaches of East Quantoxhead, and riding etc. The area has also attracted potters, painters, and every other kind of craft person, to set up business over the years.  All these and many other interests such as historical churches and family history, complement the wide variety of courses, including folk dance, song and music of every kind, which could be included in your stay at Halsway.  The manor also offers ideal accommodation for weddings and business courses in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
