  My overwhelming memory of staying here is how disappointed we were to find we had literally been left the bare minimum possible and had to go out almost as quickly as we'd turned up.

  Not want you want on a cold winters evening, in a place you know nothing about. It was new years break, so of course, it would have been lovely to have a bottle of fizz in the fridge or at least something to mark the big occasion, there was nothing. Ok, not something we've historically encountered, but that was a 'nice to have'. What isn't a nice to have is the basics. We were literally left the bare bones to get us through our immediate arrival - a sachet of milk each....? A tea bag... less than a coffee sachet each....? I couldn't believe it. A couple of pints is only £1 and could've seen us through til morning. A loaf of bread, a block of butter. We weren't left ANYTHING to wipe down surfaces or clean up after ourselves. No sponge, kitchen roll, dishcloth or anything in this regard. 2 rolls of toilet tissue between 6 people, 2 dishwasher tablets, no bin bags other than the one which was in situ. It all felt really basic and minimal and if I'm honest...tight. It wasn't a cheap stay, but it was made to feel cheap by the lack of welcome we felt we had as a family. 6 of us staying from Wednesday until Saturday. It wouldn't have cost much at all, but would've made such a positive impact. The only other feedback I can offer is that if you are unable to make the super king into 2 beds on a short notice booking this needs to be conveyed to guests before they book. This was imperative for us, so when we arrived to find the bed still as a superking it was a problem. I wouldnt have boked the property if I had known this. Not hearing back from Adrian was also disappointing, I had assumed that all was fine, given that he didnt get in touch with me as he said he would. Such a shame

  First the cons: One hand towel for 6 adults is ridiculous with a bathroom, separate toilet and kitchen sink.

  Only one tea towel. Only one washing cloth. No cleaning products for the kitchen or bathroom. The heating timer setting was unsuitable for the cool/wet autumn. Origami toilet paper (keep folding until you get something usable). We did report a loose toilet seat in the bathroom but had no feedback. Now the pros: Very comfortable beds. We had a problem with the king bed not being split into singles and this was dealt with within an hour. Very well furnished. All the kitchen equipment was more than adequate so that while the dish washer was on there was still enough cutlery and plates/cups etc to have a full meal. Really enjoyed the covered conservatory area. Well positioned in Porlock for enjoyable walks around the village and great for the North Devon coast. If the cons could be addressed this would be a 5 star for us all.

  We have had a wonderful stay here and were all sad to leave!

  Lower bourne was a great base to be able to access other areas nearby. The kitchen is very clean and has everything you could possibly need to cook meals. It is only a short walk to a shop, pub or the local park which our 8 year old loved!! Walls are also just on the doorstep. The surroundings are just beautiful!! I would say the only downside is the parking, the junction can be a bit tricky when reversing in but every other house has the same issue with parking. It’s not easy if you have a big/long car but it’s doable. Definitely wouldn’t put me off coming again! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

  Lovely cottage, in a fantastic, quiet location just off the High Street in the pretty village of Porlock.

  Great walks on your doorstep and a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, making a wonderful base fora relaxing holiday. The cottage is very pretty, with a cute, sunny garden and a sea view from the top bedroom. Very thoughtfully equipped, the kitchen had everything we could possibly want, including a few unexpected things, like baking equipment, Tupperware and enough mugs and plates to only out the dishwasher on once a day! Beds were very comfortable, with good quality linen. The only annoyance was that the heating kept coming on (in May!) and that there were no instructions for turning it off.

  This house is located in a cul de sac in the middle of Porlock.

  There is a great grocery shop in the village who had everything we needed. We also had take away dinners from a couple of fish and chip shops. We took talks to the coastline, which is about 10-15 mins away. This immaculate house has just been refurbished and had everything we needed - well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a nice outside space. We hope to stay at 3 Lowerbourne Terrace again!
