The Dog House is in an excellent location in the centre of Porlock with shops and a variety of places to eat close by. The house is very well (and thoughtfully) equipped and very dog friendly. The parking spaces around the back are just a short walk away. We really enjoyed our stay - and so did ....

Great stay at the Dog House. Perfectly located for our weekend walking the South West Coast Path. Very well equipped for muddy boots and dogs - hose in the garden, utility room with drying racks, washing machine, dog towels etc. Nice wood burning stove for a cosy evening and large open planned kitchen. Nice to have 4 bathrooms and lots of space for a group of 8. Paul was very helpful with advice and quick to respond to my emails. We really enjoyed our stay. thank you!

A very warm welcoming place to celebrate the New Year with friends. A short walk to pubs and shops, with lovely countryside walks and views.
