Beautiful cottage, but the extreme low water pressure was a bit let down. Could be cleaner! Garden pathways and decking needs clearing back as overgrown. Well equipped property with everything you would need, stunning views from top of the garden,

The views from the terrace are lovely. The cottage is very well equipped for self catering. The beds were comfortable. We would absolutely book again if we visited Porlock.

The cottage is very well equipped for self catering. The beds were comfortable. We would absolutely book again if we visited Porlock. The location at the foot of Porlock Hill was great. It is a bit of a climb to the cottage from the village but we were fine with that. Lovely walks from the front door and good local pubs. We eat at the Ship on the first night - definitely book at the weekend - it was heaving and they only just managed to squeeze our party of six in when we called the day before.
