We have stayed in many cottages (plus 50) across the UK and Europe and this was in the top 2 of best equipped. We like to cook and enjoy the benefits of the cottages we stay in and we literally wanted for nothing in the kitchen - very impressed! The bedding was excellent - great pillows and duvets. The location was excellent and close to all amenities, the beach, and great walks. Lovely touch with the doggy biscuits, poop bags and 2 dog beds. Be sure to book ahead in high season for restaurants and takeouts.

Fantastic location in a charming, friendly village with all amenities literally on your doorstep. Make sure to book restaurants and pubs in advance during high season. The Dog House is very comfortable, clean and well equipped. We appreciated the biscuits for humans and the doggy treat bag too. Great stay.

The central Porlock location is perfect for walking in many directions. There are many maps available inside the front door that guided us around the area. Fast internet and good mobile signal (best in the courtyard) meant that we could work when necessary and book restaurants easily.

About the host

Host profile image
Exmoor is situated in South West Britain, specifically across West Somerset and North Devon. Often referred to as England's best kept secret, Exmoor is a wonderful holiday destination for anyone looking for a holiday in the great outdoors! There is so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors, horse riding, cycling, adventurous water sports, bird spotting or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.

Often described as 'the jewel in Exmoor's crown', Porlock is a popular tourist destination. With its stunning setting, friendly local community, traditional pubs, tea rooms, family run restaurants, art galleries and authentic shops, it is not hard to see why visitors return year after year. There are few more delightful surroundings than Porlock Vale, nestled at the foot of Porlock Hill, bounded to the north by its shingle ridge and breathtaking views towards the Bristol Channel and to the south by the rolling hills of Exmoor National Park. To learn more about this wonderful part of the world, visit the Porlock Information Centre, West End, High Street, Porlock, Somerset TA24 8QD, Tel: 01643 863150 or view their website at https://www.porlock.co.uk
