A truly wonderful spot... harbour in front (ever-changing with the tides) the sea behind, lovely views of the hills beyond (and lovely walks if you want them) and the comings and goings of the community. Sun at front and rear... always a spot to catch it. A very short walk to the pub, the cafe, a little Asian takeaway (fabulous), the hotel for a special meal or afternoon tea, or a woodfired pizza outside, and a couple of delightful art galleries. The cottage is a delight. It has a wonderful atmosphere. So cosy and comfy and the fireplace with woodburner is heaven. Comfy beds. We had a really magical week.

A charming cottage in a wonderful spot where there is always something going on. We have been using Best of Exmoor for years and wouldn't consider booking an Exmoor holiday through any other company.

Loved our stay Western Cottage - have stayed in Porlock for many years and always wanted to be on the weir- the cottage was fantastic, everything has been thought of from hot water bottles and salt and pepper pots to the flood gates should they be needed - and we have had the most brilliant week away. Beds were extremely comfortable and we had even been left washing tablets for the washer. We are a family of 2 teens and they also loved every minute of this unique stay. If there is a downside it’s to remember that with no real or reliable phone signal here the Wi-Fi in the cottage is poor and glitched constantly. Not a necessity by any means but we couldn’t reliably make or take calls which on occasion we needed to do.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

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's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.

Porlock Weir has a quaint little harbour and its own unique charm; the port has a long and colourful history. Today Porlock Weir is a quiet harbour and a thriving community that welcomes tourists every year, many of whom come to enjoy the pretty scenery, shops, tea rooms, pubs and local cuisine. On a fine day, the South West Coast Path offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fabulous views across Porlock Weir and the bay. The coastal footpath links up with many other walking trails including Culbone, home to the smallest church in England. One of the more unusual attractions at Porlock Weir is the submerged forest. At low tide, the remains of ancient tree trunks arise from the grey clay soil. These desiccated stumps are the last remaining evidence of a forest that, once upon a time, lay five miles inland.
