The Crows Nest is a beautiful period property situated in a lovely quiet location overlooking the sea. The views are stunning. Porlock weir has a lovely pub with friendly staff . An ideal location for a quiet rest. The coastal path is close by and Porlock village only 2 miles down the road. The property had all we needed for our short break . I would love to return some day .

Very nice large cottage quite quirky. Shower good, large kitchen, bed comfy. No suitable for people with walking disabilities as there are steep steps either side of the cottage.

Such a lovely cottage, perfect location a few minutes stroll from the harbour, beach and pub. We did a lovely walk out from the cottage, along the coast then up into the wooded hills behind the village. Would definitely stay in this cottage again.

Could not fault the fantastic location with stunning views And so many walks around the area. House was spotless on arrival. Porlock Weir is fairly quiet but has a good choice of places to eat including a busy pub, hotel, take away and even oysters which are caught fresh daily . Overall a great stay .

We were very pleased to be returning for another stay in this charming well-equipped cottage. The sea views and the setting are as lovely as ever and we had wonderful walks both from the door and from a short car ride away. The area has pleasant pubs and many nice places for tea with delicious cakes.
