Beautifully presented house in a very central location but peaceful and private too. Parking not an issue, plenty of eateries and great walking paths. Beds super comfortable and the whole house was very well equipped. I would stay there again.

A memorable find! We were 6, (4 adults + 2 under10s) and had a great time. The house has been upgraded tastefully, comfortably with many useful gadgets. The 3 bedrooms were very conducive to sleep because it was so quiet. The large kitchen and eating area is absolutely ideal for family groups with ample room for eating and playing board games. The sitting room has 2 good easy chairs plus a large sofa. The TV and DVD player are both excellent (DVD of Lorna Doone is available). Ground floor shower is brilliant and the bath is deep and luxurious. Porlock is a busy little town with several good shops. The fact that there is a convenience store directly opposite means that basic groceries can be obtained within minutes without having to resort to the car. i would thoroughly recommend staying here.

Outstanding house. Large, warm, well lit. Furnishings , sheets and towels excellent. Amazing location, off the main street, but very private and quiet. Excellent for adults-loads of space to spread out! Very highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Porlock is often described as 'the jewel in Exmoor's crown' and has a long history of settlements existing on or near the site of the existing village, with stone-age remains only a short distance away. Porlock is a working village and boasts a number of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and independent shops. There few more delightful surroundings than Porlock Vale, nestled at the foot of Porlock Hill, bounded to the north by its shingle ridge and breath taking views towards the Bristol Channel, and to the south by the rolling hills of the Exmoor National Park. The Exmoor coastline is formed mainly of cliffs but at Porlock the land flattens out and a unique mile long shingle ridge and an inland salt marsh have formed. For the bird watcher this is a very interesting site as a great variety of waders and wildfowl can be seen here in the winter as well as the occasional unusual bird passing through.

Exmoor is split between West Somerset and North Devon, some call it England's best kept secret! Exmoor is a wonderful holiday destination for anyone looking for a holiday in the great outdoors - from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari in a 4x4 or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.
