The view from the bedroom was worth the money alone. Quiet and peaceful location with stunning views from both the property and the garden. Lovely location, just a short walk from Porlock harbour. Really enjoyed our stay and visiting the surrounding area's of Exmoor. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage ideal for just 2 people. The view from the bedroom window is amazing especially if you catch the sunrise. Lovely little garden to sit in with a glass of wine admiring the fantastic views of Porlock Bay. Lots of walks right from your door step with the weir and bottom Ship just down the lane. Electronic gates were good, parking was ok, we found it easier to get out if you reverse in. Would definitely stay again.
