About this property
This mid-terrace cottage is situated in the woodland valley of Hawkcombe, half a mile from Porlock. It is much loved accommodation for walkers or anyone looking to explore Exmoor. Step up to the traditional stable doors into the neat open plan living space with small wood burning stove, TV, kitchen area and folding dining table and chairs. Head up the wonderful narrow wrought iron spiral stairs to your two cosy bedrooms sharing a bathroom. At the front, take the little footbridge over a stream to your peaceful enclosed garden where you can enjoy meals at the picnic table. This is brilliant walking country, with the dramatic coastline and the heather hills of Exmoor to explore, or maybe ride from the local stables or take on some challenging mountain biking. For shopping and eating, Porlock has a range of shops, restaurants and pubs, Minehead is a fabulous seaside town with all the fun nostalgic resort entertainments you could wish for. Woodedge is a dear little cottage for enjoying the stunning scenery.
Porlock is a quaint village, popular with tourists due its character, proximity to the lovely North Somerset coastline and situation within the Exmoor National Park. There are plenty of little gift shops along with pubs, cafes and restaurants to be found and only two miles away, the picturesque harbour of Porlock Weir offers wonderful views across the Bristol Channel

The saucepans, crockery and cutlery was unclean and required washing before it could be used. Bedroom floors were dirty and there were cobwebs. The property is very tired in need of an overhaul. The outside light was like a strobe so could not be used. The location of the cottage is very good and the property has the potential to be very nice with some TLC.

However, we had to wash cutlery, china and glass before use and found pages of comments about cleanliness in the Visitors' book. We also felt a better supply of tea, coffee, sugar, milk, loo rolls etc would give less of an impression of meanness. We would have appreciated a small bottle of milk in the fridge ready for our arrival. Another lamp or two in the downstairs room would be welcome as would the replacement of the two very large pieces of furniture in the double bedroom with something smaller that would enhance rather than dominate. But overall a lovely cottage in a beautiful peaceful spot.
