  We had a wonderful stay - 5 of us including 97 year old father who slept in the downstairs twin room. This was excellent for him but we would have liked handles on the shower walls. Itinerary says no hairdryers but they were provided. Superb location with walks to & on the beach & through the woods.... We had a wonderful stay - 5 of us including 97 year old father who slept in the downstairs twin room. This was excellent for him but we would have liked handles on the shower walls. Itinerary says no hairdryers but they were provided. Superb location with walks to & on the beach & through the woods to Porlock. Porlock Weir is well worth a visit - huge cream teas, Coach View House is ideal for touring Exmoor & the coast- Exmoor pony gathering was great fun. Only problem was with Morrisons food delivery where Coach House View did not pop up in the post code drop down - Porlock Vale House did feature so I selected this with a comment asking for delivery to Coach View house - I rang Mark twice & left a message to this effect but received no reply . Mandy, on site, resolved the situation & diverted the delivery to us. House is very well equipped - just missing dishwasher tablets so do bring your own. Gas BBQ was excellent as was enclosed garden for dog. Altogether a super, spacious, well equipped house in a wonderful location - thoroughly recommended .

However please be aware that you do not have full run of the whole house - the attached wing at the side of the property is occupied by workers on the farm. The french windows in the living room can not be opened onto the courtyard but more importantly you are very visible to the people in the courtyard. We have complained about this to the manager of the property who will hopefully make some adjustments both to the description of the property but also to the windows to provide privavcy.

  I had an amazing week at a lovely house.

  It was super clean and had everything we needed. Parking was no problem at all - we were able to park 2 cars right outside the front. This place offers great value for money, and I would definitely return and recommend it to others. The area is absolutely beautiful! There's a fantastic park just around the corner which my kids absolutely adored. It's just a 15-minute drive to Minehead for that classic seaside vibe. The Porlock weir is also very pretty - only a 10-minute drive, or more like a 30-minute walk downhill. We also loved the open-roof bus, but I would recommend driving to Blue Anchor Caravan Park because that's where the bus starts. It tends to get full once it arrives in Porlock. The only downside is that the stairs to the top bedroom are quite steep, so it may not be very suitable for younger children or elderly people.

  Setting & location perfect.

  Very enjoyable visit Directions could be a little better as we didn't really understand where the left fork was going to be and it feels like you may be going up a lane you might get stuck in. I would clarify that left fork is at a junction where straight ahead is signed dead end and that the lane opens up at the cottages Can you make it clear that there are no toiletries, the only soap in the cottage was hand soap that had been watered down The Washing up bowl is strange and leaks The switches in the airing cupboard are confusing, labels would be great The Immersion hesater could do with proper insulation Recycling info needs updating The shower is a bit confusing and has a display that is a bit wonky and buttons we didn't understand A Dining table light would be useful Not big grumbles but room for improvement Thanks
