Guests say
Woodedge is a quaint cottage in Somerset, appreciated for its idyllic setting and proximity to Minehead, with easy access to walks and the village of Porlock. Guests find it cosy and well-equipped for a couple, though some mention it could benefit from a touch of care.
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it clean and tidy, while others noted issues with dirty kitchenware and general upkeep. The presence of cobwebs and a full bin upon arrival were mentioned, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, beautiful scenery, and proximity to local attractions and walks. Guests enjoyed the easy access to Porlock and surrounding areas, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat.
Guests found the beds comfortable and the cottage warm. However, some mentioned that the space felt cramped, especially with more than two people, and the spiral staircase posed a challenge for some.
Facilities were generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and modern bathroom. However, maintenance issues like broken toilet seats, a leaky gutter, and a non-functional hoover were recurrent concerns. The garden's upkeep was also frequently mentioned as needing attention.
There is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no mentions of gifts or special touches provided by the host. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.
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

Perfect base to explore beautiful Exmoor.

Small inside. The âgardenâ is really just a front yard, though nice being by the stream as long as you donât mind the complete lack of privacy. The second bedroom is minuscule and the door canât close because of it, the bed being in the way. There is no washing machine or drier. Whole place could do with a deep clean and some redecorating. Owner not particularly helpful. Left a few small items and asked if these could be returned if I paid the postage. He didnât respond.

It is extremely small and with no washing machine, I wouldn't want to stay for any longer than long weekend breaks which we have done twice now. But being 2 people and dogs, we found it lovely. the location is outstanding.
