"We really enjoyed our stay. We were walking the SWCP and were glad to stop earlier on this leg.

The Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The only negative for me was the four flights of stairs but this was ameliorated by the marvellous view to the sea"

Little Hanger, Porlock

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for visiting variety of things in the area- coastal and moorland walks,delightful scenery, fascinating villages and museums, national trust properties. Most attentive hosts who made us feel most welcome. We had access to the full 5 acres of wooded grounds including a tennis court with racquets and balls provided and a secluded patio area immediately outside the lounge patio door."

The Porlock Weir Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 4th visit. Great hotel to access Exmoor and surrounding towns. Relaxing location with some life around it. You could arrive for 2 nights and also not go anywhere."

Stunning coastal home with panoramic sea views in Porlock Weir - 6 bed / 6 bath

10/10 Excellent

"Owlscombe is without doubt, one of the best holiday rentals we've stayed at. We were a party of 8 adults for an annual get together. It was immaculately clean and extremely well equipped. We took a few kitchen utensils with us, as we were cooking on a few days, but we really didn't need to. Stuart thought of everything. Of course the icing on the cake were the magnificent views. from the kitchen/family area.... just stunning! We all hope to return in the future."

The Crows Nest, Porlock Weir

8/10 Good

"The Crows Nest is a beautiful period property situated in a lovely quiet location overlooking the sea. The views are stunning. Porlock weir has a lovely pub with friendly staff . An ideal location for a quiet rest. The coastal path is close by and Porlock village only 2 miles down the road. The property had all we needed for our short break . I would love to return some day . "

Harbour House Apartment, Porlock Weir

10/10 Excellent

"Fab property in a great location. We, and our two dogs, spent 4 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The bed is so comfy! In an ideal world a bit more space in the entrance hall would have been useful for towelling down the dogs after walks, but we managed and it definitely won’t put us off coming back. "

The Coach House, Porlock Weir

10/10 Excellent

"The Coach House was in an absolutely idyllic setting with wonderful views. The local walks were amazing. The Coach House itself was beautifully presented and had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this accommodation and location."
