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

Delicious dinner down stairs, and lucky for us on our night, a live singer providing a musical background atmosphere. She was lovely, and just the thing to elevate the evening to next level."

The Castle Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice, bright room at the top of the inn looking over the village street down to Hurlstone Point. Big, clean en-suite. Good full English breakfast, very friendly staff who wanted to be sure we were happy. The bar was lively in the evening with plenty of groups at the sofas, tables and bar-stools."

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

10/10 Excellent

"If you’re thinking about staying at Owlscombe, stop thinking and just book it - you won’t regret it! We were 3 generations (10 people), including a baby, a toddler, 2 teenagers, 2 60 year olds, and a dog, and the house provided everything we needed. It was spotless, well equipped, and finished to a very high standard with quality appliances. Also the location suited us well, a 10-minute walk to the delightful Porlock Weir, and 10 minute drive to the village of Porlock. Communication with Stuart before and during our stay was friendly and prompt. Thank you Stuart, we had a great time!"

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."

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. "
