Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews present a mixed picture of cleanliness. Some guests found the cottage spotless and tidy, while others reported issues with cleanliness, including unclean kitchenware and presence of pet hair. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its beauty and convenience, with easy access to local shops, pubs, and scenic walks. The proximity to Porlock village and the peaceful setting near a stream are particularly appreciated.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, highlighting the cosy atmosphere and comfortable beds. However, some mention the property feels cramped, especially with more than two people, and the spiral staircase poses difficulties for some.
The cottage is well-equipped, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as a broken toilet seat, loose tiles, and a lack of instructions for appliances. The garden's upkeep is also a concern. These recurring issues suggest a need for attention to facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the host. Therefore, it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
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 bed was really comfy and the cottage had everything we needed. Loved sitting in the garden listening to the stream.

The main bedroom is very tight fir room making it difficult to manoeuvre around the bed frame plus a heater on the window side intrudes and reduces the space to about 15cm. The shower is pointless and really unusable due to poor water pressure. The kitchen cupboards are full of equipment meaning food storage, cereals, bread etc., has no where to go. The garden is a mess and needs urgent attention. The housekeeper Adrian does not respond to calls, all rubbish bins were full when we arrived with no uptodate info on collection days.

We are just into our 60âs and found it a difficult feature to deal with. Our dogs did not like the stairs and had to be carried up/down which lead to me sleeping on the sofa keeping the most nervous one company. We arrived on the Friday but cut our holiday short and left on the Sundayâ¦..
