    Cottage was in a great location in the heart of Porlock village. Some places were still closed before the start of the season. Friendly locals and a well equipped Spar for essentials. The cottage was extremely comfortable with a pretty courtyard...

    Great location; it felt like it was quite rural but right in the town centre. Very well equipped and quality kitchen utensils/pans for cooking. Lovely kitchen diner where we spent most of our time; ideal stone floor for dogs. Lovely enclosed sunny...

Neighbourhood information

The courtyard to the rear of the property is enclosed. The door from the passageway opens onto the High Street, so shops, pubs, restaurants and tea rooms are all within easy walking distance. Porlock is often described as 'the jewel in Exmoor's crown' and has a long history of settlements existing on or near the site of the existing village, with stone-age remains only a short distance away. Porlock is a working village and boasts a number of pubs, restaurants, tea rooms and independent shops. There few more delightful surroundings than Porlock Vale, nestled at the foot of Porlock Hill, bounded to the north by its shingle ridge and breath taking views towards the Bristol Channel, and to the south by the rolling hills of the Exmoor National Park. The Exmoor coastline is formed mainly of cliffs but at Porlock the land flattens out and a unique mile long shingle ridge and an inland salt marsh have formed. For the bird watcher this is a very interesting site as a great variety of waders and wildfowl can be seen here in the winter as well as the occasional unusual bird passing through.
