Enjoy spectacular sea views and countryside views of Porlock Bay and Hurlstone Point, looking to Wales.. Spacious comfortable home from home log burner for cosy winter evenings, large secure private garden with BBQ and patio, ideal for dogs. Piano available for musical guests. The charming traditional village of Porlock has a strong community spirit and hosts many events to suit all ages throughout the year. There a historic traditional thatched country pub just a minutes walk from our cottage, and the shops, cafes, and local village amenities are conveniently located just a short walk away. Dogs are welcome in many establishments and there are numerous walks directly from our doorstep. There is a good selection of traditional English pubs, restaurants and shops close by. Exmoor is home to a wide variety of wildlife including red deer and Exmoor ponies. Lots of outdoor activities close by including kayaking; cycling/mountain biking, horse riding; fishing, coasteering, etc, but equally you can just relax and unwind in peace and tranquility. The beautiful scenery inspires artistic creativity. Ideal for exploring the numerous woodland, moorland and coastal walks that are all accessible from our doorstep inc South West Coast Path (Salt Path) & Coleridge Way
The property has been in the family since then 1980s. Having been brought up on Exmoor I love to return to stay in the house with my family as often as time allows, we therefore treat the house not only as a holiday cottage but also see it as our own home from home. I love being a host as holidays are usually a positive and exciting thing to do, where guests have fun and enjoy memorable moments with friends or family during their stay. I feel passionately about Exmoor, having been brought up in the nearby village of Wootton Courtenay, so l consider myself to be very much an Exmoor girl at heart. There is nothing I enjoy more than enjoying the views and breathing the fresh air in the Exmoor countryside where I love walking our dogs, Daisy (labradoodle) and Pandora (poodle) and exploring the moorlands and woodlands on my horse Amber.
Porlock has a great community atmosphere with events being hosted throughout the year inc carnival, duck race, Xmas Fair, Summer Fete, Christmas Fairs, horse shows and more. Porlock Weir Harbour. Spectacular drive to Lynmouth, where there is a cliff railway to Lynton. Nearby Valley of the Rocks and Woody Bay is beautiful. Steeped in history Dunster is a picturesque medieval village located 8 miles away and home to Dunster Castle. Drive over the moors to Tarr Steps with its medieval Clapper bridge over the River Barle and dog friendly pub near the water. South West Coast Path and Coleridge Way footpaths are on our doorstep. Nearby Horner and Selworthy have nice tea rooms and great walks. Bossington Beach/Hurlstone Point Kyaking, paddle boarding, mountain bike hire and horse riding nearby. Dunkery Beacon is the highest point on Exmoor. Wimbleball Lake - has many waterside activities and fishing. Watersmeet near Lynmouth - lovely walks and fishing permits available for the River Lyn. Lovely walk to Culbone Church (the smallest Church in England) through the woods from Porlock Weir Minehead is the nearest large town with supermarkets, beach and harbour.
