IDEAL EXMOOR LOCATION HOMELY 4 BED HOUSE, GARDEN, SEA VIEWS FAMILY/DOG FRIENDLY!

Family and dog friendly spacious 4 bedroom self catering holiday cottage situated in a quiet location in Porlock, Exmoor National Park has breathtaking sea views Exmoor Holidays offers the perfect peaceful retreat to relax, unwind and explore the stunning Exmoor coastline and countryside by car, bicycle, horse, landrover safari, or on foot. Numerous footpaths including the South West Coast Path and Coleridge Way are all accessible directly from our doorstep.

For those wanting to get away from it all our large south facing garden with sheltered patio and sun terrace captures the sun from dawn through to dusk and is a haven of peace and tranquillity where one can quietly sit and listen to birdsong whilst the sun goes down.

Situated in a peaceful lane in the traditional Exmoor village of Porlock but only a couple of minutes walk from the historic Ship Inn and traditional Porlock village centre. Because the property is built on a hillside most of the accommodation is on the first floor, accessed via a flight of stairs. Bedroom 4 is on the ground floor with its own kitchen & lounge diner for 2, perfect for friends/families who wish for their own space or who require ground floor accommodation. We are very popular as a generation vacation where the grandparents or older children sleep in the downstairs where they have their own ground floor kitchen, bathroom and lounge diner so they have a bit of their own space should they wish for it whilst the younger children and parents sleep in the 3 bedrooms upstairs.

Also popular for groups of extended family and friends who are on a walking, mountain biking or riding holiday, or just seeking to escape and relax in beautiful Exmoor countryside and require 4 bedroom accommodation.



The cottage is heated and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Perfect, just perfect

Superb location, just right for exploring the area, very close to all amenities including welcoming pubs serving good food, try the Ship, literally next door to the property, good food and beer, but if you don’t feel like going out to dine this property has an excellent outside dining area with bbq and very comfy garden chairs and table. Within walking distance of the Weir or Beach but the better option is a short drive to the National Trust car park at Bossington then walk to Hurlstone Point the views are spectacular. As I said this is a fantastic place for a, in our case, family holiday, we all returned home relaxed and happy. Thanks to the owners for letting us stay

A lovely place to stay for a family or group

We stayed here as a family of 8 adults (and 1 small dog)in August and it was our first getaway since lockdown for Covid. As well as being spotlessly clean, the house was really spacious with several different places to relax without all being on top of each other. At the same time it was exceedingly well equipped, seating 8 around the main table inside or the patio outside and with plenty of crockery, glasses and kitchen equipment. We all enjoy cooking and it was unusual in a holiday rental to have access to the right number of pans, knives or chopping boards. There was even spare cupboard space for our own food. For part of the week we had a heatwave and an unexpected bonus for us was that the downstairs bedroom was beautifully cool, as it’s built on a hill so that all the main rooms are upstairs but they are also at ground level at the back. There was enough in Porlock and the surrounding area to keep us busy but it was also nice to sit and relax in this comfortable house and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a getaway for a group.

Great property and Location, very clean and just as described, the pictures shown do not do it justice. The village of Porlock is lovely with some nice shops, a well stocked Spar shop, chip shop, Chinese and three pubs. The top ship and the Castle serve lovely food. There is a lovely woodland walk or coastal path walk to Porlock weir where you will find another nice pub The bottom ship. The house has everything you need and a lovely well kept garden. Would not hesitate to go back to this property, it’s lovely.

A Great Holiday Location

Great property in a super location with hot and sunny weather. Property catered well for our 3 generation family holiday. House has interesting multiple level layout, has everything you need inside and out and views to the coast. Older guests must be comfortable with steps and stairs to enjoy the whole property. Located a few doors from a local pub/Inn offering good food and close to a bustling village catering for most needs. 30 min walk to Porlock Weir and coast make it a good location for dog walkers. Well placed to explore Exmoor. A great week for all the family...thank you very much for use of the property and excellent communication re questions asked.
