An exceptionally well furnished, well equipped and spotlessly clean holiday home. Set on the edge of Porlock, not far from the convenience of shops, pubs etc., and surrounded by beautiful countryside and a variety of walks from the door. This is the place to escape the rat race and commune with nature.

Lovely cottage. Stayed with my wife and three children. All the facilities were excellent with a modern and well equipped kitchen and the capacity to do laundry- which essential with small children. It was beautifully quiet with an easy 10 minute walk to the shop and an excellent playground on the way. Porlock is within striking distance of many atRead moretractions and beaches with some stunning scenery on the various drives. Excellent cottage for a family or if you just want a quiet retreat.
