The pubs and the locals in Porlock Weir were fantastic, very accommodating with our dogs and the food was amazing, we really liked the "Bottom" Ship Inn and had a fantastic Christmas lunch at the "Top" Ship Inn, neither pub could be faulted. The cottage is in a great location for many, many walks, such a beautiful area.

We had a great stay the cottage was very clean and had everything that you would need, the location suited us very quiet with some nice walks our two dogs loved it. Weirfest was on so we spent a couple of evenings down there listening to some bands and sampling the local ale. Great meal at the Bottom Ship which is a short walk away and the hotel next door does a good pizza. Overall a great cottage if you want peace and quiet we will be staying again.

The cottage is in the perfect location for long walks, east, south and west; is well equipped, warm and homely after long days out. At the same time close to Porlock Weir, whether a drink, supper, coffee or a bacon sandwich. It was a really wonderful break which exceeded our expectations.
