About this property

Robins Brook, Porlock

Robin's Brook in Porlock (Somerset) sleeps up to 4 guests in a quiet location, on a no-through road at the edge of the thriving village of Porlock, in the beautiful Exmoor National Park. It has a large enclosed garden just across the lane. Robin's Brook in Porlock (Somerset) is a terraced hundred-and-twenty-year-old former quarryman's cottage, offering comfortable and cosy holiday accommodation for up to 4 guests to enjoy this beautiful area. It is a traditional cottage, furnished accordingly. If you're looking for a modern atmosphere and modern furnishings, Robin's Brook probably isn't for you!

It's an easy walk into the village, and there's also great walking directly from the door if you wish to explore - the road outside the cottage turns into a bridleway further up the combe, which then leads all the way up to Hawkcombe Head, high on the moors above - a great walk if you are looking for a challenge!

Positives: Lovely location in Hawcombe, just up the road from Porlock village. Garden is lovely although it would be nice if the swing had a seat... Good wifi Negatives: Property is small, but just about coped with two adults and a 13 and 9 year old. Kitchen very dated and not the easiest to use (we had to screw the handles back onto the pans for example), fridge door shelf hanging on with duct tape but won't support a bottle of milk etc Living chairs are from way back when and not in the slightest bit comfortable, meaning you'll probably spend you time lying on your bed instead. Whilst there is parking, it's on a narrow single road so turning your car is difficult (we were kindly offered the use of a neighbour's drive about 500m up the road to reverse in to). Overall - you get what you pay for. It's cheap, so on balance worth it/good value for money. Whilst I certainly wouldn't avoid it, I wouldn't rush back again to book it - it's fine, better for a couple. If it was updated it would make for a lovely cottage.

Great location, very quiet and great garden which was fantastic for the dogs. The cottage was very warm, welcoming and spacious and an easy walk down to the village and all the dog friendly pubs and cafes. Even nearer to walk on to the hills. we will definitely be returning.

The cottage is in an absolute fab location - about a mile from Porlock, so lovely and quiet, and on the track up to Hawkcombe Head. The garden across the road with the brook running through is very special. Sadly we didn't get to use it that much due to the weather but managed a glass of wine one night as the sun was setting. The rooms are nice and big, we really enjoyed having the two separate living room / dining room areas. One was used for cosy TV watching and the other for dumping our backpacks after a long hike. The kitchen is one of the most well-stocked self catering kitchens we've even stayed in - it even had a pudding bowl! One of the neighbours down the road is also selling allotment veg for 50p! We would really recommend.

About the host

Host profile image
Porlock is a wonderful working Exmoor village and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, petrol station, hardware shop, visitor centre, several art galleries and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms.

Porlock Weir is approximately 1.5 miles from Porlock and is well worth a visit. There's a pub, restaurant, and take-away plus a range of individual shops such as tea rooms, Exmoor Glass, etc.

Many of the shops in Porlock and Porlock Weir are open during traditional hours of 9 am to 5 pm, although hours are often extended during the summer season. Conversely, some shops also reduce their opening hours out of season.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 6 miles from Porlock. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco, Morrison's and Lidl are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have longer opening hours), most major high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town.
