Ferienhaus in toller Lage

Wir hatten einen erholsamen Aufenthalt in Worthy Cottage. Besonders gut gefiel uns die ruhige Lage. Wir konnten direkt vom Haus aus auf den Coast Path wandern und mit dem Bus nach Porlock zurück fahren. Auch die Nähe zum Exmoor hat uns gut gefallen. Sowohl Porlock Weir als auch Porlock sind nette Küstenorte. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.

Great Stay at Porlock

A really lovely cottage and communication with the owner was enough without being overbearing. The location was good and had easy walks to the local village pub (always important). I think the only thing that could possibly be improved (if possible due to the age of the building) is the shower but completely understand why it may not be possible.

The location is fantastic if you like walking and enjoy a quiet rural retreat. It suited us and our 2dogs perfectly. It is well equipped and comfortable , rather than smart. The WiFi is the best we have experienced in a rural holiday cottage. We enjoyed the stroll down to Porlock Weir and had good meals in the various cafe/pub/ restaurant.

Lovely location, very scenic. We particularly loved all the coastal walks that could done from the doorstep with our dog, one in particular right on the doorstep is the walk through the woods to Culbone Church, well worth the effort takes about an hour each way. we also like birdwatching so visited some of the nature reserves, one in particular we have been to before at Steart, which is near Burnham, a bit difficult to find as sign posting not very good, but well worth the effort. Local pub/restaurant only 10/15 minute walk from cottage, though there were some really nice ones in Porlock town. Recommend a torch if walking to local pub in the evening. Cottage not as clean as it could have been. Everyone very friendly and helpful.

Property has a lack of privacy with no garden or outside space. Living room could do with a side window to make it feel less claustrophobic. The whole property could do with a revamp considering the price we paid (it wasn't value for money ). Luckily the weather was great as we were able to go out every day. Lovely walks with our dogs but they got covered in ticks.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

The harbour is the 'centre' of Porlock Weir, which is a 7 minute walk from Worthy Cottage - across the fields. The Bottom Ship pub is popular, while the Hotel [same ownership as the renowned Luttrell Arms in Dunster] has an outside dining terrace overlooking the Harbour. Ziang's noodle street bar is recommended and previous guests have spoken well of Italian resturant Locanda. There are a couple of Art galleries, a tea room and small shop.

The village of Porlock is approximately 2 miles from Worthy Cottage and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles from Worthy Cottage. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrison's are both situated on the outskirts of the town.

Almost the whole area lies within the beautiful Exmoor National Park.
