About this property

High Bank in Porlock

High Bank in Porlock is a deceptively spacious holiday cottage for up to 6 guests. High Bank is situated in Hawkcombe, which is a pretty and quiet part of the village and within walking distance of all the village amenities. Perfectly located for walking. High Bank in Porlock is a charming end of terrace property with three bedrooms; one double, one twin (can be made up as super-king size on request) and one bedroom with bunk beds. High Bank sits at the foot of the enchanting wooded combe - Hawkcombe - and the road outside the cottage turns into a bridleway further up the combe, which leads all the way to Hawkcombe Head, high on the moors above - a great walk if you are looking for a challenge!

One large bedroom with twin beds (can be made up as super-king size on request, please note this on your booking if applicable)
One bedroom with bunk-beds.

Beautifully presented house with everything you could wish for provided. Great for woodland walks and handy for Porlock and the surrounding moors. We thoroughly enjoyed our few days here and felt quite sad when it was time to leave. We came as a couple but a great property for a family holiday too. ☺

The house was perfect. Not only as a base from which to explore the wonderful area, but also to relax in and be together as a family. It was very comfortable and cosy yet bright and spacious too, with lots of thoughtful touches to make your stay the best it could be. I would be very happy to recommend Highbank.

This was a brilliant location, an excellently equipped, tastefully furnished and decorated cottage.
This was a brilliant location, an excellently equipped, tastefully furnished and decorated cottage. We were three guys on a short walking break but it would be equally good for 4 adults and 2 children. I have stayed in a lot of self-catering accommodation and this was one of the very best.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

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.
