Additional Location Information
Situated in a quiet corner of West Somerset, Porlock Weir is nestled in a sheltered spot beneath the moor along the beautiful coastline - where the moor meets the sea.
Porlock Weir is one of the most beautiful places in Somerset. It is located 1.5 miles from the coastal village of Porlock and is in the heart of Exmoor National Park.
The port of Porlock Weir has a long and colourful history but today it's a quiet harbour and a thriving community that welcomes tourists every year, many of whom come to enjoy the pretty scenery, shops, tea rooms, great ale and award winning local cuisine.
Porlock Weir is a great destination for anyone looking for the perfect setting for a holiday in the great outdoors! There's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.
Exmoor really has something for everyone, it is a place full of contrasts; dramatic coastlines of plunging cliffs, sheltered bays and historic ports, wide open space and wilderness of the moors as well as the wooded valleys with quiet trails for you to enjoy. Exmoor is a holiday destination of unrivaled beauty and interest.

Bournemouth, England, United KingdomWish we could wake up to that view every day. Gorgeous.
Left on 05/02/2013 for a stay in April 2013
Had a lovely 3 nights in The Coach House. The view is stunning. The cottage is spacious yet cosy. Lovely to go to bed and see the stars above through the velux window. All very clean and welcoming.
Lovely walks.
Went on safari over Exmoor with Richard of Discovery Safaris in Porlock. A must. A larger than life character full of local knowledge.
Great food at The Culbone. Great shops for delicious bread and cakes in Porlock.
Hope to be back soon.

What a find!
Fantastic in every way. Gorgeous location being set between sea and the National Forest.
Amazing views from kitchen and bedroom windows. Lovely heated flooring. Everything there you could possibly need, a real home from home with lovely personal touches like a bottle of wine, some milk, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar. W/U/L, tea towel etc all there.
Extremely comfy bed set under beams in a beautifully set out bedroom.
Books, magazines and plenty of information in cottage and a secure garden with electric gates.
5 mins walk from eating places. Many beautiful walks.
Would recommend this place 100% and will definately be returning. -

Exeter, United KingdomAnother lovely break.
Left on 04/04/2013 for a stay in March 2013
We have stayed here for several years now and will continue to do so. The location never fails to delight and the accommodation is exactly what we want. It helps of course being able to take our two dogs who now recognise the place as their own - not to mention the excellent under-paw heating. Actually this is the only fault we have ever found, sometimes the heating is too efficient, but not this year - oh no, exactly what was wanted in sub-zero temperatures.
Friendly, helpful, hassal-free service -

Easy directions,and arrival instructions
amazing position and quality interior. Very pleased with our stay and great to be able to switch off from normal daily routine. Walked from back door everyday...no need to use car brilliant
Exmoor cooking in the small units in the harbour was a good find for some welcome and nice fish and chips
We will visit again and already passed details to friends and family -

Liphook, United KingdomGreat location for a relaxing country break
Left on 02/24/2013 for a stay in February 2013
Had a really nice weekend at The Coach House with partner and our six month old daughter, stunning views from the property over Porlock Bay. Equipped with everything needed and finished off to a really high standard. Had some lovely walks and early evening wanders down to the Weir and the lovely Ship Inn.
One top for visiting Porlock - don't bother with the Old Chapel for lunch / drinks - we were turned away as we had a pram with us, owner really rude. Not impressed. Fortunately had a brilliant lunch at the other Ship Inn so all good in the end. -

Painless booking process.This is a superb location and the accommodation is superbly equipped with everything you could need to make your stay hassle free.I would recommend this to anyone looking for a break in superb countryside or even just a weekend to get away from it all,the owners are very nice people and nothing seemed too much trouble for them.All in all a superb cottage well worth a visit.

Left on 02/03/2013 for a stay in January 2013
We stayed at the Coach House last weekend and as ever was a real treat. We have become regular visitors to both the Coach House and The Stable Block over the last couple of years.
We have stayed in many and varies places over the years, and have to say that this is one of the best places we have stayed at. Very comfortable, very spacious, fantastic views and literally everything that you need. Situated in its own grounds, yet a short stroll down to Porlock Weir.
We cannot recommend these places highly enough, and will certainly be returning again. You will not be disappointed. -

EnglandFantastic accommodation, Beautiful area
Left on 12/03/2012 for a stay in November 2012
We stayed for my birthday weekend in November 2012 & the Coach House is lovely inside & out. The views are wonderful and the area is fantastic. I didnt want to leave. Our rescue dog just thrived in the gardens & on the beach. There is so much to visit nearby in the spring/ summer - Dunster Castle & village, Selworthy tearooms, travel on the steam trains etc. Porlock Weir is a relaxed area & lots of walks in all weathers. The Coach House was lovely & warm, fully equiped & we will definately return again

Left on 11/22/2012 for a stay in November 2012
Beautiful place, well equipped, comfortable, warm and spacious. Ideal location as can walk to Porlock Weir's pub and several eating establishments in 5 minutes. Great place to take a dog with a garden to access too. For a one bedroom place very spacious and great sea view from kitchen window. Under floor heating a treat. Lots to see and do locally, whether a walker or not. We always enjoy the peace here and it is very quiet in the evening, especially when we come which is out of season. Last visit was the third time, will definitely come back.
