Description

Coachman's Cottage offers a unique bolthole for couples seeking a peaceful coastal retreat. The charming old stable block has been renovated to a fantastic standard, yet retains many original features.

The cottage has a very bright and spacious feel, downstairs is the kitchen with dining area, a separate living room with floor to ceiling windows, and bathroom with shower over the bath. The kitchen door opens directly into a private walled courtyard, providing the perfect spot to eat alfresco. Upstairs the bedroom has a king-sized double bed and enjoys superb views across the garden, Porlock Vale and beyond.

The cottage is situated in outstanding walking country and for the more energetic there are coastal, woodland and moorland walks served by a network of superb paths almost from the door!

Coachman's Cottage is situated between Porlock and Porlock Weir. The property is set back from the road and accessed via a private drive (shared only with the owners property, which is next door).

Coachman's Cottage kitchen is fitted with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge freezer, microwave, electric oven and hob. Other equipment includes cookware, toaster, kettle, a variety of kitchen utensils, cutlery, crockery and glasses. A television and CD player is provided in the living room plus a second television in the bedroom and wireless broadband is available throughout the property. A travel cot and/or high chair is available; please request them when booking so we can make sure they are present for your arrival.

Electricity and heating costs are included in the price of your accommodation. Coachman's Cottage is fitted with central heating throughout, plus underfloor heating in the bathroom. There is also a log-burner in the living room, one basket of logs will be provided to get you started and additional logs can be purchased from the hardware shop in Porlock.

Bed linen, duvets, blankets and towels are provided for your convenience, but please bring your own beach towels if you wish to take towels with you on day trips. Bed linen is not supplied for the cot.

Small amounts of basic supplies are provided - salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee, sugar, toilet rolls, washing up materials, etc

Coachman's Cottage is set alongside the main house and has easy parking for two cars. The cottage is approached via a private drive (shared with owners property). There is a private courtyard adjacent to the cottage and access to a stock-free and fenced meadow immediately behind the property.

“Wow, wow and wow”

Reviewed 27 Aug 2021

First visit to Coachman Cottage. Greeted by owner David eventhough we were late arriving. There was not one thing we needed in the cottage. Kitchen fully equipped including dishwasher. Very clean and homely and even washing machine hidden in the cupboard. A bonus for us with two retrievers was the orchard at the rear. Fully enclosed and safe for them to get a good run. Central for any visits to nearby village of Porlock or other direction, Porlock Weir. Minehead only a short drive away and even ventured to Lynmouth which was so pretty. Oh and I need to mention the bed. Oh my, soo comfortable. If you think nothing replaces your own bed, then you need to stay here. Beautiful sea views from your bedroom and living area and to the right glorious rolling hills. Highly recommend Horner Vale tea rooms set in a stunning valley only a 5 minute drive with plenty of parking and dogs welcome. Can't wait to get our holiday dates for next year so we can book. We are now going to be regulR visitors.
