“The house, garden and its position were wonderful, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and the view was stunning a very peaceful spot!”

The only thing that would have made it any better was an ice machine.

“The place was amazing and we had a fantastic time.”

Only small issue was that the water wasn’t working in a couple of the upstairs bathrooms. Seeing as there were so many bathrooms this didn’t impact us too much! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

“Fantastic location and an excellent place for a reunion.”

“This was a great house for a family get together.”

The kitchen was well equipped for cooking large family meals. There was a problem in some rooms with cluster flies which was annoying for some. The hotel and pub at Porlock weir is within walking distance and serves excellent food. Lots for the children to do in the local area.

“Magnificent large holiday house”

My friends and I do a large group holiday every year and have tried a number of large houses around the UK. This is one of the very best - 15 terrific en-suite rooms, one of the most well-appointed kitchens we've ever found and five minutes from the beach. And just to add to the quality, we accidentally left a few items behind and they were posted back by the owners in a couple of days. Absolutely top-notch if you're looking for a self-catering house in the Porlock area.

Twelve acres of grounds and gardens surround the house, full of mature trees, huge lawns (croquet, play area), small stream and rhododendrons, all managed as a wildlife habitat.

Wisteria cascades from the verandah, with the pebbly beach (excellent surfing for experts) only 250 yards' walk away across two fields.Inside, a wonderful mix of comfort, elegance and space.

Inner hall opening to beamed living room with leather chairs and handsome fireplace (woodburner).

Off this room, a wood-panelled bar (glasses provided, bring your bottles), a rather splendid loo and two more living rooms, one suiting youngsters with TV/DVD, children's snooker table, table football, and one elegant with French windows to the terrace (barbecue), TV and terrific views - just right for evening drinks.
