Mrs Diamond
October 2020

“Lovely little cottage, really well equipped and in a beautiful location.”

- Mrs Diamond, October 2020
Dr Bathgate September 2020

“Nothing you should be aware of, the cottage met my expectations.”

It was clean. Fab cooking pots and pans. A spatula and a pastry brush would have been fab but not essential. We did a bit of gardening. A truly beautiful cottage to stay in. I will be back x

“Lovely cottage but it would have been nice if the garden was cleared of a lot of weeds and rubbish.”

Didn’t feel inviting to sit out there. Key box was open when we arrived and once closed would not open. Appeared jammed. Gate needs attention. I did point out these issues to the agent.

“The information in the specification did not point out that the property was not suitable for elderly, pregnant or with a small child - the spiral staircase was steep and narrow not suitable for carrying suitcases upstairs (we left our cases down stairs and lived out of them) State of the art cooker was erratic turning itself off at any time.”

The key safe was jammed on arrival - had to wait an hour for help to arrive (key too large for box). Tv was tuned into Wales for several programmes which prevented us watching some of our favorite programmes.

- Mr Ackroyd, September 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We are sorry that you were not happy with the spiral staircase, it is mentioned in the property description and shown in the photograph, however we have added an extra note to this effect. We do receive Welsh TV from across the sea which is Wales because of the Exmoor hills. Unfortunately we are unable to re-tune it. The cooker has been fixed and the key safe replaced after it became jammed. Owner relations

“This is a really lovely little cottage - perfect for a walking holiday with footpaths galore from the front door so no need to drive.”

It is in a beautiful setting and only a 10 minute walk into town. We really enjoyed our stay here and loved the town of Porlock and Porlock Weir. The cottage was clean and tidy and quiet - no rowdy holiday makers! It was a perfect place to relax.

“The cottage was as described, but there was dirty utentsils in the kitchen, the rug in the lounge had plenty of dog hair, and dead insects in it, and our daughter defiantely ended up with some bite marks on her stomach from lying on the rug, or worse the bed.”

It would not take alot of effort to clean away the cobwebs, and deep clean the rug, especially after guests with dogs have stayed. Shame about the cleanliness. Perhaps also guests can be told where the wood is, so they can use it on the wood burner, if they want, rather than leaving on the lounge, where a dampy must smell lingers. Otherwise the cottage was as described, location was good, easy 10 minute walk to the village and many walks around the cottage. Very lovely part of the UK.

“Lovely little cottage, in a quiet location but withi walking distance of Porlock centre.”

Ideal for couple with a dog.

“The cottage was warm and comfortable but I had a few issues over maintenance.”

The main one was the gutters had not been cleared of debris and in the heavy rain during my stay, the gutter over the front door leaked badly resulting in water running down the inside of the door and soaking the flooring. This appeared to have happened before. The owner/manager was made aware. The courtyard garden was untidy and neglected (as per the site photo) which was a shame as it let the cottage down. It would have been good to have some instructions for the cooker as it was tricky to operate, which other visitors had noted in the visitors book. Despite this I enjoyed my stay in Porlock.

- Mrs Gilbert, February 2020

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your stay at Woodedge. We have spoken with the owner who is already arranging to have the gutters cleared, this will in turn stop the leak to the door. Plans are in place to tidy the garden once the weather improves. Despite the points raised we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay in The Westcountry. Owner relations

The property

In the beautiful, peaceful wooded valley of Hawkcombe, ½ mile from the centre of Porlock, a neat mid-terrace cottage, tenderly refurbished.

To the front, a small enclosed garden (picnic bench) reached via a footbridge and 3 steps over a small babbling stream.

Small step up to stable doors into open-plan living/dining/kitchen (microwave, fridge, electric oven/induction hob) with small woodburner, TV/DVD and folding table/chairs for dining.

Narrow wrought iron spiral stairs up to two bedrooms - a double, and a single (footboard; limited clothes-hanging space).

Bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

A wonderful bijou bolt hole for walkers or anyone looking to explore this beautiful part of Exmoor. Porlock: large village (shops, restaurants, pubs) between Exmoor and the sea, at the foot of the marvellous Vale of Porlock.

The sea (pebble beach) is a mile away across fields or, by car, 2 at Porlock Weir (harbour, pub, pebble beach); sand at Minehead (small resort, good golf, Butlins), 6 miles.

Cookery school/restaurant, 4½ miles.

Excellent base for Exmoor, popular with riders (stables).

About the location

PORLOCK

Minehead 5.5 miles; Lynton 11 miles.

Porlock is a quaint village, popular with tourists due its character, proximity to the lovely North Somerset coastline and situation within the Exmoor National Park. There are plenty of little gift shops along with pubs, cafes and restaurants to be found and only two miles away, the picturesque harbour of Porlock Weir offers wonderful views across the Bristol Channel. The Porlock Hill takes travelers up a steep, winding road out of the village to the Exmoor Hills, where walkers, horse riders and cyclists will love the open space, where ponies and red deer roam the moors. In 2011, Exmoor was designated as Europe’s first International Dark Skies Reserve, and so this is an excellent base for a romantic evening spent gazing at the stars, where a clear night unveils an abundance of interesting constellations to the naked eye. Porlock offers the choice of sea fishing from the weir, and the reservoirs and rivers of Exmoor are only a short, scenic drive away. Golfers can stay in Porlock and enjoy one of the several courses on the edges of Exmoor, with the nearest only seven miles away. The medieval village of Dunster, where the castle dominates the skyline, makes a great day out, or take a ride on the West Somerset steam train along the coast to the little harbour village of Watchet. A fabulous village location with lots of outdoor pursuits to interest every visitor.
