3 Lowerbourne Terrace

Another perfect week at 3 Lowerbourne Terrace.

We stay here every year and love this property It's perfectly situated, extremely comfortable and very well equipped.

another lovely comfortable holiday at this cottage.

The cottage is very clean, and exceptionally comfortable.

The kitchen is very well equipped. The only downside is the parking. Yes, they say "off road parking", and that is true, but it is a difficult place to park outside, considering there are other vehicles in the terrace, although no-one actually parked in our space. Since they recommend reversing down the terrace so that it is easier to get out again onto the High Street, this would not have been very easy. However, the owner did say there were other car parks in the village, and we'd made use of one of these. We would like to recommend Whotleberry Tearoom on the High Street in Porlock. Such a lovely, welcoming couple who run it and an excellent tearoom, with homemade cakes, and scones with cream and jam as well as other food on the menu. We would also recommend visiting Dovery Manor Museum, in Porlock, where admission is free. It is a small, but very interesting museum about people and places in the area. Another place we would recommend is Kitnors Tea Garden in Bossington. A charming thatched cottage with picnic tables in the lovely garden and view of Bossington Hill above. Also small marquee available in wet weather. An excellent place to visit, and a car park nearby. The Ship Inn in Porlock is also excellent and provides very good meals, and friendly staff. An area very well worth visiting, including Porlock Weir, with pub, hotel and Harbour Coffee Shop. The studio of Hannah Norman in Porlock is also worth a visit. She paints excellent pet portraits... and the list goes on!!

Lowerbourne is in an ideal location for porlock village.

Lots of walks close by, lovely walks to The Weir and many more surrounding walks. Short drive to Minehead, Lynmouth and Lynton, and Dunster Castle. The cottage is cosy and beds are really comfortable. We had a problem with the shower as it was extremely hot and we struggled to turn it down as the control was faulty, we managed to set it but I think this needs addressing for other visitors. Some of the pans in the kitchen was a bit dirty and looked like they needed replacing But overall the cottage is nice and value for money. Pretty little garden with the conservatory which was great for drying clothes !

We absolutely loved our stay here.

Lovely living room to relax in and the beds we're all very comfy. It was a beautiful, well maintained cottage in a lovely little village that served as a perfect base for lots a great days out. The village is just a few steps away with bakeries, cafe, a pub and some shops.

Spent a weekend at 3 Lowerbourne terrace in Porlock .

It a very well equipped house which sleeps 6 comfortably and was in a good location for many lovely walks and all the shops and pubs of Porlock . Would reccomend .

Just back from a fantastic week in Porlock.

This was our second time staying at 3 Lowerbourne Terrace. We love the cottage, its absolutely perfect... really spacious and so well equipped. Can't wait to come back.

The cottage was really well equipped and comfortable.

It was in a really great location - a good base for exploring Exmoor and the first section of the SW Coast Path. We really enjoyed being in the heart of the village with the facilities that came with that - nice restaurant options and convenient shops.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Great location, only a 2 minute walk to shops pubs and cafe's. Good walking from the doorstep or a short drive taking in some of the most amazing views. Comfy beds and powerful hot shower. We loved the space in the cottage and good outdoor space. We would definitely recommend. Thank you for the instructions to reverse up to the parking which was ok, better than expected and we were in a X1 BMW.

We had a fantastic week in Porlock.

The cottage was absolutely perfect. Really spacious, spotlessly clean and so well equipped.....thank you it was everything we could have wished for. We will definitely be returning.

This was a three generation holiday and the accommodation managed to tick the box for all of us.

The weather was inclement and the house was warm and comfortable to come back to after brisk wet walks.

Just got home after a brilliant week at Lowerbourne Terrace.

A beautifully presented house which proved a great base for our week in Exmoor. A well equipped kitchen with everything you can think of. Parking a little tight as others have mentioned but we knew this in advance and actually as we went ‘out of season’ we were able to find space for our second car really easily. We shall certainly be returning to this lovely property. Thank you!

We have had a wonderful stay here and were all sad to leave!

Lower bourne was a great base to be able to access other areas nearby. The kitchen is very clean and has everything you could possibly need to cook meals. It is only a short walk to a shop, pub or the local park which our 8 year old loved!! Walls are also just on the doorstep. The surroundings are just beautiful!! I would say the only downside is the parking, the junction can be a bit tricky when reversing in but every other house has the same issue with parking. It’s not easy if you have a big/long car but it’s doable. Definitely wouldn’t put me off coming again! Thank you for a fabulous stay!

Lovely cottage perfectly described great locations all amenities required were there.

Loved it

The difficuly in parking was a real issue for us.

Once we'd arrived we decided not to move the car all week. The property is advertised as having a parking spot, and this was a major reason for choosing this property, however it was not until I'd paid in full that I was told about the need to reverse down the lane. I think you need to be more up front about this.

The cottage is lovingly maintained and very well equipped.

We met and spoke to many of the neighbours who were friendly and welcoming.

Had a wonderful time, great location, accommodation was fantastic, would not hesitate to stay again,excellent value also

Lovely property, excellent facilities and quiet location.

We had a fabulous time and would definately recommend this property to friends and family. Thank you

Great cottage in a wonderful village, loved it

This is a tastefully furnished property with a very well equipped kitchen; an ideal location to base for hiking in West Somerset and North Devon.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying here.

Located in the heart of Porlock the cottage has everything you need… really hot shower and well equipped kitchen.

The walks along the coastal path were stunning … we just needed a little more sunshine.

Had a wonderful stay.

Loved spending time in the cottage. The shower water was always cold So that was a bit of a disappointment. Otherwise 10 out of 10

Lovely house,plenty of space.

Convenient for the village and walks, also a good base for exploring Minehead, Lynton, Lynmouth, Lynton & Barnstaple railway and the picturesque villages of Exmoor. Small issues, no hairdryer or iron (we were attending a big family wedding) and shower quite cold. We stay in cottages quite often & these are always provided.

Our stay at 3 Lowerbourne Terrace was very enjoyable, we found it in great condition with everything needed.

Kitchen and bathroom immaculate well stocked easy to use spaces. Property nice and quiet even though in the heart of Porlock with high St and pubs just yards away. Parking great to have a space outside Property and best to reverse to space from high street. Overall great place to stay in and wouldn't hesitate to stay there again when in area. Brilliant find and had more than we expected...

We have had another great Christmas holiday again at this house and we love it.

Thank you.

We had an enjoyable stay and the cottage is well equipped.

I think you should say the stairs are very steep and the oil fired heating did smell a bit upstairs. Also I think staying on Exmoor any heating needs to be set by the occupants not predetermined.Had we paid the full price our stay would have been deemed too expensive. (The toilet seat is very loose too ☹️)

First the cons: One hand towel for 6 adults is ridiculous with a bathroom, separate toilet and kitchen sink.

Only one tea towel. Only one washing cloth. No cleaning products for the kitchen or bathroom. The heating timer setting was unsuitable for the cool/wet autumn. Origami toilet paper (keep folding until you get something usable). We did report a loose toilet seat in the bathroom but had no feedback. Now the pros: Very comfortable beds. We had a problem with the king bed not being split into singles and this was dealt with within an hour. Very well furnished. All the kitchen equipment was more than adequate so that while the dish washer was on there was still enough cutlery and plates/cups etc to have a full meal. Really enjoyed the covered conservatory area. Well positioned in Porlock for enjoyable walks around the village and great for the North Devon coast. If the cons could be addressed this would be a 5 star for us all.

Really nice cottage, well equipped, parking is a little tight but perfectly manageable even with an suv Could do with some more tea towels but minor issue Main concern was a strong smell of heating oil, never stayed somewhere with oil central heating so wasn’t sure if this was normal, messaged the contact number on the Sunday, got response on Monday saying they would check with the owners, we assumed that’s who we had contacted, but never heard back.

Without this issue would have given full marks.

It's a great property and well equipped.

Very central to the village and a bonus to have parking right outside the cottage. Reversing into the road was not a problem and much easier than we thought from previous comments. We visit Porlock once a year to visit friends in the village and would definitely recommend this cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lowerbourne Terrace.

The house has a lovely feel and is very comfortable, the lounge and the beds. The kitchen has everything you need and the welcome biscuits were a lovely touch. The shower is powerful, very much appreciated by our girls with long hair. The location is perfect and we enjoyed exploring the village lanes with our dog each morning. Thank you

Lovely cottage, in a fantastic, quiet location just off the High Street in the pretty village of Porlock.

Great walks on your doorstep and a good selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, making a wonderful base fora relaxing holiday. The cottage is very pretty, with a cute, sunny garden and a sea view from the top bedroom. Very thoughtfully equipped, the kitchen had everything we could possibly want, including a few unexpected things, like baking equipment, Tupperware and enough mugs and plates to only out the dishwasher on once a day! Beds were very comfortable, with good quality linen. The only annoyance was that the heating kept coming on (in May!) and that there were no instructions for turning it off.

We had a lovely stay, the cottage is right in the middle of porlock, with shops and pubs a easy walk away, we found the cottage very comfortable with everything we needed, the only set back is as previous people had commented is the parking, you do have to reverse into the space from the main road, having said that it would not stop us returning.

Really enjoyed the property and holiday.

Would definitely book again.

Thank you again for a great couple of days.

We know the place so well and having a really beautiful place to stay does make a difference. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone.

My overwhelming memory of staying here is how disappointed we were to find we had literally been left the bare minimum possible and had to go out almost as quickly as we'd turned up.

Not want you want on a cold winters evening, in a place you know nothing about. It was new years break, so of course, it would have been lovely to have a bottle of fizz in the fridge or at least something to mark the big occasion, there was nothing. Ok, not something we've historically encountered, but that was a 'nice to have'. What isn't a nice to have is the basics. We were literally left the bare bones to get us through our immediate arrival - a sachet of milk each....? A tea bag... less than a coffee sachet each....? I couldn't believe it. A couple of pints is only £1 and could've seen us through til morning. A loaf of bread, a block of butter. We weren't left ANYTHING to wipe down surfaces or clean up after ourselves. No sponge, kitchen roll, dishcloth or anything in this regard. 2 rolls of toilet tissue between 6 people, 2 dishwasher tablets, no bin bags other than the one which was in situ. It all felt really basic and minimal and if I'm honest...tight. It wasn't a cheap stay, but it was made to feel cheap by the lack of welcome we felt we had as a family. 6 of us staying from Wednesday until Saturday. It wouldn't have cost much at all, but would've made such a positive impact. The only other feedback I can offer is that if you are unable to make the super king into 2 beds on a short notice booking this needs to be conveyed to guests before they book. This was imperative for us, so when we arrived to find the bed still as a superking it was a problem. I wouldnt have boked the property if I had known this. Not hearing back from Adrian was also disappointing, I had assumed that all was fine, given that he didnt get in touch with me as he said he would. Such a shame

Thankyou for making our 3 day stay over Christmas really enjoyable.

This was our first Christmas away From home and it was fantastic. The house was beautiful and clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely be coming back soon as we now Porlock very well. Thank you and Merry Christmas!!

The accommodation was very clean and the decor was pristine.

The range and amount of equipment in the kitchen was excellent. The location was ideal, situated right in the centre of the town but tucked away in a quiet cul de sac.

I missed having a bath, and the shower was not very hot.

I found the bed very uncomfortable - pillows especially. A large kitchen bin would have been helpful. Otherwise, it was very comfortable and homely.

One of the most comfortable places we've stayed, beds amazing!

! So spacious and brilliant facilities. Location absolutely fantastic although parking could be an issue when all of the court is occupied, you would have to reverse into quite a narrow entrance off the High Street.

Beautiful property with absolutely everything you coul ever want.

Parking a little awkward but worth the effort!

Really enjoyed our stay.

Location was perfect ..everything within walking distance. Accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Would definitely would recommend.

Superb cottage clean well very well equipped parking only problem anyone with large car would struggle as space very tight to manoeuvre into.

The cottage was delightful, clean, cosy, well equipped and in the heart of the lovely village of Porlock.

It's been recently modernised and has everything you could possibly need for an enjoyable break. Porlock has lots of shops and pubs right on your doorstop as well as being a great place to walk from and explore the countryside and coast. Absolutely perfect.

This house is located in a cul de sac in the middle of Porlock.

There is a great grocery shop in the village who had everything we needed. We also had take away dinners from a couple of fish and chip shops. We took talks to the coastline, which is about 10-15 mins away. This immaculate house has just been refurbished and had everything we needed - well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a nice outside space. We hope to stay at 3 Lowerbourne Terrace again!
