About this property

Grace Cottage, Porlock

Grace Cottage in Porlock is a charming nineteenth century property situated in the heart of the village, yet set back from the main road for peace and quiet. The cottage is very comfortable and well equipped, ideal for couples or families wanting to explore this lovely working village and Exmoor. Grace Cottage in Porlock was remodelled about a decade ago to open up the downstairs living area into a more spacious and light-filled room in which to cook, eat and relax. In 2018 the property was sold to new owners who have dedicated a lot of time and attention to updating this lovely holiday cottage, including a new kitchen fitted with modern facilities; a new log burner in the sitting room for cosy evenings in, plus new beds and linen too. There is one double bed and one twin bedroom. The bathroom has also been updated and includes a powerful shower over the bath and modern large towel rail.

Lovely quite little cottage with contemporary interior. Beds were super comfortable. Porlock is a small village with many amenities, 3 pubs, 2 mini supermarkets, a few galleries and tea rooms. As a family of 4 we stayed here for 10 days and had plenty to do in the surrounding area. We had some great walks, followed by cream teas, hired bikes, drove over to Woolacombe for a day body boarding and my favourite a super fast and fun RIB boat trip from Ilfracombe . Fab holiday. Thank you.

We last stayed in the cottage 8 years ago and welcomed the improvements the new owners have made, particularly the kitchen. All in all a very comfortable and well appointed cottage. Lovely base for exploring Exmoor - the walks from the cottage were quite delightful.

About the host

Host profile image
The village of Porlock is a traditional working Exmoor village; it boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, Post Office, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms.

Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles away. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrison's are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have longer opening hours), most major high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town.
