Many of the shops in Porlock Weir and Porlock are open during traditional hours of 9 am to 5 pm, although hours are often extended during the summer season.

The position is lovely, nice walk every morning with the dog to the beach, although it did shelve too steeply for me to get to the water. Loved seeing some of the many horses, especially little Billy. The owners and other staff were such nice people and parking was easy.

There is not much that I can add to the 5 Stars all round. However we had one of the best holidays in years, in fact on a couple of days we were tempted to just sit and read on the patio, it was so relaxing.

We have had cottages for years but this one had the most comfortable bed and brilliant shower. It has large rooms, is really airy with excellent heating which you can adjust yourself and very well equipped. The welcome pack was very 'welcoming' after that journey down the A39. The grounds are beautiful and we were free to roam. There were dog proofed paths down to the beach, although if you are unsteady on your feet the beach is rather precarious. The photograph is shown from the back of the property, the front is stunning. The garden was dog proofed very well. Porlock itself is a lovely village with many good eateries. All in all it was perfect place for us and we have a lovely peaceful holiday.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Exmoor is situated in South West Britain, specifically across West Somerset and North Devon. Often referred to as England's best kept secret, Exmoor is a wonderful holiday destination for anyone looking for a holiday in the great outdoors! There's so much to see and do, from short walks to long expeditions across the moors or horse riding, taking in a safari or sight-seeing at your own pace around the 'picture postcard' villages and hamlets.

Porlock Weir has a quaint little harbour and its own unique charm; the port has a long and colourful history. Today Porlock Weir is a quiet harbour and a thriving community that welcomes tourists every year, many of whom come to enjoy the pretty scenery, shops, tea rooms, pubs and local cuisine. On a fine day, the South West Coast Path offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the fabulous views across Porlock Weir and the bay. The coastal footpath links up with many other walking trails including Culbone, home to the smallest church in England. One of the more unusual attractions at Porlock Weir is the submerged forest. At low tide, the remains of ancient tree trunks arise from the grey clay soil. These desiccated stumps are the last remaining evidence of a forest that, once upon a time, lay five miles inland.
