Great Stay at Porlock
A really lovely cottage and communication with the owner was enough without being overbearing. The location was good and had easy walks to the local village pub (always important). I think the only thing that could possibly be improved (if possible due to the age of the building) is the shower but completely understand why it may not be possible.

The bathroom was cold. Nice touch re welcome milk, butter etc.
A few details lacking. Quite a few bulbs not working downstairs making it a bit gloomy. Also no facilities for recycling or food waste despite suggesting this in the manual. Small points for an otherwise very pleasant rental in a quiet and secluded location. Happy to return someday.

Lovely cottage, lovely location
Just what we needed - ideal cottage for a couple wanting to get away for the weekend. Beautiful views of the sea from the bedroom window and from the garden. Easy (but muddy!) stroll down to Porlock Weir for dinner at the pub. Lovely to come inside and dry out in front of a roaring fire after walking through the storm! Great to have the basics provided as well - bread, butter, milk, biscuits, tea, coffee and sugar.

Ferienhaus in toller Lage
Wir hatten einen erholsamen Aufenthalt in Worthy Cottage. Besonders gut gefiel uns die ruhige Lage. Wir konnten direkt vom Haus aus auf den Coast Path wandern und mit dem Bus nach Porlock zurück fahren. Auch die Nähe zum Exmoor hat uns gut gefallen. Sowohl Porlock Weir als auch Porlock sind nette Küstenorte. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.
