  A lovely cottage in a excellent state of decor.

  Fabulous shower, comfortable beds, good kitchen. We would stay again. Our only gripes were , the advertised WiFi is misleading , there is no broadband at the property an internet access depended on the nearby visitors centre and was low strength, did not work throughout the property and dropped regularly. I ended up committing to an increase of £23/month for 18 months on my Vodafone account to provide stable internet as both my wife and I are IT professionals and regular internet users. Also the directions do not mention that parking is not at the property and is down the hill behind the fire station. We spent quite some time on arrival driving around the property trying to work out where to park. In the end I asked at the visitors centre over the road fortunately they knew where the designated parking was and also said we could unload on their car park. Whilst the parking did not spoil the stay at all, clear directions should be given as part of the directions. We would definitely recommend loading and unloading at the visitors centre. Overall we had a lively time and enjoyed The Pound.

  Lovely converted building, well equipped, although if there were 4 people, just one bathroom with toilet might be an issue. We were there at Christmas and it was warm without needing the log burner. Very quiet and dark at night. Very comfy beds. Outdoor welly boot rack, and plenty of hooks inside.... Lovely converted building, well equipped, although if there were 4 people, just one bathroom with toilet might be an issue. We were there at Christmas and it was warm without needing the log burner. Very quiet and dark at night. Very comfy beds. Outdoor welly boot rack, and plenty of hooks inside the kitchen cupboard for outdoor wear. Although no food provided (as they state - to avoid waste) in addition to what is listed, they do provide tea towels, kitchen towels, oven gloves, cling film, foil, dishwasher tabs and liquid, bin liners, dishcloth and brush - helpful to know what not to bring, There is also a Karcher machine to remove the condensation on the windows. TV is freesat only, so we brought our Firestick, which was helpful.

  +ve: The cottage is very quaint, well equipped and convenient location.

  As you would expect with an old property, there were a few cobwebs - but otherwise very clean. We were delighted to find the welcome cake - thank you. -ve: There’s a patch of flaking wall in second bedroom; it may or may not be caused by damp, but if I had children sleeping in that room, it would have been of concern to me (I didn’t, so it wasn’t, and the room doesn’t smell damp - so I just raise this from a “perception” point of view). -The bulb in one of the bedside lights needs replacing; -We couldn’t find any instructions for recycling (although there is a black bin for general rubbish - we were unsure what to do with glass, plastic, cardboard etc. it said in the instruction booklet - see separate sheet, but it seemed to be missing? - we also couldn’t find a visitors book for comments - we always find these a very useful source of local information/recommendations!

  We had a great stay at Pound cottage.

  It was in a fantastic location in the centre of Porlock. We did not have any issues with the parking. There were clear instructions in the cottage information folder. The kitchen dinner was very spacious but you would struggle to accommodate 6 adults in the lounge. We did find the sofas were very low which made us difficult to get up. There were 3 large bedrooms. The mattresses on the double bed could do with replacing as it was very soft and you could feel the springs. We did have a number of power cuts during our stay and the emergency solar torch was flat. The local pubs were great and stayed open during the power cuts. We ate at the ship a couple of times and the food and service were both excellent. The garden looked lovely and would love to return in the summer so we could enjoy it.
