We have stayed in various places in Porlock over the years, and have always had worries about car parking and access. No such worries at Coachmans Cottage. It is also a wonderful location for dog owners, with a secure front court yard, and the use of a large securely fenced orchard at the rear of the property. Lovely views all round. A short walk up through the orchard, onto the bridleway leading to Porlock in one direction, Porlock Weir in the other. The cottage itself is well equipped ( vacuum and ironing board in bedroom cupboard, took us a while to spot those !), warm and very comfortable, excellent wifi and very nice smart TV, interesting selection of books on local area, some written by our host. Small freezer compartment in fridge. The stairs are steep and would not suit someone with mobility issues, especially if they needed to use the bathroom in the night time. David is the ideal host, friendly, always on hand if needed, but not intrusive. This was our second visit, we have already booked again for next year, says it all, really.
