Plenty of space and a great toy room for the little ones with so many different toys ! Good location for walking into the cute village of Porlock. Delicious cream tea at Whortleberry tea rooms and a lovely pub meal at the Top Ship. The local recreation ground has a lovely park and big fields for playing ball games. Loved exploring the area. So much to do. Would definitely come back again.

Redway Lodge was in a great location allowing easy access to the beautiful village of Porlock with its great facilities. The house itself is huge and as a small group of 4 adults, we had plenty of choice in terms of the 4 well appointed bedrooms & modern en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers. The kitchen & dining areas were also great and everything was at hand to prepare & enjoy home-made meals. The only slight disappointment we had was the lounge area which looked a little drab & tired as regard its decor. That said, it had plenty of space with 6 settees albeit these were configured in such a way that one or more had to be moved to allow more comfortable viewing of the TV. Quite clearly Redway Lodge is a ideal location for a large families with children - that said, we had a lovely stay and would recommend the home to anyone visiting the Porlock area.
