West Wind in Porlock is situated in a delightful location on the edge of the village and off a private no-through road. It is positioned to take full advantage of the wonderful views over farmland, the marshes and to the coastline. West Wind sleeps up to 6 guest in three bedrooms.
Entrance to the property is via a porch with space for shoes, boots and hanging coats, then into the sitting room with two sofas and chair, and realistic 'electric wood burner', which provides heat as well as cosy orange flames. Smart TV and DVD player.
There are two downstairs bedrooms off the lounge. The front bedroom (with hill and sea views) has zip-link beds which can be made into a double bed (super-king size) or twin beds, this bedroom will be made up as a double bed unless otherwise requested at time of booking.

The stairs lead from the dining area to the first floor where there is a third double bedroom (King-size bed) with panoramic hill and sea views and an en-suite bathroom, comprising bath, toilet and hand basin.
All three of the bedrooms have a hanging rail which can accommodate at least a dozen hangers each and all bedrooms have good-sized chests of drawers.

Beautiful cottage, but the extreme low water pressure was a bit let down. Could be cleaner! Garden pathways and decking needs clearing back as overgrown. Well equipped property with everything you would need, stunning views from top of the garden,

The cottage is very well equipped for self catering. The beds were comfortable. We would absolutely book again if we visited Porlock. The location at the foot of Porlock Hill was great. It is a bit of a climb to the cottage from the village but we were fine with that. Lovely walks from the front door and good local pubs. We eat at the Ship on the first night - definitely book at the weekend - it was heaving and they only just managed to squeeze our party of six in when we called the day before.
