Guests are delighted with Bowness, a charming cottage in Porlock, praising its spacious, well-equipped kitchen, cosy wood burner, and secure garden for dogs. Its central yet tucked-away location offers tranquillity and convenience, with local shops and eateries nearby. The property's cleanliness, comfort, and facilities receive commendations, making it an ideal base for exploring the area and enjoying family gatherings.
The cottage is consistently described as immaculately clean, which indicates a high standard of cleanliness maintained throughout the property.
The central location in Porlock is highly appreciated for its convenience to local amenities and as a base for exploring the surrounding area, though parking can be challenging.
The comfortable beds and well-furnished living spaces are frequently mentioned, although the absence of a toilet on the top floor and steep stairs to the third floor are noted as minor inconveniences.
The property is well-equipped with modern facilities, including a large kitchen and good heating. However, some guests mention temperamental keys and a desire for additional amenities in the kitchen.
While guests express gratitude for the property's offerings and a cake is mentioned, there is insufficient information to determine if gifts are a regular occurrence. Therefore, it should be noted that such thoughtful gestures, while appreciated, are not guaranteed.

Bowness is a lovely house tucked away behind the main street. Very quiet and convenient location for shops and eateries . Fabulous location for walking on the coast and on Exmoor. Well equipped, comfortable house full of character and attractive furnishings. Sheltered and attractive courtyard type garden. Although no parking with the property we always found parking nearby.
