The location is highly praised for its tranquillity, proximity to Porlock, and direct access to walking routes. The scenic surroundings and quiet setting contribute to a very positive experience.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy, comfortable, and spacious, with an inviting atmosphere. Some guests, however, found the furniture a bit dated and less comfortable, which slightly impacts the overall comfort score.
The cottage is well-equipped, with a particularly well-stocked kitchen. However, some guests noted dated appliances and maintenance issues such as a fridge shelf held with duct tape, which suggests room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
While some guests mentioned receiving a bottle of wine and flowers upon arrival, there are not enough reviews referencing such gestures to accurately assess the consistency of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it is politely noted that such gifts are appreciated but not guaranteed.

Accommodation
Downstairs there is a cosy lounge with an open fire. There is a separate dining room - we have had to board up the fire place in this room so it is out of action. There's a TV, lots of books and games for rainy days and lazy evenings in front of the fire. Both rooms have views across the combe. The kitchen is to the rear of the cottage and is equipped with an electric oven, hob, fridge, separate freezer, microwave, electric kettle, toaster, and washer-dryer.
Upstairs is the bathroom, comprising shower over the bath (please bear this in mind if you have mobility issues), toilet and hand basin. The two bedrooms are also upstairs, one double and one twin room, both have views to the front of the cottage and you can hear the stream running alongside the garden at the front.
WiFi, central heating and electricity are included. Coal and logs are available in Porlock. (We may be able to provide nets of logs for a small charge if you give us a week's notice.)
All bed linen, towels and tea towels will be provided. Please bring your own beach towels if you wish to take them outside the cottage on day trips.
Please note, there is no cot, stair gate, or highchair.
