A perfect stay in the Dog House for our group of 3 couples and two dogs. So nice to have a bathroom each and large open plan kitchen and living space works so well. The whole house is really comfortable, lots of friendly instructions and we’ve never been to a place as dog friendly as this - we really appreciated it. For our 4 night stay we’ve not got in the car once. Plenty of stunning walks on the doorstep, and lots of places for lovely food in Porlock. Overall, a brilliant stay in a wonderful house and perfect location.
