What our customers say about their holidays

  Woodedge Cottage is a modern well fitted out cottage in a quiet part of the village of Porlock.

  There is good access to the village five minutes walk down the road, or the woods and walks just to the west. The layout of both the downstairs and upstairs is confined with not much room for a party bigger than two. Downstairs you step directly into the lounge with only a doormat for changing boots or, as in our case, drying dogs. There is a gap under the stairs which became useful as a storage for boots and bags. Upstairs is a good double room, small single and the small bathroom, with a decent shower and no shortage of hot water that we noticed. The material state of the cottage is good with a modern fitted out kitchen which is essential for a self-catering holiday. There is a dining table and chairs provided, but we did not use them. The television and internet connection worked well for all of our stay. Throughout it is well decorated and clean, with good beds and some cupboards for clothing in the main room. Outside the garden has a picnic style table to sit at but the whole front area would benefit from a makeover or just a good trim and tidy as plants were starting to intrude on the seating and path. Parking is available nearby in a few places.

  Setting & location perfect.

  Very enjoyable visit Directions could be a little better as we didn't really understand where the left fork was going to be and it feels like you may be going up a lane you might get stuck in. I would clarify that left fork is at a junction where straight ahead is signed dead end and that the lane opens up at the cottages Can you make it clear that there are no toiletries, the only soap in the cottage was hand soap that had been watered down The Washing up bowl is strange and leaks The switches in the airing cupboard are confusing, labels would be great The Immersion hesater could do with proper insulation Recycling info needs updating The shower is a bit confusing and has a display that is a bit wonky and buttons we didn't understand A Dining table light would be useful Not big grumbles but room for improvement Thanks

  Woodedge is a beautiful, small, bijoux cottage nestled near the top of a small valley on the southern edge of Porlock.

  The level of comfort, cleanliness and facilities were all excellent. The cottage is very well equipped with everything needed to cook at home. There was a good selection of DVDs and books plus the smart TV gives access to your own subscribed channels - Netflix, Disney+, etc. The location is perfect for anyone travelling with dogs (like us) as there is a large recreation ground with separate, enclosed exercise area just a few minutes walk from the cottage. The centre of Porlock, with several pubs and a useful selection of shops is less than 10 minutes walk. There are many beautiful walks right from the front door - up Ley Hill on the edge of Exmoor, the coastal path provides easy access to quaint little Porlock Weir or longer walks on Exmoor or along the coastal path. All in all, a great place to stay.

  We really dislike writing such a bad review but we have no choice.

  The dreadful smell of damp throughout, when we left to go out, the smell hit us when we returned.The lounge was very dreary, the stall was awful, it couldn't be used as it had hard lumps all over but dipped in the middle, very basic. The so called garden was actually a yard, a mess, even if it did have proper garden furniture, which it didn't, we would not have sat out there. The upstairs was much nicer, the main bedroom was lovely, but still the smell of damp. We would not like anybody else to stay there in its condition. We were so pleased to leave, a complete waste of money, we have never wanted a holiday to come to an end, very upsetting.Jean and George Chivers.
