Guests say
The Stable Block in Porlock Weir is highly praised for its stunning views, peaceful location, and friendly locals. Guests enjoy the beautiful garden, proximity to coastal walks, and the cosy atmosphere, especially with the log fire. Some minor issues with facilities like the oven and parking are noted, but the overall experience is positive, with many guests eager to return.
The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with only one mention of a minor issue. The high level of cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of the guests.
The location is frequently highlighted for its stunning views, proximity to the harbour, local pubs, and restaurants, as well as for being an excellent base for coastal walks and exploring the area. The peacefulness and beauty of the location are major draws for visitors.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning the reclining sofa and large comfortable bed. The cosy atmosphere is enhanced by the log fire, although there are some comments about steep stairs and parking challenges for larger vehicles.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and efficient shower. However, there are several mentions of an 'unusable' oven and parking difficulties, which suggests room for improvement in this category.
While guests appreciate the inclusion of wine and milk, there are not enough reviews mentioning such gestures to accurately assess the consistency of thoughtfulness. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such gifts will always be provided.

Well located accommodation with secure grounds providing safe environment for our dog. Very clean, well equipped kitchen although didn’t actually use the oven or hob to be honest. Good sized bath and great shower, plenty of hot water. Bed comfortable with lovely view from bedroom window. Internet was very intermittent and not covering all areas which would be.the only downside which also impacted the main TV usage being internet linked. Overall a nice few nights stay in a quiet area.
