What a lovely place. We were a last minute booking needing a place for two families and a dog. The house was immaculate, easily big enough for all of us and we had a great stay. Lovely welcome packs for us and the dog (Oscar) also. The house is set up very well for dogs so Oscar enjoyed his time. We.... What a lovely place. We were a last minute booking needing a place for two families and a dog. The house was immaculate, easily big enough for all of us and we had a great stay. Lovely welcome packs for us and the dog (Oscar) also. The house is set up very well for dogs so Oscar enjoyed his time. We even put the wood burner on (in late May!) due to it still being chilly. The house is situated bang smack in the middle of Porlock and it's such a beautiful village. Will likely stay again.
