Guests consistently praise the cottage for its well-equipped kitchen, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Its location is appreciated for being quiet yet central, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. The property is described as comfortable, with a cosy wood burner and a private courtyard garden. It is also dog-friendly, adding to its appeal for those with pets.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently mention the property being 'spotlessly clean' and 'immaculate', indicating a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The cottage is lauded for its excellent location, tucked away for privacy but with immediate access to Porlock's high street, shops, and eateries, as well as proximity to walking paths and local attractions.
Comfort is highlighted with mentions of a 'very comfortable' house, 'super comfortable' beds, and a cosy atmosphere, especially with the wood burner. However, some guests noted issues with seating arrangements and the layout for dogs.
Facilities are generally praised, especially the kitchen, but some guests suggested additional improvements such as more sofas or TVs in certain areas. The mention of steep stairs and the layout across different levels indicates that while facilities are good, they may not be ideal for everyone.
While many reviews express satisfaction with the property's offerings, there is insufficient information to assess the level of thoughtfulness in terms of gifts or special touches provided by the hosts. Therefore, a score cannot be given.
