Porlock Weir, a jewel in the Somerset crown
Porlock Weir, a jewel in the Somerset crown

Self Catering Holiday Cottages in Porlock

Pretty as a picture, the friendly village of Porlock has a timeless appeal. Many of the cottages to rent follow the old Somerset style with thick stone walls that keep the occupants cool in summer and cosy in winter. The village and the surrounding area is a favourite with holidaymakers not only for its excellent amenities but also for its location in the Exmoor National Park that is close to the coast with easy access to the beautiful countryside. Staying in or near to the village gives visitors a valuable sense of living like a local, which is an experience a day-tripper has no way of enjoying. Read more

Holidays in Porlock

Porlock may be small, but it has excellent amenities, and the thriving village centre is a great place to buy locally produced food and drink. Doing a food shop here, with independent retailers who know the provenance of the items they sell and who are enthusiastic about the quality of local cheeses, meats, ciders and other treats, is a foodie's delight. Porlock boasts four pubs, four tea rooms, a deli and cheesemonger that attracts gastronomes from around the region, and a butcher, so there is absolutely no reason you can't eat well at every meal. There are also shops selling clothing, homewares, art, antiques and gifts.

Some of the most beautiful walking routes in the Exmoor National Park are close to Porlock. Start by walking the mile and a half to the historic fishing village of Porlock Weir before heading inland through the woods to the tiny St Bueno's Church in Culbone. Walkers will pass the ruins of the mansion once owned by Lord Byron's daughter, Lady Lovelace. Wanting to avoid the gaze of visiting traders and the general public, the privacy hungry Lady Lovelace brought over mountaineers from Switzerland to build tunnels in the hillside that allowed her undetected access to the beach. Dunkery Beacon is another favourite destination with far-reaching views, or you could stroll along the Watersmeet Trail, beside the Tiverton Canal, or across the famous and much-photographed Tarr Steps.

There are miles of footpaths leading from and through Porlock, including the magnificent long-distance South West Coast Path and Coleridge Way. The area is also popular with mountain bikers for the variety and quality of off-road routes, and many cyclists are aware of the punishing reputation of Porlock Hill, whose 1:4 gradient makes it the steepest A-road in England.

Walking and cycling are only two ways to explore this beautiful landscape. Visitors have the choice of pony trekking, taking a 4WD Exmoor Safari, or kayaking or sailing in Porlock Bay.

Somerset is a favourite holiday destination with beach lovers. Visitors staying in Porlock have easy access to some of the best beaches in the Exmoor National Park including the dog-friendly pebble beach at Porlock Weir, Bossington Bay, Combe Martin, and Bossington Bay. The resort town of Minehead is five miles away with two lovely beaches, surf schools and board hire, and the usual seaside resort entertainments. Those who prefer a more secluded spot can walk to the sheltered cove of Heddon's Mouth.

Visitors are not limited when it comes to fun and memorable days out. Whatever the weather or the season, there is something here for everyone. Nearby Dunster is full of listed buildings with a castle, watermill, shops and a beach. Railway lovers can choose from two historic railways - the West Somerset Railway and the Somerset and Dorset Railway, as well as the cliff railway that carries passengers up and down the cliff between Lynton and Lynmouth. Other nearby attractions include the Exmoor Owl and Hawk Centre, Dartmoor Zoo, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, the Quantock Hills AONB, and the market town of Taunton.

While Cornwall and Devon can feel like a long way to go for a holiday, particularly if you only have time for a short break, Somerset's proximity to the M5 and excellent train links make it a fantastic choice for a holiday that is fun and relaxing all year round.
