To start with the simple things: wonderfully located, slightly elevated with a view over Porlock, the sea and beautiful coastline. Nice spacious room with a superior bathroom and very very nice shower. But how to do just to the special and indeed...

Ruth was an exceptional host. She went way above expectations & provided us with everything we could possibly need. She opened her home to us & was exceedingly generous with everything. We definitely plan a return visit.

I’ve always been drawn to this corner of England where the moors meet the sea. After a long search, I found this Victorian gem; one look at the exquisite sea view from the front door and I was sold. I’ve spent the last year solo renovating, stripping away a 1970s time warp to revive its original soul. Now, I’m thrilled to share my home and its historic vibe with you. From local Exmoor tips to hidden Porlock Weir gems, I can’t wait to welcome you to the project I call home Victorian soul meets modern luxury in this lovingly restored retreat. Enjoy Hampton and Astley linens, a fully stocked fridge and my signature "fresh water" bedroom taps for the perfect morning cuppa. Relax with afternoon tea in the conservatory, a private massage, or a stroll through our acre of gardens. From locally sourced breakfasts to dinner bookings with our own taxi service, I provide quiet, seamless support to ensure your Exmoor stay I am here to ensure your stay is perfectly tailored to you from start to finish Before you arrive, feel free to reach out via the phone or email provided in your booking. Once you’ve settled in, I am usually on site to provide background support and local tips with a smile
