The Coach House at Porlock Weir is a charming retreat for two, comprising a light and airy double bedroom with a king-sized bed and adjoining bathroom with shower over bath upstairs. Downstairs offers an open-plan living and dining room with a stone flagged floor, plus a spacious kitchen with wonderful views across Porlock Bay to the Bristol Channel from the kitchen sink. The kitchen is well equipped with dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, counter-top freezer, microwave, electric oven, ceramic hob, toaster and kettle, along with a good range of utensils, cutlery, crockery and glasses. The living room has a television with Netflix and a CD player, and wireless broadband is available throughout. Underfloor heating with thermostat control keeps things cosy, and electricity and heating costs are included. Bed linen and towels are provided. Outside, a private decking area invites you to relax and take in the scenery and sounds of the sea. The Coach House shares an enclosed garden, with a small lawn and terrace patio areas, with the adjoining Stable Block property (which also sleeps two), making it secure for dogs. Secure off-road parking for one car is available directly outside in a courtyard shared between the two properties. The property sleeps two, with a travel cot available on request for babies (bedding not supplied, and no high chair available). It is not considered suitable for children or for guests with restricted mobility, and there is no wheelchair access. Dogs are welcome by prior arrangement, up to two or three smaller dogs, with a supplement of GBP 15 per dog; dogs should be kept off the furniture and out of the upstairs area, and cats cannot be accommodated. The Coach House is strictly non-smoking. During the festive period, some decorations are added to the living area. Arrival is from 2pm and departure by 10am.

Porlock Weir is a picturesque harbour village on the Exmoor National Park coastline in Somerset, with a history stretching back to the 15th century. The small tidal harbour, with its ancient lock gates and pebble beach, sits at the heart of a thriving community. You'll find a welcoming pub, restaurants ranging from relaxed dining to Michelin-listed Italian cuisine, cosy cafes, and a popular street food takeaway -- all within walking distance of the harbour. Independent shops and galleries line the lanes, including Exmoor Glass, the Harbour Gallery, and Porlock Bay Oysters, which opened expanded premises in 2024. The larger village of Porlock is approximately one mile away and has a broader range of amenities including grocery shops, a traditional butcher, chemist, cash machine, hardware shop, visitor centre, and a selection of independent restaurants and tea rooms. Most shops in Porlock and Porlock Weir keep hours of 9am to 5pm, often extending during the summer season. Porlock Weir was recently used as a filming location for The Salt Path, the adaptation of Raynor Winn's bestselling memoir about walking the South West Coast Path.
