Sun at front and rear... always a spot to catch it. A very short walk to the pub, the cafe, a little Asian takeaway (fabulous), the hotel for a special meal or afternoon tea, or a woodfired pizza outside, and a couple of delightful art galleries. The cottage is a delight. It has a wonderful atmosphere. So cosy and comfy and the fireplace with woodburner is heaven. Comfy beds. We had a really magical week. ##### Caroline V.

I have never seen such a fireplace! Bedding and towels are of a high standard. We loved sitting outside watching the goings on at the harbour. I have to say David was so nice and helpful. Nothing was too much for him. Also the girls in the office were so helpful as I inundated them with calls for when the cottage was available! I can definitely recommend Western Cottage to anyone.

Beds were extremely comfortable and we had even been left washing tablets for the washer. We are a family of 2 teens and they also loved every minute of this unique stay. If there is a downside it’s to remember that with no real or reliable phone signal here the Wi-Fi in the cottage is poor and glitched constantly. Not a necessity by any means but we couldn’t reliably make or take calls which on occasion we needed to do. ##### Andrew H.

Given the age of this stunning property We had an incredible stay. Everything was just fabulous. Given the age of this stunning property and its location we can tell you we were warm, cosy and well rested as it really is a quiet spot. The cottage was really well equipped, I like to cook and it had all we needed. We also had family join us for two nights and they were just as taken with all Western Cottage offered. You can not beat the location for its unique and quirky spot and for all the beautiful surroundings. We parked up, walked everywhere to all we needed and just one trip to Porlock itself for some supplies from other local grocers. Andrea, who we met on leaving was a delight and so kind and friendly. We will be booking again and already are looking forward to it. You took two and half years to happen to come round due to Covid closing the world to us, and you did not disappoint. Thank you ##### Quintin R.
