- "My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay in David and Nicky's cottage. Lots of love has gone into this place, it's obvious either they've stayed in it themselves or they've listened very closely to feedback. David and Nicky were super nice and made sure we had what we needed. Very clean, incredibly well equipped kitchen, lots of heating options including central, floor in the bathroom and wood burner in the sitting room. Comfy bed with awesome view towards the sea. Well positioned near Porlock which is a nice village (we much preferred to the larger seaside towns) and lots of awesome walks nearby - all the ones in the booklet were great. The nearby area has lots of woodland which we preferred for walking to the other areas of Exmoor (which are still beautiful). Lastly if you don't have a dog (we don't) and aren't dog people (I'm not) then don't worry, there's absolutely no doggie smells and no barking nearby! In fact it's super quiet and we slept with the window open. Highly recommended!"

- "I had a most enjoyable stay at The Coach House over Christmas . Clean and well-maintained with lovely stunning sea views; I found it cosy, relaxing and well-equipped. It was just a short stroll to the pretty harbour where there are a couple of shops, a hotel open to non-residents, a pub and restaurant. A bus takes in Porlock Village and Minehead. I enjoyed glorious walks along the coast, through woodlands and across the fabulous moorland of Exmoor (easy to find the ponies but deer-spotting needs an eagle eye). I most definitely recommend this property which had the further benefit of being able to park securely right outside the front door."

The stairs lead from the dining area to the first floor where there is a third double bedroom (King-size bed) with panoramic hill and sea views and an en-suite bathroom, comprising bath, toilet and hand basin.
All three of the bedrooms have a hanging rail which can accommodate at least a dozen hangers each and all bedrooms have good-sized chests of drawers.

Outdoor Description
The large decked patio directly outside the front door runs the entire length of the property, it is enclosed by balustrading and enjoys superb sweeping views across the fields and marshes to the coastline between Hurlstone point and Porlock Weir. There is ample space for sitting to enjoy a book, plus there is a large table with 6 chairs for dining al fresco too.
A gated set of steps lead up the side of the cottage to the rear garden, which climbs to the furthest point of the lawned (steep) garden to the rear, to make the most of the fantastic views over the roof-tops, again towards the coastline. A bench and seating area has been created so you can unwind in this private area.
The external door from the kitchen opens onto a covered area at the rear of the cottage which is idea for storing boots, etc. Off this covered area there is a warm utility/boiler room to the which is perfect for hanging wet coats. Also in here is the washing machine and a Belfast sink with shower attachment (perfect for washing off small muddy dogs). Outside tap also available.
The property is approached from the lane and private car parking area opposite, up a set of garden/paved steps. There is a pedestrian gate at the bottom. From West Wind, it's a short walk into the village.
Please note: Children are welcome at West Wind, but please be aware that the rear garden is very steep and there are several flights of steps leading to the top decking area. Gates are in place, but we recommend that all young children must be supervised at all times.
Parking
A private parking bay for up to two cars is beside/below the cottage. The lane to the cottage is a private road only shared with a handful of other properties just beyond West Wind, but it's a no-through road, so it's usually very quiet in terms of traffic.
You can park one other vehicle further up the lane keeping close to the hedge above the verge. Please be aware this is shared with neighbours and not to block anyone in. Also, you can park by the village hall which is opposite the Top Ship inn, I think you may need to get a permit, there is a sign in the car park.
Pets Description
Dogs are welcome (max 2) upon payment of supplement of £15 per dog. Please do not allow your dogs on the furniture or upstairs or leave them unattended.
Restricted mobility
Although there are bedrooms on the ground floor, we suggest this property is not suitable for anyone with limited mobility due to the steps required to access the cottage from the parking area.
