The views from the cottage are stunning. Great area for walking the dog too. Dog friendly pubs and a fenced off dog exercise field near the Bowling Green. I would bring a torch in the winter as the street lighting is only just sufficient.

The most beautiful area with walking straight from the front door. Great to hang the car keys up for a few days! I would highly recommend, Porlock is a great village with all the amenities you need. It’s a lovely 10 minute stroll to the main high street down a picturesque lane. The local people are very friendly and always happy to stop for a chat.

When the weather is bad a real fire makes it so much more cosy. We left our surplus logs for the next visitors to enjoy. Despite this being our second stay in six months we still found plenty to do around Porlock, the great treats were the West Somerset Railway and Cleeve Abbey.

The road up to the cottage is narrow and winding, so needed to stay sober to drive there, and difficult to find somewhere to turn round. However there was very little traffic going by which made it easier with an escape-prone dog in the party and the parking was adequate for two cars. The cottage is cosy and welcoming, had everything we needed, including a good library. Hoping to go back next year for a spring break, as Porlock is delightful and lots of places still to go and explore.

Absolutely perfect location for us as keen walkers with a dog - so much right from the doorstep! We parked in front and didn't move the car for the whole stay as the well-stocked shops were just a short walk away. As others have said, there's everything you need for a homely stay (including making a full Christmas dinner) and the cottage was bigger than we expected too so we felt right at home straight away. The log fire made for a very cosy evening to relax after our walks over the moor and through hidden valleys. We loved it so much we wanted to book back in for a couple of week's time but Covid rules prevented that so we'll come back again in the summer to explore the moors when it's a bit drier. :)

We have had an amazing stay at robins brook cottage. The location of the cottage is lovely and ideal for walks through the woods and onto the moors or just exploring exmoor by car. Its only a short walk into the village to the 2 local shops for supplies or the pubs if you prefer. The cottage has everything you need for the perfect break away a fully functional kitchen and a washing machine tucked away in a small utility. The living room and dining room have open fires which create a warm cosy atmosphere. The two bedrooms are spacious with a double bed in one and 2 singles in the other. The bathroom is great with a bath and a shower. Owning a dog it was nice to find a cottagec that allowed him to come along and enjoy the walking on exmoor with us. We will be booking again. See you soon.

The cottage is in an absolute fab location - about a mile from Porlock, so lovely and quiet, and on the track up to Hawkcombe Head. The garden across the road with the brook running through is very special. Sadly we didn't get to use it that much due to the weather but managed a glass of wine one night as the sun was setting. The rooms are nice and big, we really enjoyed having the two separate living room / dining room areas. One was used for cosy TV watching and the other for dumping our backpacks after a long hike. The kitchen is one of the most well-stocked self catering kitchens we've even stayed in - it even had a pudding bowl! One of the neighbours down the road is also selling allotment veg for 50p! We would really recommend.

Positives: Lovely location in Hawcombe, just up the road from Porlock village. Garden is lovely although it would be nice if the swing had a seat... Good wifi Negatives: Property is small, but just about coped with two adults and a 13 and 9 year old. Kitchen very dated and not the easiest to use (we had to screw the handles back onto the pans for example), fridge door shelf hanging on with duct tape but won't support a bottle of milk etc Living chairs are from way back when and not in the slightest bit comfortable, meaning you'll probably spend you time lying on your bed instead. Whilst there is parking, it's on a narrow single road so turning your car is difficult (we were kindly offered the use of a neighbour's drive about 500m up the road to reverse in to). Overall - you get what you pay for. It's cheap, so on balance worth it/good value for money. Whilst I certainly wouldn't avoid it, I wouldn't rush back again to book it - it's fine, better for a couple. If it was updated it would make for a lovely cottage.

Staines allover lounge rug and a sulpher smell near the ire place. The Patio yard was full of muck and cob wens not an easy place to relax in. The garden opposit was kept nice but the table and bench are rotting and sub into the ground when I sat on it. The cooker and oven utensils were fithy as was the fridge. A nice new kitchen let down by this. We just couldnt bring ourselves to usr it after the first night. A bit of coffee left ftlrom previos renter. NO TEA BAGS no condiments . A bottle of wine no use after a 9 hr travel to get there iwe just wanted a mice cup of tea. Had to search for instructions rang owners for this. Theyre shoved in a brown paper bag in adrawer. Takes ages to find the instrctions you need. Theyve just shobex everything in there. Carry the heavy idustrial hoover Henry u the stairs was hard work using it on their floors and rugs was hard too. This is a very nlobed cash cow for the owners whos only interest is profit. Smelt damp and musty. Shoeers not very hot and o real powrr to it either. Theres moldon bath sealant too. No anti slip mat either. Was very dissapointd with this cottage. Could sit relax and read.
