Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property is spacious. The kitchen is excellently well equipped and there is plenty of comfortable seating for all, There are lovely views of the sea from all the windows. Beware of the differing levels upstairs. The en-suite shower is a tight fit but the bathroom has plenty of space. The heating is very good and efficient. And the nearest pub is only 5 mins walk away. It is excellent but there is a need to book for a meal.
Stayed 10 nights in May 2025

Such a lovely cottage, perfect location a few minutes stroll from the harbour, beach and pub. We did a lovely walk out from the cottage, along the coast then up into the wooded hills behind the village. Would definitely stay in this cottage again.

Could not fault the fantastic location with stunning views And so many walks around the area. House was spotless on arrival. Porlock Weir is fairly quiet but has a good choice of places to eat including a busy pub, hotel, take away and even oysters which are caught fresh daily . Overall a great stay .

We were very pleased to be returning for another stay in this charming well-equipped cottage. The sea views and the setting are as lovely as ever and we had wonderful walks both from the door and from a short car ride away. The area has pleasant pubs and many nice places for tea with delicious cakes.

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Crow's Nest much helped by glorious weather and stunning views. It was very special to be able to walk into woodland within 50 metres of the drive. We would love to return again.
