A really lovely cottage with amazing views across Porlock Bay. Cosy downstairs area with fireplace and a clean and well equipped kitchenette. Upstairs a big comfy bed with the best views to wake up to! Good bathroom too. Location is very peaceful and quiet.

Very cosy accommodation and well situated for coastal, moorland and woodland walks, as well as visiting delightful villages and towns. It's great to see an old building renovated to a well-ordered holiday home, perfect for a couple. Great place to relax. A lovely find. We took the advice of another reviewer and took folding chairs with us to sit and admire the view from the bedroom. In the summer, it must be lovely to sit with the folding doors open just watching the sea and the beach.

What could have been a perfect holiday was ruined by car parking and an unusable oven. If you have a large car don’t go there. Views from bedroom wonderful. Proximity to Porlock Weir great for pub, hotel and artisan shops.

Wow. What a find! We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be returning to the Stables. I really enjoyed drinking my morning tea in bed watching the sea out the bedroom balcony doors! It was incredibly relaxing. The pub, cafe and beach are just a short walk down the hill (and all great). The coastal path runs along the beach at the bottom of the hill too and we walked in both directions which were really different to each other. We loved it! A lovely autumn coastal break and the Stables was perfect. We've already been recommending this place to friends and we will be coming back!

The view from the bedroom window over the sea is superb. You can see right across the water to Wales if the weather is clear. The gardens are lovely. The bed is very comfortable and coupled with the views, which can be seen from the bed makes it a lovely experience. The downside is that the vehicular access to the property is 'challenging' to say the least. The lane outside is very narrow and the gates are also narrow. I struggled to get my VW Golf in without hitting something and I know the other guests in the other property (who also had a Golf) had the same issue, so it's not just me. I don't know whether you would be able to get a bigger car in.

Very disappointing, lovely venue, but not comfortable, the sofa was uncomfortable your bottom disappeared into a hole and immediately hurt your back, could not use, had to sit on dining chairs all week which were so hard and very wobbly, need urgent attention, the duvet was so short on the bed, had to go 3ft down the bed to just get covered, mattress was not comfortable, the net curtains in the bedroom were yellow from staining. The heating could not be overridden so we we were really cold all week, only enough logs for one evening, the shower slider was very loose and the bath was taped because it had a crack the TV in the bed was useless, could not change the volume or channel no matter what you did, all very dated. overall its not about customers comfort. We came home early as we could not stand it a minute longer.

Opening the curtains to reveal the panorama across the sea towards Wales was amazing, a pity we couldn't take advantage and open the doors of the juliet balcony....too cold! Lovely to cosy down in the evenings with the wood burner blazing. Glorious walks on Exmoor. A little investigation revealed all information required and yes, the oven is a little difficult initially. A steel is provided for sharpening knives. Otherwise all mod cons.

Oh the peace and the view from our bed. We awoke each day to birdsong. The view was perfect and at this time of year framed by beautiful magnolias. Great to be able to walk to the pub for supper and to stroll off to coastal walks during the day.
