Property Summary Vine Cottage, Porlock, is a charming self-contained thatched stone annexe sleeping up to 3, tucked into a cobbled yard on the heart of the pretty village of Porlock. Dogs are welcome, private parking on the doorstep, and the village is a short stroll away - a lovely base for exploring Exmoor.
