Many aspects of Holmdale were excellent and we have enjoyed a fabulous long weekend. The kitchen/dining area was warm and large, and there were plenty of great bathrooms. The location was good, as was the space for parking for our large group.

The house is well appointed and spacious. All three showers were particularly good. The location is great, close to all the village amenities and with a lot of stunning scenery just a short drive away. The local butchers and cheese shop were very good though the other food outlets were distinctly average.

The location of Holmdale in Porlock Village is brilliant. The house is spacious and has 5 bedrooms. Although 2 are children's rooms they would support adults. With 3 bathrooms it was certainly a bonus. The village while small is very lovely with a good choice of places to eat and drink. Nice walks on your door steps, but a few hills as well. Well placed for many of Somersets attractions we had a lovely week staying in Holmdale

Holmdale is in an ideal position, it's spacious and very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed for our weekend. The garden is bigger than the photos suggest and the trampoline was a big hit. All the bedrooms and the family bathroom were a good size, it may be wise to bring some soap, washing up liquid and toilet paper. The box of cheeses , biscuits and chutney was a surprise, as was the beverages. Thank you.

Our stay was spoiled by the noise of the heavy traffic immediately outside the house, and by double decker buses passing which blocked out the light in the rooms as they passed by or were stuck in the traffic.

Lovely house in a lovely location

2 families with 5 kids in total plus dog and 4 adults. House was ideal. On a main road but only used the back door which opened onto the garden so completely safe for kids and dog. Walks were amazing and town was delightful. Heating was on low when we arrived but warmed up quickly and there was coal for us to light the fire. Rooms were great for our needs and bathrooms at either end of the property meant a good spread for access. Amazing welcome package with loads of useful things. Confirmation went into my trash but when I rang it was resent straight away. The owner was also very helpful. Great time had by all!!

Lovely house, very well equipped. The amount of toys, books and DVDs for the kids was a very nice surprise! Really good location for amazing walks. We had some yummy cheeses, orange juice and breakfast goodies waiting for us which was a very nice touch. It's a very quiet area, the playground is a hidden gem - usually it was just us there - and there are plenty of nice walks around from beach to villages to climbing hills. Take your walking shoes as they will make some of the walks a lot easier! I would suggest you take some washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets and toilet paper with you as there's not enough left at the house and almost every shop is closed on Sundays.

Holmdale is a beautiful large cottage at one end of a wonderful village. It was clean and tidy when we arrived and didn't take much to keep it so. We really appreciated that there was a washing machine and dryer available and a massive kitchen and dining room with AGA. The house was very roomy, even for 9 of us. There was also a hoover available and all bedding. The house is positioned at the bottom of Porlock hill, so cars can drive past dangerously quickly, which is a problem especially if there are small children in the party. There is a great pub next door and plenty to do, including walks over the coastal walk and salt marsh. All in all, this was a great, value for money option in a wonderful area of the country and I thoroughly recommend a stay.

This is a fabulous house in an amazing location! It’s next door to The Ship at the bottom of Porlock Hill, and 2 doors in the other direction is the amazing Whortleberry Tea Rooms. And there’s a small Spa a few yards down on the opposite side of the road. The house has 5 great bedrooms, with incredibly comfortable beds, 3 lovely shower rooms (2 upstairs, 1 downstairs), one of which has a beautiful bath. Downstairs there’s a very comfy lounge, play/TV room, dining room, kitchen and laundry room. It really is huge, and it retains much of its original character. The patio area is lovely and a real sun trap with lots of outdoor furniture. The lawns have been left wild for the birds and bees so the garden isn’t really useable but the patio is big enough. We had a brilliant week staying here in June and would definitely go back.

Fabulous week at Holmdale

We have just had a weeks stay at Holmdale and we loved it. There were 7 of us and two dogs, the house is really spacious so we had plenty of room. Having three bathrooms really helped when all trying to get ready to go out. We spent most of our time in the kitchen/diner which was great or in the living room and it was quite refreshing to not have the tv in that room. The garden area was great for the dogs and having the side room to contain them when coming in with wet paws. The only negatives are, there was only one wardrobe out of the 5 bedrooms, a couple of the rooms mattresses were not very comfortable and the lack of mirrors for getting ready. However the good most definitely outweighs the negatives and would definitely book again. Thanks for a great stay!

Rather mixed.

On arrival the house was stone cold, no heating or hot water, no logs or sticks for the fire.I rang the number as advised on booking info and answered by mother of owner(who lives abroad) that she knew nothing about the house and would ring her daughter. Daughter rang me - seems there was no oil in the oil tank for the heating, Bearing in mind it was a freezing cold day and we had 2 babies arriving soon.. Emergency delivery of oil was forthcoming. Eventually some of the rooms heated up - after > 24 hours, some rooms never warmed. The boiler in the dining room kitchen makes the most awful noise so that the room is rendered unuseable while it is running. I did let the owner know this. There were 3 accidents of people falling in the hall due to the light not working. We eventually bought a bulb and replaced the broken one. The microwave was dirty -something orange and sticky silt in it. There were no cleaning products and just enough toilet paper for 9 people for one day. There was no hand soap in the bathrooms. Seems there should have been a 'Welcome pack' on our arrival....this was hastily rearranged by the owner. The location is quite good, tho it is a very busy and quite dangerous corner for traffic. Porlock is lovely. Beautiful walks and great pubs. We hope to return to the area but not to this house. I cannot honestly reccomend it at present. The owner did try to correct things but there really needs to be someone close by. The boiler needs urgent replacing.
