Delightful property in superb quiet, attractive location - footpaths in all directions from the door and just a short distance to Porlock for good food shops, arts and crafts, pubs and cafes. But just to note that the warning about the steep steps to access the house are spot on!

Cosy and well appointed property. Simplicity of decor but with thoughtful 'pops' of colour in furnishings appreciated. Steep steps up to property and in garden may be difficult for some but we were fine. Welcome pack of biscuits and wine hit the spot!

Loved the cottage and it's location. It's very well equipped and comfortable. Parking is just round the corner in a quiet lane. The only concern are the very steep steps up to the property. It's a lovely walk down the lane to Porlock village. Everyone says hello and more often than not engages in conversation. I would definitely recommend SunnysideRead more and look forward to a return visit. Hide
