Porlock Weir is approximately 1.5 miles from Porlock and is well worth a visit.

All 4 of us agreed it was one of the best places Just spent a fantastic week at this lovely house. All 4 of us agreed it was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The house has everything you need and is in the most beautiful spot. The views are stunning and the walk to Porlock village every day with our dogs was so pretty. Porlock itself is one of the best places we have ever stayed. Very pretty and with some great pubs and tea rooms. Can particularly recommend Piggy in the Middle. Best fish and chips ever and a huge range of home made pies. We ate in there twice and can highly recommend. The whole area is so dog friendly that we didn’t find one place the whole week that we couldn’t take the dogs. Dunster village and castle are very close and really worth a visit. Porlock Weir is 5 min drive away - a very pretty harbour and the pizza garden has wood fired pizzas with views over the harbour. This place was one of our highlights of the week. Minehead is good for day by sea with amusements etc and well worth walking past the steam trains and into the town itself. Only drawback of the holiday was that Minehead does not allow dogs on the beach and all the beaches in Somerset and pebble beaches and not sand. Lynton and Lynmouth in Devon is only 25 mins away and is a stunning place to visit. We got the lift up to the top and it was really worth visiting. Another half an hour would take you to Woolacombe/Ilfracome with sandy beaches that allow dogs. Definitely a fantastic place for a holiday. We can’t wait to go back and highly recommend High Bank house and Porlock for a great holiday.
