Harbour House Apartment Porlock Weir

The views from the apartment were outstanding. Bedroom and living room really comfortable.

Kitchen was very small, however it had everything needed. It took us a while to figure out how to switch the electric shower on, could do with some instructions.

Harbour House ist ein charmantes Gebäude. Wir haben uns wahnsinnig wohl gefühlt. Die Lage direkt am Hafen ist fantastisch. Colin und seine Gattin sind wahnsinnig hilfsbereit und waren immer erreichbar.

We loved the situation. We loved it was dog friendly and a very comfortable place to stay

Sadly on arrival it was very cold but this was an oversight as when we rang the contact person they apologised and assisted us in putting it all on. So eventually it warmed up.

Excellent location , stunning views, friendly and helpful hosts. All linen fresh and clean, comfortable, cozy stay.

Decor slightly tired and would benefit from a refresh. Crockery and utensils need an update.

Having recently stayed at Harbour House Apartments in the uniquely beautiful setting of Porlock Weir, I can confidently say this accommodation stands out as a truly exceptional seaside retreat. From the flawless accommodation to the dedicated service, this experience exceeded expectations in every category. The accommodation itself is maintained to an extraordinarily high standard. The apartment was exceptionally clean, far surpassing typical self-catering property standards. Everything felt fresh, well-maintained, and prepared with precision for our arrival. Furthermore, the owners have gone above and beyond to ensure maximum guest convenience. All amenities are supplied, meaning guests truly lack for nothing. This thoughtful provision extended to high-quality furnishings and necessary day-to-day items, ensuring our stay was comfortable and completely stress-free from start to finish. It is clear that significant attention has been paid to the quality and functionality of the space. I shall definitely return sometime in the future.

We've stayed in Porlock before, but this was the first time staying in the Weir. Harbour house is a gem! We felt right at home straight away. The views are superb, and a lovely balcony to sit and watch the world go by is a bonus. I didn't even mind doing the washing up with the view offered from the kitchen window. Everything you need is there, plenty of space, a comfortable bed, a comfy lounge, and a hot shower in the bathroom. What more do you want ? The coastal path is right on the doorstep, a walk into Porlock along the shore path took us an hour, really enjoyable. The Ship Inn does a good choice of ales and the food was very good, so was the pizzas from the Hotel next door. The cafe below the accommodation is also very good. All in all its a lovely place set in an idyllic setting. We're already looking for when we can book again !

Everything was great . The location perfect

The shower was a little hard to get in and out of

Very good location right at the harbour, also just across the street from two good eating places. We especially liked the pub, the Bottom Ship and ate there several times. The double bed was very comfortable. The sitting room is a comfortable place. The large tidal range means the immediate view from inside the sitting room is mainly the street and the top, muddy end of the harbour, but it looks dramatic on a high spring tide, when the sea comes well up the retaining wall. The kitchen is a galley type, so best for one person working there, has a nice view of the cottages on the shingle bar and the inner harbour, and it is very well equipped indeed. It was a good base for exploring the north Somerset/Devon coast and Exmoor. Games and books were provided, including a jigsaw for a wet day. The dining table with views to the shore was good for jigsaw. We liked having footpaths accessible from the house, with no need for a car. There is a bus service, stops outside the pub, albeit limited times.

The shower is electric, over the bath and with the screen and with the coomb ceiling it was a little awkward getting in and out, which might be an issue if you are very tall, or have relatively short legs.. We only take showers, so didn't want to use the bath, but if that's your thing, the plumbing wasn't set up for a bath. The shingle beach is an interesting feature (and a Site of Special Scientific Interest for it's geology and shingle flora) but it's not a good surface for walking, even in boots.

Quirky, self contained. Exceptional views

Above the cafe so some noise during the day. Not enough to spoil my stay though

Location was exceptional and sitting on the balcony with that view was fabulous. Clean, comfortable accommodation with well equipped kitchen.

We were not supplied with body wash / soap nor shampoo and nowhere in Porlock Weir to buy them in the morning. Also some washing powder / pods for washing machine would have been appreciated. These should be all be supplied as essentials. Very limited height in shower for hubby who is over 6 foot tall.
