Another great stay in the very well equipped and finely situated St Anthony’s. Secure garden much appreciated by our Golden Retriever - good outside taps and sink for cleaning boots and dogs when weather not so good. New terrace gives a good outdoor space with lovely views of the garden. Panoramic view of Porlock Bay from upstairs enabled us to watch the local oyster company harvesting and maintaining the oyster trestles ( they taste good as well ). Already booked for 2020.

Beautiful property lovingly maintained and dressed to a high standard. Everything thought of for your stay. The wood burner adds to the comfort with amazing forever changing views out of the lounge. I’m sure the decking will be fabulous bonus in the summer although we still enjoyed during our visit.

Brilliant, just brilliant. The cottage, the interior, the position and the view unbeatable. However because it’s an upside down house you use the stairs more so perhaps it may cause a minor problem to the infirm. We wanted to book again for next year but bookings aren’t open yet.
