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!!

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.

Great location, Big roomy house slept all of the family comfortably! Nice enclosed garden

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.

great location lovely place to stay , a real sun trap terrace , Porlock is a great base for seeing the wonderful sights Somerset has to offer

Big house, with comfortable beds, pristine bedding, lovely bathrooms.

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

Beautiful coastline and wonderful walks on the moor.
