The region
+ MoreHarbour House Apartment is situated in the middle of Porlock Weir on the stunning Exmoor National Park coast. Exmoor National Park countryside and beach walks are close by and we are just off the South West Coast Path and an hour's walk to Culbone Church and Hurlstone Point.... Harbour House Coffee Shop is proud to be a South West Coast Path Stamping Point, we stamp walkers SWCP Passports and sell them to the many walkers who pass through and stop off for a rest and refreshment. The dog-friendly Bottom Ship Pub and the Porlock Weir Hotel, a glass shop and small art galleries are close by. Our own Harbour House Coffee Shop is on the ground floor, try our great coffee and tea from local company D J Miles, breakfast, brunch light bites, cakes and our scrumptious Cream Tea, freshly baked scones with Rhoda Clotted Cream and Strawerry jam! Exmoor Adventures offer many exciting activities on our doorstep whether its into the stunning Exmoor countryside or a sea activity here in Porlock Bay. Porlock Weir Charters run fishing and sightseeing/pleasure trips in the Spring and Summer months. It really is a fantastic place to bring the whole family. The village of Porlock is approximately 1.5 miles from Harbour House and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, pharmacy, Post Office, cash machine, garage, hardware shop, Porlock Visitor Centre and a range of independent shops and eateries. The shops in Porlock Weir and Porlock are usually open during traditional hours of 9 am to 5 pm, although hours are often extended during the summer season. Conversely, some shops may reduce their opening hours at weekends or out of season. Minehead is the nearest town, approximately 7 miles from Harbour House. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Lidl, Tesco and Morrisons are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have longer opening hours), most major high street banks with cash machines, plus a range of other shops throughout the town.
We recommend eating at The Porlock Weir Hotel, food and service very good, afternoon teas, Sunday lunch is amazing, they also have an outside bar and pizzeria and its generally a lovely place to visit. We also recommend eating at The (bottom or top) Ship Pub which is often lively and has outside seating. We've never been disappointed with Ziangs Thai Takeaway (seasonal). Delicious ice-creams from Harbour Stores are only next door. Porlock Village is only 1.5 miles away and has pubs, hotels, restaurants, cafes and tearooms.
Harbour watch from your own balcony or the many viewpoints outside, walk over the bridge to explore Turkey Island with the stunning cottages or set up on the pebble beach for a paddle, picnic or swim. If you're active or have children you won't run out of fun things to do, walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, beachcombing, crabbing (buckets and lines for sale at Harbour Stores next door) and sightseeing. Check out Exmoor Adventures for local activities and seasonal opening hours. The South West Coast Path is close by as are many other great walks, Hurlstone Point which can be seen in the distance is a favourite walk around the bay with guests.
Explore and enjoy the stunning pebble beach on our doorstep and walk over to Turkey Island to view the cottages and bunker. Swim, kayak, paddleboard in good weather. Hikers and walkers can explore the many coastal and inland walks available on this beautiful Exmoor coast. The South West Coast Path is close by and makes Porlock Weir a good overnight stopping off point.
