Porlock is a wonderful working Exmoor village and boasts three pubs, two grocery shops, a traditional local butcher, chemist, cash machine, petrol station, hardware shop, visitor centre, several art galleries and a range of independent restaurants, shops and tea rooms. We have always enjoyed the ambiance of The Ship Inn, who serve food throughout most of the day and it's around a 5-minute walk away. Fish and Chips or a pie from "Piggy in the Middle" are always a winner! If you fancy travelling further afield you have the benefits of Minehead which has a number of supermarkets and plenty of pubs and restaurants.

The parish church is dedicated to St Dubricius and dates back to the 13th Century. The medieval manorial dower house contains a museum of local history. A short walk away are playing fields and a park in Porlock village. Porlock Hill is notorious for its steepness but it can be by-passed if you use the toll road which boasts beautiful views. Porlock Weir is nearby and is a picturesque hamlet. Once a busy port, it is now a peaceful harbour for yachts and fishing boats. Here is also a good starting point for walks to Porlock Marsh and Culbone - home to England's smallest church. The Coleridge Way, a 36 mile walking route, ends in Porlock. Porlock is also home to the roaster of famous tea and coffee producer DJ Miles, whose coffees are roasted daily in Porlock, their roastery shop can be visited. Other great places to visit include Lynton and Lynmouth - connected by a cliff railway; Watermouth Castle; Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park; Steam railway starting in Minehead; Greencombe Gardens and Marwood Hill Gardens to name a few. Bossington boasts lovely walks and a tea room at Selworthy do a fabulous cream tea.

Just a 20 minute walk away you have the shingle beach at Porlock. Which is accessed by a board-walk over the salt-water marshes. Porlock Weir is nearby and is a good starting point for walks to Porlock Marsh and Culbone - home to England's smallest church. Lovely beaches include Combe Martin (great for rock-pooling), Ilfracombe and Woolacombe. The Coleridge Way, a 36 mile walking route, ends in Porlock. Walks up on to Exmoor can also be accessed from the house. There are pleasant circular walks from the house, that go up the hill and through the village.

Piera

Question: Are the doors on the ground floor wide enough to allow a wheelchair to pass and are there many steps into the Lodge

Answer-1: Thanks for your message, there are steps up to the front door (about 6 or 7) with handrail. There is also a level entrance around the side and back of the house to an external door which leads into the utility room, there are no steps this way, just the threshold of the door (approx 3 inches). I'm not sure if this would be suitable for wheelchair access? Regarding the width of the doors, we weren't sure about this so have checked with the owner. They have replied to us to say that they doesn't know the width unfortunately and wouldn't be confident enough to say if they are or are not wide enough.

Answer-1: It is possible to park directly outside Redway Lodge, there are some steps up to the front door (about 6 or 7) with handrail.

Natalie

Helen

Question: I'm looking for a place to bring my family including my mother who is very fit, mobile and independent at 80 years of age. She would like to be able to walk into the village so could you advise whether the property is closer to the bottom of Porlock Hill as coming back up a long hill might be too much for her and if there is a safe pedestrian route into the shops?

Answer-1: Redway Lodge is less than 5 mins on foot away from the middle of the village. It is uphill from the village back to the property, but not very steep. There is pavement some of the way, and some of the way it's walking on the side of the road that it is marked with a while line to allow for pedestrians.
