Plum Tree Cottage, located on Minehead Road in the picturesque village of Porlock, Somerset, is a beautifully refurbished holiday cottage that accommodates up to six guests. This charming property, which is pet-friendly and well-suited for families or couples, combines modern conveniences with a cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation or exploration. The cottage's history is evident, as it was once part of an old coach house and stables, with a stone mounting block in the garden serving as a nod to its past.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by a footpath leading through the garden to the private parking area, which can accommodate up to three cars. The entrance opens into a spacious porch and bootroom, leading to a hallway where a large sitting room awaits, offering ample seating for six and a collection of games and puzzles. To the left, the modern kitchen-dining room is equipped with new appliances and features French doors that open onto a patio, perfect for outdoor dining. The cottage includes one double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom on the ground floor, while two additional bedrooms—one double and one twin—are located upstairs, each with en-suite shower rooms.
Plum Tree Cottage is designed for comfort and convenience, featuring an additional downstairs toilet, a private and enclosed garden, and all necessary amenities including towels, linen, WiFi, heating, and electricity. Dogs are welcome with prior arrangement, subject to a supplementary fee, and guests are encouraged to keep their pets off the furniture and upstairs. The cottage operates a strict non-smoking policy, ensuring a clean environment for all visitors.
Situated less than half a mile from the village of Porlock, guests have easy access to local amenities, including pubs, grocery stores, and restaurants. The nearby harbour at Porlock Weir offers additional dining options and unique shops. For those seeking larger supermarkets and banking services, Minehead is only six miles away.
