West Wind, an attractive holiday accommodation located in Porlock, Somerset, offers a serene retreat on the edge of the village, nestled on a private no-through road. This delightful property boasts stunning views over surrounding farmland, marshes, and the coastline, making it an ideal getaway for nature lovers. Originally built in the 1930s as a chalet bungalow, West Wind has undergone a comprehensive refurbishment, providing modern amenities while retaining its quaint character. With the capacity to accommodate up to six guests, it features three well-appointed bedrooms, ensuring a comfortable stay for families or groups.
The accommodation is thoughtfully designed across two levels, with a spacious first-floor double bedroom featuring a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. On the ground floor, guests will find two additional bedrooms: one twin and another that can be configured as either a twin or a super-king-size double bed, depending on preference. The inviting lounge, complete with an electric 'wood-burner', offers a cozy atmosphere, while the adjoining dining room and fully equipped kitchen provide a convenient space for meal preparation and enjoyment. A ground floor shower room, featuring a spacious walk-in shower, adds to the comfort and accessibility of the property.
Outside, West Wind features a large decked patio area, furnished with a sizable table, chairs, and a parasol, perfect for al fresco dining while taking in the breathtaking views of the marshes and Porlock coastline. The property is conveniently located within walking distance to the village, where guests can explore local restaurants, shops, and tea rooms. Amenities such as Wi-Fi, heating, and electricity are included, along with towels and bed linen, ensuring a hassle-free stay. The property is pet-friendly, allowing up to two dogs for a small additional fee, although guests are requested to supervise their pets and keep them off furniture and upstairs areas.
While West Wind welcomes children, it is important to note that the property may not be suitable for individuals with limited mobility due to the steps leading from the parking area. The rear garden, while enclosed, features a steep incline and numerous steps, necessitating supervision for young children. For those looking to explore the area, attractions such as the South West Coast Path Section 1 Trailhead, Porlock Weir Harbour, Exmoor Adventures, and Greencombe Gardens are nearby, providing ample opportunities for outdoor activities and sightseeing. The Exmoor Owl & Hawk Centre and Blenheim Gardens are also recommended for visitors seeking additional local experiences.
