    “Barton Lodge was a perfect choice for our family get together.”

    6 adults and 2 dogs for 3 nights. Location was good to get to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the pub, for food and drink. There was more than enough room to park our cars. The property was very clean and comfortable.

The property

Barton Lodge is a delightful property set within the beautiful Exmoor National Park, yet conveniently positioned a short distance from the coast at Porlock, Somerset.

The celebrated Salt Path sits just half a mile away.

Featuring a generous garden with far‑reaching countryside views, off‑road parking for three cars, and welcoming two well‑behaved dogs, it offers an inviting base for families or friends seeking a peaceful break.

Step inside this single‑storey retreat to find a kitchen/diner, ideal for preparing and sharing meals at the dining table.

During warmer evenings, make the most of the pergola with seating for six, switching on the fairy lights as dusk falls.

After dining, unwind in the sitting room, where leather sofas provide a restful spot to enjoy the TV, or select a book for a quiet moment.

Outdoors, the property continues to impress with its sizeable rear garden, perfect for relaxing with a favourite drink as you admire the scenic surroundings.

This tranquil space, framed by mature greenery, often attracts local wildlife, offering a calm connection to nature.

When it’s time to refresh, choose between the sleek shower room for a quick rinse or enjoy a leisurely soak in the bathroom before heading to bed.

Three thoughtfully presented bedrooms await— a king‑size, a twin, and a zip/link twin—each with dual‑aspect windows for added natural light.

Explore the charms of Porlock, beginning with a sunlit visit to Porlock Beach, where you can wander along the pebbles and take in coastal views towards Porlock Weir.

Walk to the coastguard lookout at Hurlstone Point, and in summer treat yourself to a traditional Somerset cream tea in a quiet village café.

Those interested in history or photography will appreciate the National Trust’s Dunster Castle, a medieval stronghold later transformed into a Victorian country home, complete with a working Watermill offering a glimpse into 18th‑century milling heritage.

Discover the tranquillity of Watersmeet, where the East Lyn River meets Hoar Oak Water, providing scenic walking routes through untamed countryside.

For family fun, visit Splash Waterworld with its varied pools and slides.

Minehead offers shops, eateries, a sandy beach, and the terminus of the West Somerset Railway, the longest heritage steam railway in England.

You may also come across the charming Blenheim Gardens, known for its colourful displays and peaceful lawns.

Continue your search for calm at Landacre Bridge, an exceptionally preserved medieval stone bridge, perfect for a picnic stop.

Keen walkers can take on Dunkery Beacon, the highest point in Exmoor, boasting outstanding panoramic views, as well as the quiet clearing of Webbers Post.

Conclude your day with a visit to Robber’s Bridge, a historic stone bridge surrounded by folklore.

Then, as you look up at the night sky from the spacious garden at Barton Lodge, you can reflect on the adventures still to come.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £300.

About the location

PORLOCK

Minehead 5.5 miles; Lynton 11 miles.

Porlock is a quaint village, popular with tourists due to its character, proximity to the lovely North Somerset coastline and situation within the Exmoor National Park. There are plenty of little gift shops along with pubs, cafes and restaurants to be found and only two miles away, the picturesque harbour of Porlock Weir offers wonderful views across the Bristol Channel. The Porlock Hill takes travelers up a steep, winding road out of the village to the Exmoor Hills, where walkers, horse riders and cyclists will love the open space, where ponies and red deer roam the moors. In 2011, Exmoor was designated as Europe’s first International Dark Skies Reserve, and so this is an excellent base for a romantic evening spent gazing at the stars, where a clear night unveils an abundance of interesting constellations to the naked eye. Porlock offers the choice of sea fishing from the weir, and the reservoirs and rivers of Exmoor are only a short, scenic drive away. Golfers can stay in Porlock and enjoy one of the several courses on the edges of Exmoor, with the nearest only seven miles away. The medieval village of Dunster, where the castle dominates the skyline, makes a great day out, or take a ride on the West Somerset steam train along the coast to the little harbour village of Watchet. A fabulous village location with lots of outdoor pursuits to interest every visitor.
