  • “Unfortunately we feel the spiral staircase was dangerous!”

    We are just into our 60’s and found it a difficult feature to deal with. Our dogs did not like the stairs and had to be carried up/down which lead to me sleeping on the sofa keeping the most nervous one company. We arrived on the Friday but cut our holiday short and left on the Sunday…..

    We are sorry to hear you had to cut your holiday short. We are confident the pictures show a true representation of the spiral stair case and had you had any concerns before booking we would have been more than happy to have answered these. Property Owner

The property

Porlock 0.5 miles.

Woodedge is a delightful mid-terrace cottage tucked away in the peaceful woodland valley of Hawkcombe, just half a mile from the charming village of Porlock in Somerset.

This characterful property is ideal for couples or small families looking for a tranquil rural retreat in the heart of Exmoor National Park.

Surrounded by nature and offering an enclosed garden and traditional features, it’s a welcoming base for walkers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.

Enter through stable-style doors into the open-plan living area, where you’ll find a compact but well-appointed kitchen, a small woodburning stove for warmth on cooler evenings, a television for relaxed viewing, and a folding dining table with seating for four.

The interior is simple and inviting, with thoughtful details throughout.

A distinctive wrought iron spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where two comfortable bedrooms—a double and a twin—share a bright bathroom complete with a bath and overhead shower.

Outside, a footbridge over a gentle stream leads to a private enclosed garden with outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying breakfast in the morning sunshine or a quiet drink in the evening.

Porlock offers a selection of independent shops, traditional pubs, and friendly cafés, all within easy reach.

Local highlights include the scenic South West Coast Path, the picturesque harbour at Porlock Weir, and the ancient woodland of Horner.

Venture further to explore the sweeping moorland of Dunkery Beacon, the postcard-perfect village of Selworthy, or the seaside town of Minehead, home to a sandy beach, heritage railway, and family attractions.

History lovers will enjoy a visit to nearby Dunster Castle and its medieval village.

Woodedge provides a peaceful and well-positioned base for discovering the natural beauty and timeless appeal of Exmoor and the Somerset coast.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

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.
