Worthy Barn, Porlock Weir

Great property, could sit and look out through the bifold doors all day at the view across the bay to Bossington Hill, stunning as the sun goes down. ..literally changes colour. Very well equipped, house not lacking in any department, only issue would be lack of space to hang clothing items up, apart from one wardrobe downstairs, other than that no quibbles. Nice touch of the owners to leave local information on walks, maps etc...very useful and helpful in an unfamiliar area with limited time to explore. Happily return. PS.....Porlock Weir also a great little hamlet

It's a beautiful location and very clean. The internet is super fast . The setting is very peaceful and it really is a magical spot.

Could not fault the property for location, cleanliness and facilities. Location is tranquil, with easy access to local amenities. Perfect place for a totally relaxed holiday.

Everyone now and then you happen upon somewhere that almost feels like a privilege to stay at. This is such a place. West Porlock has everything you need, the views from Worthy Barn are wonderful and you can pick up numerous walking routes from straight outside the property. An absolute treasure.

This is a very special cottage, quality fittings, comfortable, and with a memorable view.

Worthy Barn is a lovely house with splendid views of the sea and coast. Very well equipped with everything one might require. The listing doesn't mention it but there are EV charge points in the drive.

The house is situated perfectly, with a sea view, access to walking routes through forest and along the coastal path. Nearby Porlock Weir has much to offer too. Inside, the house is spacious, comfortable and wellequipped.

We have had a wonderful week at Worthy Barn, it is comfortable and spacious with fabulous views. The children enjoyed exploring and playing in the quirky garden and the raised decking was brilliant for taking in views of the sea and bays. A short walk takes you down to the harbour and beach of Porlock Weir where there is a pub, cafe and restaurant. The house is well equipped with quality bathrooms and comfortable beds. It is a great place to stay!

We just could not fault it. First class and high end kitchen utensils, crockery and appliances. The lined and towels were quality. Beds were comfy. Both the kitchen and lounge had exceptional views of the sea and south west Wales coast line. Spent the afternoons relaxing on the decking sipping a nice chilled wine. We will certainly be back and looking forward to seeing the enhancements to the property such as patio furniture for the decking outside kitchen and opening the balcony in the lounge area which will just make the views more stunning. We would agree with other reviews that the walk to Porlock Weir is not suitable for the elderly or children. The beach from the cottage is in inaccessible but the views from the barn were stunning. If you are looking for a sandy beach for children then Minehead would be ideal. We would recommend visits to Whortleberry tea room Porlock and the bottom ship inn at Porlock Weir. If you any issues or concerns about the property then ,Dave gardener maintenance was pleasant, helpful and provided some extremely useful tips were to visit.

The property is fabulous BUT, it could easily be a 10 out of 10 with some added attention to details. Weve used VRBO, AirBandB & Sykes for rentals and a welcome package is so nice. Eggs, milk, bread, bacon not just a bottle of wine! The information on the property such as the range instructions and TV need to be added. Also, the downstairs beds really need to be upgraded to pillow tops. Otherwise, its an awesome location and property. It would have been great to be able to access the upstairs deck from the living room.

Fantastic property. Beautifully furnished. Very comfortable beds. Super showers. Plenty of hot water. Well equipped kitchen. Fabulous garden with access to paddock so useful for our dog. Beautiful views. Walks from the door. Lovely to meet the owner who was dropping off items which another reviewer had suggested were needed. Very kind and friendly. Also met attentive and friendly David handyman who became our local area historical guru! We enjoyed our week's stay so much that we stayed another week. We will definitely be back. As per owner's request, our feedback includes a small suggested improvement.....it would be even more ideal if our dog could have joined us in the upstairs lounge in the evenings perhaps a snug area downstairs or a stair gate upstairs stopping dog access to bedrooms would be the answer.

A quick 3 night family break before Christmas. The house has been recently refurbished and looks amazing. Very cosy inside, heating is superb. Inside is well appointed with high end bits and bobs. The area is very beautiful, we haven't been to porlock before but we'll definitely return. Local pub just a walk away and amazing evening meals, the costal path into porlock weir is currently blocked by fallen trees so we had to use the road. Only thing I'd say the house needs is some baking trays in the kitchen and toilet brushes. All in all, a great little break which was just what we needed.

Before reading my review please understand that my stay here was affected by storm Darragh. Badly affected, we had to leave two days late and had no powerheating for 3 days afterwards In no way can the owners or Sykes be blamed for this, but I wanted you to know the context for my review, The Property Stunning, comfortable, spacious and everything we could ask for. We go away in the UK a couple of times a year, we like peace, quiet, some luxuries, This offers all of that. Location As beautiful and stunning as the property. I didn't know Somerset had so much to offer. The view from the property is worth the price of admission alone, let alone anything else. If you like exploring and countryside you'll be very happy here. Friendliness The local people here were great. Friendly, helpful, chatty. The local pubs were great, Nothing not to like and much to enjoy. Contact Dave, the caretaker, was brilliant!! Properly so!! He couldn't have been more helpful during, not the best of times. He went above and beyond and all I have to say thank you. Problem There is a reason that this isn't a 5 review. I can't fault the owners, property, location, scenery or people, but I have a pet peeve pun intended. I am tired of reading Pet Friendly when often it's actually Pet Tolerant. I understand no pets on furniture or beds. I understand no pets in certain rooms. Yet here, based on the house rules, that you don't get to see until you arrive, are basically lock your dog in the kitchen or outside. My dog is part of my family. When you have no electricity, the room with a log burner is on the first floor, you are sat under torchlight, and your dog is locked downstairs, that is is unreasonable. Even without the affects of the storm, to me, that is unreasonable. Either your Pet Friendly or not, i don't think Worthy Barn is. Conclusion Fantastic place to go and stay, just less so for dog owners.

Such a lovely, comfortable property, really feels like a home. Well cared for, attention to detail. Only thing and it is small, is shelves in showersbathrooms to put things on.. other than that thank you for sharing your home it was lovely and would definitely look to go back and will recommend. Porlock weir is just the best place, we loved it! Gail and family

Beautiful property, superbly situated. Lovely views and great walks from the door.

The property is beautiful and has amazing views. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen has all necessary supplies for cooking with even two ! dishwashers to make the cleanup easy. Even a froth maker on hand for delicious coffees. Everything brand new. We couldnt have asked for more. We were 2 families with kids and had a fantastic time at Worthy Barn and its stunning surroundings. I would highly recommend!
