Stunning coastal home with 6 Bedooms / 6 bathrooms. Sleeps unto 12 people and pets are allowed. Positioned on the coastal slopes of Exmoor, just a few minutes walk to the picturesque 15th century fishing village of Porlock Weir, Owlscombe really is perfectly positioned. If you are looking for a holiday home with a Seaview you won't be disappointed! With 6 bedroom arranged over 3 floors, 6 bathrooms, 2 lounge areas, a games room, dining area and huge kitchen you won't be short of space. Couple this with 2 balconies, large patio with table, chairs, BBQ and fabulous gardens with hidden paths, ponds and a rill there is space for everyone to sit back and enjoy.
Hi and thank you for considering our holiday home for your next break. We have owned Owlscombe for 7 years now and have recently finished an extensive refurbishment. The local area really is thriving with activity with a huge amount to see and do right on the doorstep. As hosts we are contactable 24/7 to help you plan your trip with key tips and recommendations but far enough away that you have a peaceful and private holiday.
Porlock Weir is a hidden gem of a village. A thriving local community based around the 15th century harbour and just a short stroll from the house. Here, the hungry traveller will find family and dog friendly Bottom Ship Inn and Locanda, an Italian restaurant. A new luxury Hotel offers further dining options including a fabulous Pizza terrace. Whilst the old harbour buildings have further Tea rooms and Ziang's who create wonderful South East Asian Street food. The food options are so good we even have our own local Oyster farm!
