A lovely hotel in a stunning location.
Pros:

The location is stunning and the hotel never disappoints us. The room was spacious and airy with a beautiful view across the harbour and bay. The employees are all friendly and helpful; nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent - especially the seafood platter. The location is perfect for walking or chilling out and there are plenty of places to visit within a short drive.

Cons:

Nothing.

Excellent
Pros:

We stayed here for a long weekend in the area, Porlock Wier Hotel is well placed for this slightly off the main highway. From the check-in to out, the service was excellent, nice to see that car parking was covered by the Hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and made daily, we travelled with two small dogs and as a nice touch the hotel provided beds for them, the whole hotel is dog friendly in all areas except the main restaurant. The food was very good, ample with the staff happy to deviate off menu, the stone cooked pizzas is excellent. On the journey home I had a call from the Hotel to say we had left a sweater in the room, they organised postage and it arrived the following day, another example of the excellent service. I would highly recommend this Hotel as one to checkout.

Overall a very pleasant place to stay
Pros:

Excellent breakfast. Plenty of choice. Appetising food
Unfortunately one of our meals at dinner was less than satisfactory- but the response by staff was very helpful . An alternative was offered and bill adjusted
Our room was pleasant, very nicely presented. Room was quite small - hence nowhere to sit except the bed.
We were on the second floor and the stairs were steep and narrow
Would not want to stay up there again, although we had help with luggage.
Public rooms are very pleasant and comfortable
All staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful

Cons:

Coffee was rather bitter, not very hot
Maybe been standing too long
Tea was rather weak
