Nice hotel for visiting Porlock and surrounding area.
Pros:

Very close to everything in Porlock. Very small room and bathroom but well thought out so for example plug bar high on wall so not having to move furniture to access. Good shower. Excellent breakfast and friendly host.

Cons:

The size of the room might be a problem if you had two big bags as luggage.
