Excellent welcome, accommodation and location to explore Porlock Bay. We have visited this area previously, either camping or self-catering, and this trip decided on B&B for a change. We were not disappointed, and would recommend the breakfast waffles, afternoon tea, and evening dinner. More

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were blown away but the level of care and attention we were offered. Meryl's breakfasts are a wonder to behold and we loved the afternoon tea, coffee and cakes as well. We were very impressed. More

Glen Lodge sits high on a hill looking down through the valley that the town of Porlock sits in, outstanding view. The rooms are wonderfully decorated and the gardens and grounds are are immaculately kept. We stayed in the Coleridge Room with a huge bay window that looked out over the valley below. The room was large and well appointed.... More

We Don't usually stay at B&B's, however we stayed here for one night on a recommendation. Situated on the side of a hill in a very pretty area, the Glen Lodge has beautiful views towards the sea in the distance from at least one side of the house. It is run by a very friendly and hospitable owner who goes... More

Glen Lodge offers a quiet retreat in a stunning position. It is roomy, homely and very comfortable. Meryl the owner could not have been more welcoming and friendly. She even got a Farmers Weekly magazine delivered for breakfast! You can walk directly out of the garden up into the heart of Exmoor Forest and onto the highest point on Exmoor.... More

Porlock is just gorgeous and the location of this B&B is pretty special - high up on a hill overlooking it all. If you don't like walking or driving up a steep slope, this won't be for you, but I liked it. I was surprised to find myself in a room different to the one I'd thought I'd booked –... More

I do so wish you had said something - particularly with the bedspread issue. I have checked all of them (which I regularly do as I do the laundry and ironing) and can't find it but will keep a closer eye. With regard to missing your room on cleaning schedule one day, I sincerely apologise. We do try to make... More

Wonderful place to stay if you are touring this area, situated at the end of a road surrounded by well kept gardens, very peaceful. Hosts were terrific, very welcoming, warm and helped us plan our day trips. The house is quite old, some damp and you could hear people talking in the lounge if your bedroom was on the first... More

My stay at the glenlodge was positive in every way. Nice location, lovely room which was spotlessly clean and had a great view, nice lounge to sit in and have a cup of tea, friendly hosts, tasty breakfast. It is a bit away from the centre of the village (7 mins walk) but therefor very quiet. More

Meryl and David are are the perfect hosts. We were welcomed with tea and cakes on the terrace, where we sat until the sun went down in the valley. Porlock was a short walk each evening where we especially enjoyed our meals at the Piggy in the Middle restaurant. Guests have use of the library and comfortable sitting room. Breakfasts... More
