If you are looking for value for money then this is it. We hadn't prebooked but the owners made us very welcome. The room (we opted for sea view) had everything we needed and in good supply. There was a also a good selection for breakfast which included a beautifully cooked breakfast. There is only one negative which is when... More

Thank you for your review, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay. Regarding the keys, we have never experienced any problems and as we live on the premises one of us is always here. However, we can understand why you raised this and we are currently looking at ways we can address it. More

We stayed at the Overstream for three nights in April. The guesthouse is run by Neil and Maggie, a very friendly couple who were knowledgeable on the local area and quick to provide maps and suggested walking routes.  Our room was large with ensuite including a shower; the decor was basic but comfortable none the less and free wifi was...

Perfectly located for convenience in the centre of picturesque Porlock, but so peaceful the only noise you'll hear is the occasional melodic clang of bells from St Dubricus across the road, the Overstream Hotel is the ideal place for a short break n Exmoor. Our room was spacious and spotless. Any concerns about it being at the top of the... More

Arrived via Tourist Information Centre as we had been let down by another establishment. Really excellent room. Clean, bright and well decorated. Owners could not have been more friendly and helpful. Lots of local information offered. Breakfast was hot, plentiful with good quality food. Will definitely go back. More

Very comfortable stay, welcoming friendly hosts, who provide the much appreciated little extras, such as local walking map and advice where to go, recommendation of excellent local eateries, fill up your thermos on departure and of course a great location in the heart of Porlock on the Exmoor coast.

We were looking for some refreshements and came across the Overstream Hotel and after a brief look at the menu, decided to order a couple of cream teas. Well what can we say? The service... More

A welcoming, comfortable, homely hotel that I would like to return to. Proprietors NIck and Maggie are doing a great job here - very professional and also very kind and genuine. Breakfasts were terrific and the packed lunches excellent (especially the home-baked "surprise" each day). The room was spacious with two big windows and a nice view over thatched village... More
