Perfectly nice hotel, slap-bang in the centre of Porlock. 7 of us stayed after walking the Coleridge Way. You could call the rooms either "dated" or "quaint" dependent on your point of view, but they were nicely furnished, clean, comfortable and they served a great breakfast.

The Hotel is centrally based in the heart of Porlock and the adverture which is Lorna Doone. For us the Hotel offered peace and tranquility, love the snug which on a rainey day would be a great place to watch the world go by, sitting in front of a lovely fireplace with a filling cream tea. The Hotel too me... More

No hot water, turns out hot water on a timer and it is off during the day! Guests not informed about the timer. Hotel says they have wi-fi but it turns out it is only available in limited areas across building. Not available in our room. I made a cup of tea in my room and there were bits of... More

Room was adequate, clean, homely but somewhat cluttered. Parking was adequate but not too easily accessible. Reception was friendly and the meal well presented and prepared. The name of the Hotel attracted us. We enjoyed the little nook to sit and read afford a pleasant retreat on a rainy day. Overall we had a pleasant stay but realized that with... More

We came here for a crem tea with view of having an evening meal and maybe staying the night but after the cream tea we decided not to come back. Everywhere seemed a little grubby and tired looking as though it could do with a good clean. The cream tea was ok and the scones were fresh but the young... More

Stopped by chance for lunch - which was excellent - and returned later to book a room based purely on the warm welcome we received at lunchtime and the quality of the food. The welcome was just as warm later on - but it was Carnival Day and after booking in, we discovered that the excellent and varied menu nornally... More

We have stayed here before many years ago and know the area well. Needing a quick break we booked into Lorna Doone for 2 nights. A friendly welcome - an instant hello which is often missing from so many places - shops and hotels - but not here. Good value- breakfast plenty and evening meal good. Yes, the place is... More

Very poor room,very tired hotel needs a visit from the Hotel inspector. Shower over bath did not work,just lots of things but it does need a good refurbishment from top to bottom. Liked Porlock much nicer than Minehead,but should have checked out the hotel before taking the room
