Places to eat – The Porlock Weir Hotel is the owners' favourite place to go locally. The restaurant offers good food in a semi-formal setting, or they have a terrace serving pizza and other bits and bobs which is more causal and has the most incredible views over the harbour.
Also in Porlock Weir, Porlock Bay Oysters serve amazing oysters and other seafood in their ‘Oyster shack’.
There are 3 pubs in Porlock itself, The Royal Oak offers nice food in a cosy setting, The Castle is a great place to have a drink and has a pool table and lots of friendly locals, and The Top Ship is a good ‘allrounder’ pub with plenty of space and a nice beer garden with a children’s play area.
Bossington Beach is about 10 minutes on foot from the property, and from here you can walk along to Porlock and Porlock Weir, or up to Hurlestone Point and up, up, up to Selworthy Beacon if you're up for a challenge! Lots of wonderful walks in this area, direct from the door.
