lovely location and very comfortable, homely accommodation. Bring extra bird food! Great walks either from the front door or not far away.

Great location for a peaceful stay and plenty of walking routes from the cottage. The cottage was well equipped and spotlessly clean on our arrival. A short drive from the charming village of Porlock and only 25 mins or so to Minehead. We would definitely like to stay at Oare Water Cottage again!
