    It has marvellous location to see Dovery Manor Museum. Furthermore, it's adjacent to Porlock for the May bank holiday weekend as well as nearby attractions.

    Overall I spent my time lovely. I have just spent 2 days in double room with the garden, very comfortable beds, for example, and liked it.

    That parking was missing.

    The couple running the place were very friendly and accommodating. We were able to borrow DVDs and the room had everything we needed. The location was ideal for exploring the town and its surroundings.

    The parking situation was a bit inconvenient as it was either in a pay car park or a short walk away. It might be a hassle if you have heavy luggage.
