Greeted by a surge of rolling hills and patchwork meadows, and residing in the quaint village of Porlock, this one-bedroom retreat offers the perfect escape for couples with pets, who wish to explore the beauty of the Somerset countryside. Take in the beautiful views from the fabulous roof terrace or relax and unwind inside the inviting interior. Step inside The Old Thatch and you’ll be met by the thoughtfully-decorated kitchen/diner and sitting room, with plenty of space to relax, complete with an electric stove-effect fire for those cooler evenings. Take advantage of a range of appliances to rustle up a delicious meal, before settling down at the dining table or venturing up to the enclosed roof terrace, a fabulous spot to relish alfresco dining whilst soaking in the stunning countryside views. When sleep calls, retreat to the charming double bedroom, offering a tranquil haven for sleeping, while the shower room is perfect for freshening up after a day of exploration. In the morning, venture out to nearby Minehead, where you can saunter along the promenade and stroll past the iconic Butlins Resort, before taking the cliff railway to the picturesque village of Lynton. Here, you can explore the enchanting Valley of Rocks, before grabbing a bite to eat in one of the many quaint tea rooms or pubs. If you’re feeling adventurous, the Exmoor National Park awaits.
