Lovely hotel with friendly hosts, very accommodating with dogs. Dinner and breakfast excellent. Room comfortable but a lower floor would have been preferable with the dog.

Warm welcome and great location
Made very welcome by Paul and Mel, nice clean ensuite double room. My pet spaniel was made welcome too. Located in the middle of town, with good parking, Id recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Porlock.
Breakfast was tasty and filling, with a good choice of cooked options.

Really welcoming
Really welcoming. Room a bit small but we knew that. Nice snug to sit in downstairs. Food was fantastic and they made a good packed lunch for walkers.

Great little hotel in Porlock
Great little hotel in Porlock, not far from the coast path. Room was very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was nice, staff were friendly. We also ate in the restaurant which did very good food.

I enjoyed my stay at Lorna Doone. The food and Drink is AMAZING! My real poultry pie was out of this world and the breakfast was to die for! The owners were every nice in providing me with an adapter, which i think i lost :(
My room was clean and comfortable, EXCEPT i couldn't get the heat to work. So I had a cold night :( Hence the 4 stars. I highly recommend this place.

Traditional Hotel Given Modern Makeover
The bar, restaurant and breakfast room were very tastefully decorated and furnished. Breakfast was very nice. Our room was cosy and had a sea view. Owners were friendly and helpful. All in all very good value for money.
