Great place to stay.

The Hotel is set in such a peaceful position overlooking the harbour. You must try the Pizza from their own wood burning pizza oven, sit with a pint and a pizza enjoying the tranquil view. The staff are brilliant and the service superb.

Excellent hotel and food

Excellent hotel in an excellent position overlooking the harbour. Food was excellent especially the breakfast. Will definitely look to stay again. The only downside is parking if you arrive on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon as the hotel shares the local car park, it can get very busy so you may have problems parking when you arrive.

Wonderful pet friendly hotel.

Beautiful location. Very dog friendly. We had a king size room overlooking the harbour. It was up a few flights of stairs but this was not an issue for us. Use of guest pantry which was a lovely touch. Very good breakfast menu. All staff were very friendly and helpful.

Pull your socks up Porlock Weir Hotel

We have enjoyed several stays at this hotel in the past, but clearly this time the hotel was having major staffing problems along with showing major signs of wear and tear. Our room though cozy had an easy chair that I sat in and needed to get my partner to pull me out as the springs are totally gone; the chairs in the dining room were in a similar state. We were with our friends so we were a group of eight people and had major problems with dinners in the dining room and sent food back several times. There were also issues with the person on the front desk as they were obviously inebriated with alcohol. The whole experience made me very sad as we’ve had such wonderful times there in the past; hopefully they can take this feedback and get the hotel back up to the level. It needs to be to be competitive with all of the hostelries in the area.

Had an excellent stay at The Porlock Weir Hotel. The hotel, formerly The Anchor, is under new management and has totally had a new lease of life. The decor is fresh, clean and ‘boutique’modern. Obviously the setting is to die for with beautiful harbour view rooms. Food was excellent too. The land dish I had was cooked to perfection and my partner really enjoyed his ravioli. Breakfast was also excellent. I recommend the haddock scotch egg. We had our dog with us and he was very welcome, the hotel setting us tables slightly away from the main dining room for comfort. After a walk around the harbour and to the headland we sat on the decked terrace where lots of walkers were enjoying a drink and the freshly made pizzas straight from their outdoor pizza oven. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm. There is also a lovely kitchen for the use of guests to make tea and coffee with complimentary fruit and mineral water. We all really loved this place, including the dog(!) and we will be going back very soon hopefully. Please note there is still some work ongoing in some parts of the hotel but this was of no inconvenience nor did it affect our stay in anyway (the doors only open end again in April). This is a really lovely place with a relaxed luxury feel.
