Had a lovely time at this property. Although the house is quite big we mostly spent our time here in the lovely conservatory. The weather was a big help having the doors and Windows open to wander into the amazing garden. Did some lovely walks and visited some great pubs! A very good chance we may return.

We chose Chapel Knap to celebrate a big birthday and it proved the perfect place for the occasion. The house and gardens are fascinating and full of character, it was hard to tear ourselves away from the terrace with its beautiful sea view. We enjoyed every moment, relaxing in the conservatory, eating on the terrace and walking into delightful Porlock Weir with its harbour and superb Italian restaurant. A wonderful experience.

Beautifully situated old house set in the most stunning mature gardens. Someone planted these with love and experience. The ample conservatory and top terrace of the garden give beautiful views over the Bristol Channel, across the flats to Bossington Hill and across the trees in the garden below which is full of birds and butterflies. Just a couple of minutes walk down to Porlock Weir, we were lulled to sleep by the waves below. The house and its furniture, including the beds, are old style. We were just three and for our needs the little kitchen in the conservatory was well equipped, including good size fridge and separate freezer, microwave and the sort of accessories you miss if you find yourself without, including kitchen scales, good knives, salt and pepper mills. We were welcomed with lovely flowers from the garden on the table.

Great location, perfect for two families to get together. Amazing views. One bedroom has the best sea view I have seen from any house and I live next to the sea! Don't expect perfect finishes and immaculate cleanliness eg you'll find the odd dead fly in the huge garden room which will become the hub of your stay in summer. Furniture and decor is old/antique and full of quirky charm, but still has mod cons eg WiFi and satellite TV. Gardens are stunning. This will be a place we will come back to time and time again.
