Adults-Only 4-Room Inn with Sea Views and Five-Course Italian Dining at Porlock Weir
Location & Setting
Locanda On The Weir occupies a Victorian building directly in front of Porlock Weir's 15th-century harbour, inside Exmoor National Park. The four-room adults-only inn looks out across the harbour and sea, while Exmoor's moors and ancient woodlands sit at the doorstep. The South West Coast Path runs past the property, and Bristol Airport lies 94 km away.
Rooms & Grounds
Each of the four rooms has a flat-screen TV, an en suite bathroom, and complimentary Aromatherapy Associates toiletries. Every room takes in sea views across the harbour, and the shared lounge and bar has an open fire. Outside, the garden, outdoor furniture, and picnic area offer space to relax within the adults-only grounds.
Dining
Onsite dining at Locanda On The Weir comes from an Italian restaurant with a seasonal menu and Italian wines. Chef Pio prepares a five-course set dinner on four nights a week, starting at 7.30 pm for hotel guests. A la carte breakfast is included in the room price, with fresh, locally sourced ingredients used throughout.
Activities & Exploration
Guests can pick up e-bike hire from a nearby outdoor experience company and ride Exmoor's moors and woodlands. Kayaking, paddle boarding, mountain biking, and hiking are all available in the area, with archery on site at the hotel. Porlock Weir's 15th-century harbour, the Holnicote Estate, and Porlock Marsh are all accessible from the doorstep.
Services & Events
Host Cindy brings a personal approach to events and celebrations, and the entire property can be booked for exclusive use. Free car parking is provided for one space per room, with private check-in/check-out available. Dogs are welcome, and guests have access to luggage storage, packed lunches, and a shared lounge with a TV.
