“The Lorna Doone Hotel impressed me with its dedication to guest comfort and warm, personalized service, a rare find. Its location in Porlock makes it ideal for exploring the South West Coastal Path; hikers especially appreciate the thoughtful touches like packed lunches and fresh milk in the rooms. I find that the combination of friendly staff, comfortable accommodations, and exceptional food creates a truly welcoming atmosphere.”
