Stayed for 1 night with some friends whilst walking the pilgrims church walk. 
The breakfast at the lorna doone hotel was one of the best I have ever had. Quality ingredients cooked to a very high standard.  It was excelent and kept us going for most of the day!

short walking holiday

Another enjoyable evening meal at the Lorna Doone restaurant. I now always make sure to pre-book to avoid disappointment; it's easy enough to do. Staff are always welcoming and helpful and the little dining room is very cosy. This time I had a glass of delicious Merlot with the Cajun chicken, which was tasty and just at the perfect side of spicy for me. Previously I enjoyed the Lamb Three Ways and the slow cooked beef ribs. I didn't intend to have pudding, but opted again for the rhubarb & ginger affair...
My companions also love the Lamb, but this time had the Saltimbocca, which they really enjoyed.

Our favourite local restaurant

Excellent value for money, friendly and helpful staff. We booked a small double which was small but had everything we needed with nice thoughtful extras such as cotton wool pads and buds, a flask with fresh milk for tea and coffee provided. 
We requested an early dinner one night which was perfectly accommodated and the food was excellent. The menu was varied and interesting. We will definitely stay again, many thanks.

Convenient, cosy and calm.

A weekend staying in Porlock with our dog Mick, I came across this dog friendly hotel on the high street.  Easy to find, good parking and a pub next door ! 
Upon arrival we were welcomed with a warm greeting from the owner. After booking in we climbed up an old creaky staircase. Our room, a twin, was cosy
And comfortable. Our dog immediately found a comfy spot on his blanket on the floor. After a bit of shut eye we headed down to reception to hopefully have a dinner in the dining room. But to our disappointment it was fully booked. 
But we headed to the pub next door, and had a lovely meal. Next morning we we’re up and ready for breakfast, a cracking choice on the menu, and even a sausage for our dog ! 
A cracking hotel which we will visit again.

Porlock and Exmoor weekend trip.

I just wanted to say what a fantastic meal we had on Friday, beautiful food, amazing service... everything was so tasty and well presented, couldn't fault and thing and we'll be back next week. 

So great to see somebody leading the way with food in our area..  keep it up, will be recommending to all out guests.

What a gem!:

Stayed at a B&B in Porlock and ate at the Lorna Doone twice and was really pleasantly surprised on both occasions. The food is good and plentiful and the service friendly and professional. I will definitely dine there again on future visits to Porlock

A Hidden Gem in Porlock

We stayed two nights in the Lorna Doone and ate in the restaurant both evenings.  The food was truly excellent - great choice of food on the menu with daily specials.  The meals were beautifully and very professionally presented.  The  breakfasts were also fantastic. 10 out of 10.

The ambience in the bar and restaurant was great - each of  the rooms had been tastefully decorated and the bedroom - we had the one in the picture - was comfortable, although the windowless bathroom was a bit dark.  

Very disappointingly our room was not serviced after our first night there, especially as someone had been in our room to bring a fresh supply of milk in a flask.  Bizarrely, just prior to getting into bed on the second night, I found a dirty pair of glasses on the floor between the bed and the bedside table, which had definitely not been there the previous (first) night.  It was a mystery as to what they were doing there - had someone been having a snooze on the bed whilst we were out all day?  When I gave them to the owner/manager the next day, all she said was “How odd” and that was it.  No apology or an assurance that she would have a word with the cleaner etc.   I had also told her earlier that the coffee machine in our room didn’t work and her comment was the same.  No attempt to send someone to look at it or replace it.  As I had praised the food to the hilt and expressed appreciation of the packed lunches, which again were excellent, I was very disappointed to be ‘fobbed off’ with no explanation or apology as to why our room had not been serviced despite the evidence of someone having been in there………



Top marks for food and waitress service, low marks for housekeeping

We had just done a long walk and were planning a takeaway sat in a nice park on the way back to our hotel as the evening was nice. Initially we saw the sign for takeaway nearby so parked up and walked back, but when we read the menu it didn't appeal. However we looked at Lorna Doons which sounded fantastic and locally sourced so we popped in on the off chance. Helpful friendly staff who found us a table. Great food too with the emphasis on seasonal local products. Amazing puddings. So pleased we popped it it was one of the highlights of our trip. Thankyou 

Try this place it won't disappoint. 

Not stayed at the hotel but eaten in the restaurant. Great, local food . Best food in Porlock and no more expensive than the pubs, but twice the quality.
Nicely refurbished so feels like a proper restaurant. Attentive waitress. 

Really good food

We only went for a dinner. Excellent service and fabulous food. We didn't book in advance but they were very welcoming and managed to provide us with a table for four. Very pleased to have come there for dinner without any plans. We also had a vegetarian member of our party with a specific request to modify a dish, which was done perfectly and without any fuss. Couldn't have made a better choice.
