By Elisabeth on 22-Nov-2019Beautiful tranquil spot The house oozed character and felt good to be part of history. The amenities were excellent and all the family said how comfortable the beds were. There was a slight hiccup at the beginning when we arrived , but this was responded to immediately and efficiently. Highly recommend the porch house. 10/31/2019 at 10:06 PM

By Louise on 22-Nov-2019Beautiful location We were so happy to stay in this beautiful home with everything we could have hoped for. Lovely bathrooms too and very well equipped kitchen. We loved the resident ducks on the stream outside also! Can’t wait to come back again. 11/19/2019 at 3:02 PM

By Vickie on 25-Aug-2019A fairy tale experience — the cottage, hamlet and area. The cottage and Castle Combe could have come directly from a happy fairytale. A once in a life experience. We will never forget driving into the village in disbelief that we were actually staying here. Don’t miss an opportunity to feel like your living in history. 08/25/2019 at 6:54 AM

Porch House
By Susan W on 08-Feb-2019Beautiful, comfortable cottage in the Cotswolds Porch House is absolutely stunning. It is ideally situated for exploring nearby villages such as Lacock and Bradford-on-Avon is just a short drive away. I stayed here with 4 friends, the cottage is very comfortable and equipped to a high standard. Shirley, the owner is very helpful and quick to reply to any queries. There are two pubs in the village serving nice food, and there is a circular walk that takes in Ford a hamlet that also has a pub serving the most delicious Sunday roast. I would thoroughly recommend Porch House
