We stay with Ann and Martin each time we visit family in Porlock and thoroughly recommend the Butterflies guest house. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very comfortable and immaculately clean and the breakfast, cooked or continental, is excellent including home made bread. SC

I arrived at The Butterflies after a hard day walking from Minehead and was greeted with a very warm welcome from Ann & Martin. A lovely spacious en-suite room with lots of extras and a fabulous breakfast meant for a really enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend this B&B as a great place to stay in Porlock.

We enjoyed a short break in Porlock, staying at the Butterflies. Ann and Martin made our stay so enjoyable with their welcome, helpful file of walks and maps, the wonderful breakfasts and little extras in the room that all added to our enjoyment. We would definitely recommend The Butterflies as THE place to stay in Porlock!

The butterflies was a brilliant bnb with a warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and good spacious clean rooms. The price for the three nights we spent were great value for the area and the breakfasts were tailor-made to what we wanted each day using a checklist. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Had a wonderful few days staying at The Butterflies right in the heart of pretty Porlock. The en-suite bedroom was beautiful, clean, spacious, comfortable and with lovely views. Breakfast was excellent, by far the best cooked breakfast we've ever had! We received a lovely welcome from the hosts and will thoroughly recommend this B&B to all our friends.

Just spent 4 nights B&B at Butterflies, really nice room with en suite. Fantastic breakfasts, especially the full english, plus also had potato cakes which were great. Made to feel welcome, nice hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.
