Hartshanger

Summary

Hartshanger is an Edwardian gentleman's residence set above the village of Porlock in the heart of the Exmoor National Park. The servant’s quarters in the main house and the coach house were converted into beautiful self-catering accommodation by the previous owners of the house. We have lived here since 1996.

About Hartshanger

The house is situated within grounds of about 5 acres with lovely views over Porlock Bay towards Wales. It is a peaceful place, with the only sounds being that of the surf on the beach below and the occasional call from a seagull, buzzard or sheep. It is the ideal place for those wanting to get away from it all and relax.
