In reply to andy healey:
Had a few nights in November (only campers there) at the campsite in Porlock.
Very nice. Nice owner, v. short walk into the main street which has pubs and a good pie shop.
Short walk to pebbly beach - can be turned into a long walk by walking out to Hurlstone Point or in the other direction, Porlock Weir.
Between Minehead and Lynton, so both easily within driving distance. 1:4 hill out of Porlock though, 'tis pretty fun.
