Your Coastal Retreat in Porlock Weir
Nestled in the heart of the stunning Exmoor coast, The Ship Inn at Porlock Weir is more than just a pub—it's a destination, a retreat, and a warm welcome at the edge of the sea. With roots tracing back over 200 years, our historic inn has long been a haven for weary travellers, sailors, walkers, and locals alike.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Porlock Bay and the ancient woodland of Exmoor National Park, The Ship Inn blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Whether you’re dropping in for a pint of local ale, a hearty meal or staying the night in one of our cosy rooms, you'll feel the character and history.
In the summertime, our outdoor tables offer some of the best views on the coast—perfect for enjoying a cold drink, a leisurely lunch, or simply watching the boats drift by as the sun sets over the harbour.
At our core, we’re all about relaxed hospitality. Log fires, sea views, good conversation, and great food, these are the ingredients we believe make a perfect visit. We’re proud to champion West Country suppliers and seasonal menus.
Whether you're exploring the South West Coast Path or simply soaking in the peaceful harbour setting, The Ship Inn is your home by the sea.
