The cottage was delightful - beautifully clean and a lot of thought had been given to providing what was needed. It was great to have a driveway and we discovered the tiny garden toward the end of the holiday as we thought the courtyard with the table and chairs was the garden! Having the town so close by was useful and there was warm hospitality aRead moret the local cafes, and the shop staff were all really friendly. The beach is slightly less beautiful than some other places, but an ideal base. Hide

The cottage which is right in the centre of Minehead is extremely well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. Having a private parking space was a welcome addition to the location. Minehead is a lovely town and the surrounding countryside is beautiful. The cottage was spotlessly clean and well maintained. We enjoyedRead more being able to walk to restaurants, the town, parks and the beach. We particularly enjoyed a day out on the West Somerset Steam Railway. Would return Hide

Really enjoyed our stay. Cottage had everything we needed and a brilliant shower. Great having own parking space, in a quiet location yet only 5 minutes walk to the lovely main street and 10 minutes to the beach. Only downside to Minehead is dogs are not allowed in the 2 parks closest to the cottage, making toileting difficult. Thank you.
