Clean, well kept and equipped. Beds were comfortable and the shower was lovely. My only tiny comment would be that the leather corner seating/sofa in the lounge has become a bit saggy and is very low. Difficult to get comfortable on even with all of the lovely cushions. The car parking space was really useful.

Absolutely perfect in every way, the biscuits and bubbly were a lovely touch, location excellent and spotlessly clean and the private parking was brilliant as we would have really struggled otherwise, we literally parked the car when we got there and didn't use it again until we came home...absolutely fabulous.

We enjoyed our stay, the cottage is in a fantastic position - just a short walk into Minehead, with shops and pubs very close by. The beach is also a short walk away and Blenheim Gardens are a delight.

An exemplary holiday cottage that we can't praise highly enough. We frequently self cater and often feel that the property in question leaves a number of things to be desired, but not here. We have already recommended the cottage to several family and friends and we don't do that very often.

We had a lovely week at this cosy cottage. Everything was clean and tidy, and it proved a good base for our family. The parking space was useful as there was limited space on the road, although that meant a lack of outside space to play. However, there is a playground / field just down the road so that wasnt really an issue. The beach / cafes / shoRead moreps / steam train are only a short walk away. Hide

Wonderful holiday. The cottage was spotlessly cleans and very well equipped. We loved the little treats on arrival. The location was great, perfect distance to all there was to do in Minehead and surrounding areas. The shower was brilliant, and the cottage was very comfortable. The private parking was ideal.

Everything at the cottage was fantastic. Loved the character of the cottage and the secret garden. It was ideal having the car parking space as it was quite a busy street. Having a washing machine and a dish washer was a bonus. Just like home from home. Thank you
