Railway Cottage was the perfect base for our family break. It was warm and cosy, with comfy beds in a perfect location for exploring Minehead and the surrounding area - especially the steam railway. Little touches like games to play and treats in the kitchen made it really special! The owner contacted us beforehand to introduce herself and suggest Read moreactivities, and even kindly sent back some items we left behind. Would definitely stay again! Hide
