It was a great stay in an amazing surrounding. the house was comfortable and clean. We started each morning with a step to the seat in front of our house . We had a great view to the see and nice talks with people who brought their dogs by car to the entrance of the national park. Just a few steps away from the house is a pub "The Old Ship Aground" with wonderful food and excellent beer.

We had a lovely holiday in a clean comfortable house right on the edge of the sea. November was not the best month to visit Minehead but the weather was unseasonably good and we were even able to take the babies on the beach, The cafe next to the the Ship Aground did us a take away breakfast Saturday and Sunday which was very reasonable and well cooked. The pub on the quay has an extensive menu and the food is very good, We can also recommend the fish and chip shop on the sea front. The dog also had a lovely time with lots of walks! Just one negative. We had toddler twins and had to lug cot beds down from home so it would have been nice if a local place could have been recommended where we could have hired cot beds and high chairs. we did wonder whether Butlins would do this?

This property is a great place to chill as well an excellent base to explore from, plenty of space for all types of families and a very well presented with all the mod cons and games in the house and a great walking area along the cliff top or a short walk to the ship aground or the taste cafe by the harbour and the town centre is an easy flat 20 minute walk where you will find the Wheelhouse restaurant which was most excellent . There is ample parking supplied with the property and there is in the near by car park and sea front parking for additional vehicles.

This is a fantastic holiday cottage. Firstly the location is perfect with sea views in front and the moors just a very short walk away. The cottage itself is well looked after, with everything you could need for a family holiday. Our girls appreciated use of the Wii on the one rainy day we had. All the bedrooms are spacious and we especially loved waking to the sound and views of the sea. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. All facilities are modern. There is an information book for the cottage and with details of nearby attractions. We did not want to leave such a wonderful place and you can bet your bottom dollar we will return.
