Loved our room!
We had a lovely room with a beautiful oriental bed and a balcony. The bed was more comfortable than ours at home! Staff were friendly and eager to see to our needs. Breakfast was very nice 😊

Nice spot to stay if walking the coast path
Very peaceful and enjoyable stay.for one night stopover whilst walking the SW Coast Path. Quick, easy, friendly check-in. Nice, quiet, refurbished room with excellent shower and comfy bed. Plug in bathroom sink didn't work properly. Excellent, freshly cooked breakfast and nice evening dinner at a reasonable price.

Comfortable base for hiking
The owners were really hospitable, breakfast was delicious. Prices in the bar were reasonable.
Room was clean and comfortable with fabulous shower over the bath.
Only small niggle was a slight dog odour when we arrived.
On-street parking outside is unlimited after 6pm until 8am. Pay and display car parks nearby.
Regular bus service into Minehead. Plenty of bridleway paths within easy reach of the hotel.
Great base for first section of the South West Coast Path.

Nice family operated Inn with friendly staff.
Good food and nice freshly made breakfast.
We spent two nights and for us it was a perfect stop on our way to Cornwall. Nearby there are very nice places to visit like Dunster, Valley of Rocks, Lynton-Lynmouth, ...

Just right for our short break.
Lovely Pub / B&B. Perfect for a short stay. The staff were really helpful and friendly and the full English breakfast was fabulous. The pub was full and lively both nights but with a room a few floors up it didn't bother us and was actually nice to see a pub busy with drinkers and guests . Room was clean and comfy. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
