    “Lovely well equipped cottage, comfortable beds and bonus outdoor space with hot tub.”

    We came to relax and we did while also visiting beaches, beauty spots and country pubs. The hosts were welcoming and attentive nothing would have been too much trouble.

Bilbrook Holiday Cottages

Bilbrook Holiday Cottages consists of a glorious selection of two cottages resting near the historic village of Washford and the historic village of Dunster. This collection offers woodburning stoves, hot tubs, pizza ovens, and barbecues, so ideal for a big group or family that simply adores that outdoor lifestyle. The surroundings offer fantastic countryside trails for some idyllic strolls, and you can catch some rare wildlife by visiting the Tropiquaria Zoo. If you don’t fancy cooking, have a scrumptious meal out and about at one of the nearby eateries, such as the Luttrell Arms in Dunster. If you want a sea view with your treat, be sure to go to the East Quay Kitchen. For a day out, go to Watchet to enjoy the beach by sunbathing, dipping in the sea or having some sandy sports competitions. Watchet has an array of museums, such as The Radio Museum or the Watchet Boat Museum, for those who love to learn more. Dunster has plenty to do, especially for history lovers, as the Dunster Castle has a rich 1000-year history to be in awe of. Nutcombe Bottom has glorious paths for a group to walk or cycle, even tempting you into a race with one another. Slightly further afield, Minehead has the Blenheim Gardens for some beautiful scenery, the Minehead Eye activity centre to allow the kids to run wild, as well as The Golden Retriever Experience to be overwhelmed with the cutest of furry friends. A momentous holiday to remember for the rest of time is on its way if you book a stay at Bilbrook Holiday Cottages.
