    “Absolutely lovely cottage.”

    Garden was nice and big and great for the dog, as it was enclosed and he could have a good run round by himself. Pretty orchard with plum tree and apple trees. Asked the housekeeper and we were able to have some apples to make a pie, which was very nice. Cottage kitchen had everything we needed. Oven easy to use and plenty of pans etc for cooking. Scary top shelf of dishwasher, where you would normally put glasses, mugs etc. as it tips out and down annd things fall forward. Luckily no breaks ...

Scary top shelf of dishwasher, where you would normally put glasses, mugs etc. as it tips out and down annd things fall forward. Luckily no breaks though. Fridge was extremely cold and froze the veggies and cream we had. Beautifully decorated throughout, love the ‘Alice’ theme. Bedrooms lovely and nice large bathroom, although shower did take ages to drain away. Tiles and wooden floors excellent with a dog. Really enjoyed the area, lots of day trips out but not enough days in the week to do everything! Minehead has a nice pebbly beach, part of which is ok for dogs to run and play. ‘Albert’s’ walk is just outside of house, a little wooded pathway with a stream running alongside. Very pretty and you walk past sheep fields too. It takes you though little park areas all the way into Minehead. Had a great time :) thank you.

The property

A mile from Minehead and next to a ford below high heather-topped and wooded hills (sea views, fantastic for ramblers), on a tiny lane that meanders down the hill into the hamlet of Bratton, a pretty, detached, thatched cottage.

At the back, a very private, enclosed, tranquil garden (fenced wildlife pond, table/chairs, cottage planting) with plenty of lawn.

From the parking space, path over little bridge to back door and step down to kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker).

Step down to good-sized living/dining room with woodburner and Smart TV.

Lobby with door to lane.

Two bedrooms - a pretty, good-sized double (5' bed) with curved walls, stained glass windows and limited clothes-hanging space, and a neat single.

Three steps down to smart bathroom (suite with separate shower, step down to bath cosily under the eaves).

Outside loo (washing machine).

A really special, fun and comfortable place to stay at any time of year, particularly for couples or young families.

Bratton: farming hamlet below the A39 Minehead to Porlock road and on the edge of the beautiful Vale of Porlock.

Minehead (Exmoor's seaside resort, sandy beach, harbour, golf, tennis, swimming pool), 1½ miles; Selworthy (pretty National Trust village) and Selworthy Beacon (one of the highest points on Exmoor, terrific views), 2 miles; Porlock, 4.

About the location

MINEHEAD

Taunton 24 miles; Bridgwater 27 miles.

The popular seaside resort of Minehead occupies a wonderful sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the lovely West Somerset Coast. This welcoming town boasts a mile long esplanade, providing a wonderful backdrop to the golden beach, whilst the pretty harbour, visited in the summer by the famous paddle steamer Waverley, offers excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey from the seafront on the West Somerset Railway, or visit Blenheim Gardens, winner of many awards for its beautiful floral displays. Renowned for the largest herd of red deer in England, Exmoor National Park with its wooded valleys, pretty bridlepaths and heather clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.

Note: Sorry, no short breaks
