It's
just a short walk to Minehead centre, passing through the attractive
"Higher Town" with its thatched cottages, cobbled by-ways and historic
church. Minehead offers visitors an excellent range of Inns, pubs, restaurants
and tea rooms for dining out. It is the base for the very popular West Somerset
Steam Railway running between the Sea front and Bishop's Lydiard close to
Taunton. On the sea front visitors can choose between attractive old "Quay
Town" with its working harbour and miles of sandy shoreline stretching to
Dunster Beach and Blue Anchor Bay. .
From
the harbour in summer, scheduled excursions on the historic ships
"Waverley" and "Balmoral" leave for Wales, the Exmoor coast
and Lundy island. Minehead has a first rate golf links as well as riding stables
and sea and fresh water fishing. In the surrounding countryside there are many
places to visit including medieval Dunster with its centuries old castle,
Porlock and the picturesque villages of Selworthy, Allerford, Bossington and
others on the National Trust's Holnicote Estate.
A little further afield is the county boundary with North Devon and the fascinating coastal towns of Lynton and Lynmouth. In fact our visitors have been returning to Minehead as their holiday base for years and have still not completely explored the attractions of the area!
Breakfast is an important part of our guest's stay!
So why not start the day with a fresh fruit-salad, local muesli, cereal or porridge with caramelised banana. Followed by full english - bacon, sausage, mushrooms,tomatoes and eggs or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon or omelette with mushrooms/cheese or kipperfillets Finish with white/brown toast, toasted fruitbread and croissants Coffee (decaffinated) tea (green or fruit)?
We are so proud of our garden poised right on the edge of the Exmoor
National Park, sheltered from the westerly winds overlooking Minehead, the
West Somerset Coastline and the Quantock Hills! A peaceful place to stroll
or relax and find the time and space to breathe the scents of the flowers
and clear your mind for a while of the daily work and worries we all should
leave behind us when we are on holiday!
