The convenient location means Minehead town centre and its sandy beach are within walking distance and the dramatic coast and moorland countryside is all a short drive away. Minehead railway station is in walking distance, so guests can sit back and enjoy a journey through the Exmoor countryside on the West Somerset Vintage Steam Railway. There is superb scenery and walking on the South West Coastal Path or inland on the moors, and many places to visit to make a memorable holiday. A trip to the Victorian villages of Lynmouth and Lynton, famous for the Watersmeet Gorge, National Trust, the Valley of Rocks and the funicular cliff railway are all highly recommended. Looking towards Minehead there is the promenade to enjoy a walk and an ice cream, as well as a good array of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants and other amenities. A visit to the enchanting medieval Dunster Castle (National Trust), with its beautiful terraced gardens, deer park and working watermill will make for an interesting day out. Porlock village and Weir hold plenty of charm and interest , including local oysters in season. Beach within 1 mile. Shops, pub and restaurant 800 yards.
