This is a gem of a cottage, spotlessly clean and well located for either a walk up to North hill or along the sea front. Whatever you decide there are plenty of places to eat and drink along the way.
Great comms with the host too

Beautiful calming cottage, everything you needed is there too. Perfect… but the hills to and from town are a challenge !!

An ideal home to explore all that Minehead offers. The cottage is cosy and welcoming, and the local neighbourhood is worth meandering through. Highly recommended.

Spacious property with great views and nice garden in a quiet area. Would have been great if there was a welcome pack to make a tea or coffee on arrival.

We have had a fantastic stay in this beautiful cottage in Minehead. We can wholeheartedly recommend this cottage to spend a nice time in Minehead. The area is great: on the hill on top of Minehead which is a nice town with a huge beach. Exmoor generally is impressive, beautiful nature, great walks around. Don’t miss The Valley of rocks and Bossington. So: 5 stars!

We had an enjoyable stay at 1 The Cross. Property very clean, well equipped and with a small private garden. Unfortunately weather was not good but we still managed to visit various local attractions. Town is a short steep downhill walk away but alternatively there are lot of Pay & Display parking spaces available.

5.0
The Cottage was delightful, comfortable, clean, & well equiped. Great for dogs too with a small garden.
Slight problem with the location though. Nowhere in the adverting did it say that though it was a shortish walk to the Beach & Shops, the Cottage area was on a steep slope, so unsuitable for Asthmatics, Disabled or Elderly. We just managed!!!

A beautiful cottage, plenty of living space, with a lovely little back garden. Parking is on street but generally found a space quite close. The property can get a bit cold so pack some slippers and make use of the log burner!
On the whole a lovely property with everything you need.

This is our second stay at The Cross and most certainly won’t be our last. This cottage is a real gem and has everything you could wish for in a holiday rental. Thank you Verity for hosting us again.

Lovely cosy cottage. Very clean and well maintained. Perfect location for Minehead and local walks. Excellent attention to detail.

The property was as advertised - very clean and well equipped (just lacked oven gloves). Comfortable bed (bedding could be better quality but was clean). Really appreciated the central heating as weather wasn't very good. Lovely garden with patio area and seating. Parking could be an issue for people with walking difficulties. Its on road parking and we had to park quite a bit down the road as space opposite the house was in constant use by others. Would visit again.

Really lovely little cottage, in a pretty, quiet, old neighbourhood on the outskirts of Minehead. The cottage is very clean, beautifully decorated and very well-appointed. Dog-friendly with a safe, enclosed garden. A dog towel was provided, which was a very thoughtful touch, although we brought our own.
Great location, being a 10 minute walk to the seafront or town centre, or a very short drive to endless walks on Exmoor.
We particularly enjoyed our early morning dog walk along Church Lane to woodland.
A great base to explore Exmoor. Highly recommended!

Amazing property, extremely clean, well laid out and lovely!

Lovely characterful cottage. Owner leaves lots of literature and is always available for issues that may arise. Ideal for walking the hills but, be wary, property is a long way up North Hill so you need to be relatively fit to walk to town and surrounding areas and back ! ( otherwise take the car). Minehead has lots of facilities and amenities , really love it there!

We have just returned after a short break and would definitely recommend a stay here. The cottage was immaculate and full of character. It was very well equipped and was an ideal base to explore the stunning Exmoor countryside. We hope to return again soon. Many thanks!

The cottage was very well presented in a great location. Everything you need is supplied. This cottage is very comfortable with a nice wood burner plenty of comfortable seating. There are great views from the back garden. Cottage is at the top of a hill with great views and even a sea view at an angle from the master bedroom.

all was perfect thanks

The cottage had everything we needed.
The location was divine and dispite the weather we had a lovely time. The garden was lovely and we can imagine in the warmer weather we would have enjoyed the use of outdoor space.
The log fire was perfect and the property warm and cosy.
The availability of stair gates was a super addition. We personally dont like our dog upstairs so we were able to ensure this rule still applied on our holiday.
The short walk into town and to the beach was great amd our daughter and dog throughly enjoyed this.
This was a great find for us and we hope to enjoy many more holidays here in the future.

The description of Cosy Cottage was perfect - an ideal small cottage, fully equipped. The only downside was that the stairs are VERY narrow and steep, and if it was possible a handrail on two sides might help. We both struggled and were very wary of going up and down, and we are very able-bodied! The hilly walk up and down into the town was as described, but you really do have to take that on board. Nothing we could say though as it had been pointed out to us in the advert. We only did it once, because we were unable to park when we arrived so once we managed to do so we were wary of losing that space - so chose to walk!!

Excellent, perfect for our stay in Minehead. Lovely walks not far away lovely for our little dog, and good us too.🙂 Thought parking was going to be difficult as no parking at property, however we managed to find street parking just a few yards from cottage. We had members of the family visit for Birthday tea one afternoon, and they all commented on how lovely the cottage was.
Lovely stay, thankyou Verity
