Just had an enjoyable February half term week in Minehead.
The location is fantastic for the seafront and high street with nothing ever too far away. The house is much bigger than the pictures make out and it easily fitted in 6 adults, 3 kids and 2 dogs without feeling crampt. The kitchen had plenty of crockery etc. Parking was fine for 3 cars. checkin was easy. Definitely recommend especially for letting the kids have the top floor to enjoy.

Beautiful Edwardian house in a lovely location
Close to Minehead promenade, high street and West Somerset Railway steam train railway station. Ideal for a relaxing week with extended family.
Well-equipped kitchen. Great bedroom layout. Spacious but cozy traditional feel. Perfect garden for an EEH. Field next-door perfect for a kick around.
Lovely walks on Exmoor and the South West Coast path.
Nothing :)

Jolly good!
The fact that there were 2 sitting rooms. The decor was understated but pleasant. The gadgetry all worked in a straightforward way except the symbols on the washing machine were a a bit cryptic!
We were walking so could have done with a bigger utility room. Another loo/bathroom would also have been handy.
Hillview is a lovely comfortable house right in the centre of Minehead. We had a lovely stay with the extended family and everybody had plenty of space. Hillview is a little tired around some of the edges (stair case to name one) and although bathrooms, bedding and towels were all clean the cooker wasn't (with a dirty grill pan left form the previous renters), the floor in and around the cooker not very clean and the rungs of the hob need a good clean. The dishwasher needed salt and the filters hadn't been cleaned so a lot of the crockery and cutlery in the drawers had ingrained food. Also the information in the folders about bin day was very vague and the bins were full to the brim on our arrival. We phoned to check when the bin day was but didn't get a definitive answer resulting in the bins building up during our stay. But none of this affected the enjoyment of our stay. Thank you.
