  • About the property

    One of three properties in the collection, Thatch Corner has been designed with warmth and comfort in mind which is seamlessly shown through the strong attention to detail in every room. Enjoy a spacious living room with a wood-burning stove, a well-equipped country-style kitchen and four delightful en-suite bedrooms. Meanwhile, the private garden is complete with a luxurious hot tub for those relaxing evenings in. Should you wish to explore the area, Minehead Beach is a 15-minute walk away for fun days out at any time of year or scenic strolls with your four-legged friend (excluding summer months).

    If you love the sound of this place but need more bedrooms, the cottage can be booked as a combination of two or a collection of three with Exmoor Barn and Sweet Shop Cottage via our Guest Services team.

  • The space

    Step inside this charming, thatched cottage, complete with exposed wooden beams, leaded windows and stunning antiques.

    The property offers maximum space to socialise and entertain with its large living room, comprising two three-seater sofas, two comfortable armchairs and plus window seats. Relax here with a good book in hand, or switch on the Smart TV and browse through Netflix or Sky in front of the warming wood-burning stove.

    Meanwhile, the country-style kitchen provides all you will need to prepare delicious feasts to enjoy together. You will have access to a gas range-style cooker, microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster, and Nespresso coffee machine, plus a six-seater table where you can savour a morning coffee or plan your next adventure. For a more formal affair, there is a separate dining room which overlooks the delightful garden.

    There is also a small WC and a utility room with a washing machine, tumble dryer and an additional fridge/freezer.

    There are four beautiful bedrooms, each equipped with premium soft furnishings and an en-suite shower room. On the ground floor, there is a super king bedroom (which can be formed into twin beds if required) and on the first floor, there are two king-sized bedrooms and a cosy double bedroom.
    Outside, you will have access to a large enclosed private garden which has been landscaped to perfection. With two tables there is ample space to sit and relax or to dine al fresco, while the luxurious hot tub has its own changing room and views of the church. You can also relax like royalty in the ‘Coronation Room’, perfect for bird watching with a coffee.

Local Info

The neighbourhood

The cottage is perfectly placed in the stunning old or ‘higher’ town of Minehead and within walking distance of a selection of pubs and restaurants. For a day at the seaside, head to Minehead Beach which is about 5 minutes away by car or 15 minutes on foot.

Exmoor National Park sits across the borders of Somerset and North Devon. Exmoor itself is a little-known national park, which means it is rarely crowded, even in the summer. It offers a huge variety of landscapes and sights, from picturesque villages, rugged coastlines and moors to stately castles and fossil-filled beaches. If you are feeling energetic, take a walk from Porlock Weir to England’s smallest church at Culbone, or trek up to the summit of Dunkery Beacon, the highest point on Exmoor. From both points, you can enjoy amazing, far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside and the dramatic coastline of the Bristol Channel.

If you are looking for a little bit more life, the charming village of Dunster with its medieval heritage, winding cobbled streets and thatched cottages is just a 10-minute drive – or a lovely coastal walk. There are plenty of shops, tea rooms and galleries to peruse on the historical high street. Sitting above the village, Dunster Castle is owned by the National Trust, and a trip will include an interesting country home with a subtropical garden and a working watermill set in gorgeous countryside. There are also numerous organised events throughout the year including archery, plays and Easter egg hunts.

Other attractions in the area include the West Somerset Steam Railway and the iconic water-powered cliff railway that connects the fishing village of Lynmouth and the Victorian village of Lynton perched 500 feet above.
Not too far from Lynton is the Valley of Rocks which can be accessed on a lovely walk incorporating the South West Coast Path.

Getting around

A car is recommended for travelling to the property and ease of getting around. There is roadside parking 50 yards away.

Guests will receive a free copy of ‘The Little Book of Walks’ which has 12 Exmoor-based walks, plus recommendations of places to visit and where to eat.
