Location
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, 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.Inspiration for you
