Brilliant will deffo stay there again soon with my kids! 💜💪🏼
Pros:

Very welcoming easy to find local to everything we needed

Cons:

It felt like it was over staffed at times (didn’t realise at the time it was a training hotel we wasn’t made aware of this at all) not much to have for continental breakfast but the cooked breakfast was beautiful! More information about what’s near by would have been great.

Will definitely re book
Pros:

Very polite and kind staff to me and my dog, my dog got a free sausage every morning for his breakfast. The breakfast was great every morning with out fail. The location was great. Close to the sea front for walks in the morning and also in the other direction was minehead high street which had all the food places and shops you needed.

Cons:

The bedside counters were a tad dusty but nothing major.

The Hotel reflected the underfunded tired seaside town, with intoxicated men huddled along the seafront.
Pros:

The property was welcoming and friendly

Cons:

The locks on the room were loose and not secure.
There was no adequate secure parking
The stairs were inadequate for our pram
The stairs were not conducive to carry luggage up 2 flights.

very enjoyable and relaxing
Pros:

All the staff we met were friendly and amenable
The view from our room, over the heritage railway station, the beach and sea, off into empty skies.
The breakfasts were great, with varied options
The hotel had a relaxing environment (obviously the staff were working hard to ensure that)

Cons:

It wasn't a dislike, but in the interest of the review, a dripping shower that others had moaned about. However, this was easily resolved by adjusting the selection lever on the tap, to allow the drip to leave the tap and not the showerhead
