Guests say
The Outlook in Minehead is highly praised for its cleanliness, stunning views, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the thoughtful touches, including a welcome basket with fresh eggs and provisions for dogs. The location is ideal for exploring the area, though access may be challenging for those with mobility issues due to stairs and a hillside setting.
Reviewers consistently mention the cleanliness of the apartment, describing it as spotless and well-maintained, which indicates a high standard of hygiene.
The property's location is frequently praised for its lovely views and proximity to local attractions. However, some guests note the hillside position and stairs may not be suitable for everyone.
Guests find the apartment very comfortable, particularly highlighting the quality of the furnishings and the cosy atmosphere. The only minor issue raised was difficulty with bath temperature control.
The facilities are generally lauded, with special mentions of the well-equipped kitchen and the provision for dogs. There is a single mention of a bath that was slow to fill, which slightly impacts the score.
The hosts' thoughtfulness is evident in the welcome basket, fresh eggs, and dog amenities. While these gestures are greatly appreciated, it should be noted that such personal touches, though likely, are not guaranteed for every stay.

On the gorgeous West Somerset Coast, the well-liked beach town of Minehead is located in a wonderful, sheltered area beneath the magnificent North Hill. This friendly town has a mile-long esplanade that beautifully frames the golden beach, and the charming harbour, which is frequented in the summer by the renowned paddle steamer Waverley, provides good fishing chances. The West Somerset Railway offers historic steam train rides from the seashore. You may also visit Blenheim Gardens, which has won numerous prizes for its exquisite floral displays. Exmoor National Park, known for having the largest herd of red deer in England, is well worth a visit, as is the magnificent Norman Castle at Dunster, which is close. It also has wooded valleys, charming bridlepaths, and heather-covered moors.

We had an amazing week in this beautiful apartment. The Outlook had everything we and our dog needed. The extra touches were much appreciated, dog bed/dog towelsâ¦welcome pack, especially the freshly laid eggs from the chickens and ducks we could see from the kitchen window! We hardly used the car as it was an easy walk to the beach and there were plenty of walks whether it be by the sea or more inland walks. Liz and Andrew have done a fabulous job, cannot thank them enoughâ¦looking forward to returning.

The hill and stairs would make it difficult for those with walking difficulties, but otherwise it offers a great outlook to the sea/Bristol channel estuary. The apartment is very tasteful and comfortable with everything you may need make your stay

The owners had thought of just about everything you might need on a holiday, from lots of maps and information leaflets, to spare toiletries and the delicious goodies in the welcome pack, especially the fresh eggs. The property is in a great, quiet location on the outskirts of Minehead, but is within walking distance of the town centre and beach as well as supermarkets and bus stops and local shops. We were so glad we had chosen to stay at The Outlook.
