  Had an excellent week in this apartment and would be happy to return.

  Good points, in no particular order: location on a residential road just a couple of mins walk to sea and shops, parking space right outside the flat, clean, light and spacious, good wifi, comfy bed, plenty of hot water, good shower, kitchen cupboards that actually had space for food! Points to note, not criticisms, but just tips for your stay: kitchen is reasonably well equipped but lacks a few things that some properties have, so think about taking your own - we always take a 'just-in-case' kit, and this time needed the cling-film, foil, kitchen roll, corkscrew, all condiments and cooking staples, extra tea-towel. However, with eating places on the doorstep we really didn't cook very much. Also apart from a hotel-style tray with tea, coffee and little milk cartons, there's no welcome pack so take your own milk, or be prepared to do a quick shop on arrival - Morrisons, Lidl & Tesco less than 5 mins drive, Co-op 5 mins walk. The front door to the communal lobby is a bit noisy if people leave it to slam, but can't say that it particularly bothered us, with only 12 flats in the block there wasn't too much coming or going. Seagulls were noisier! The sash windows are a bit stiff and could do with a bit of maintenance, but they're workable; not sure if there was any limit to the opening aperture, but we just left them open and didn't have any problems. All in all we had a great week and would recommend this flat. Minehead is a good location for exploring this part of Somerset, the scenery along the coast is fantastic and there are a lot of excellent walks to be had. Best recommendation: take the Exmoor Coaster bus to Lynmouth, sit upstairs, take in the amazing views, and with two 1 in 4 hills along the way sitting at the front is not for the faint-hearted!

  Perfect location and very quiet.

  Beautiful views from the living room and balcony. Lovely to wake up to the sounds of waves and to watch sun rise over the sea. Was met on arrival by friendly host and shown where to go. Off road parking was useful as on street parking does get busy. Charming double bedroom. Comfortable flat with some homely features but there were a few snagging issues that stop me giving more stars.  The symbols on the oven have worn off, oven was smokey and the large gas hob was temperamental to light.  Information book could have had more information (ie Wi-Fi details, although these were provided on request). No cleaning products or welcome pack. Some aspects looking a little shabby ie. bath, curtains in twin room.

  This is a lovely apartment, very spacious and well furnished.

  The location is beautiful - very quiet, with a wonderful outlook over garden and trees to the hills beyond. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and even with the covid-19 restrictions, we had everything we could need for a comfortable weekend. There is excellent walking within a very short distance, on the coast, in the Quantocks and on Exmoor. An ideal retreat for these difficult times - we hope to visit again.(The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for comfort is that I think perhaps the radiators need bleeding - on two of our three nights they were pretty well cold, though as there was also a very good electric heater, this wasn't a serious problem. Please don't publish this bit!)

  We had a very enjoyable stay at Fig Trees, Wibble Farm and we loved the Somerset scenery.

  The apartment was everything we expected, wonderfully spacious for two people and very peaceful. However, our stay was somewhat spoiled by the mattress being extremely soft and squidgy. This led to poor sleep quality as any movement was very uncomfortable and disturbing (we are not heavy people). One of us ended up sleeping on the sofa most nights, which was a huge disappointment. Fortunately the sofa was comfortable and we did not mention this to the owners as they would not have been able to correct the problem during our stay. Despite this we enjoyed our week and every other aspect of the apartment was good.

  I loved my short stay at The Outlook.

  It is cosy, stylish and generous in all it offers. The views are lovely and I was lucky enough to enjoy both sun rises and sunsets! Dogs are generously provided for and my furry companion had a good time. I felt welcomed and cared for in every way. My only disappointment was the Bath! I don’t have one at home and I was looking forward to a wallow. It was slow to fill and difficult to get the temperature just right. This small disappointment didn’t impinge on my very real appreciation and enjoyment of my stay. Thank you so much Liz and Andy. I shall recommend the Outlook to all my friends.
