About this property
Nestling in between the slopes of Exmoor and the sea, this delightfully spacious and well-presented, detached cottage is situated on a quiet road, close to the centre of Minehead and its sea front. A welcoming and homely feel greets you as you enter, with a sitting room either side of the hallway; ideal if the younger members of the family want to have some time to themselves. Follow through to the lovely and well-equipped kitchen with a comfortable dining area, complete with a woodburner for the cooler evenings out of season. A utility room which leads out to the enclosed garden adjoins the kitchen. There is also a shower room just inside the back door, perfect for when the children come off the beach. There are four bedrooms all on the first floor, including a super king-size double, giving flexibility for all the family. With the house being so centrally located, the town and sea front of Minehead are both just a short walk away offering all you would expect of a popular seaside town with a choice of pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Dominated by the wooded slopes of North Hill, the whole area is renowned for its outstanding natural beauty and there are superb walks over dramatic open moorland, through woodland and also along the coast. Whatever time of year you visit, Lily House offers excellent accommodation for a welcome family holiday in a relaxing location.
The popular seaside resort of Minehead occupies a wonderful sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the lovely West Somerset Coast. This welcoming town boasts a mile long esplanade, providing a wonderful backdrop to the golden beach, whilst the pretty harbour, visited in the summer by the famous paddle steamer Waverley, offers excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey from the seafront on the West Somerset Railway, or visit Blenheim Gardens, winner of many awards for its beautiful floral displays.

The furnishings were a bit old fashioned. Large kitchen. Two lounges. The bathrooms could do with a bit of updating. One bathroom was rather on the small side. A good place to visit the area.

The seating area in the garden is so overgrown so we couldnât use it when we had a BBQ. Also there was no milk left in the fridge for when we arrived as stated. Just little things I know but hopefully feed back helps. Also the TV in second bedroom doesnât work â¹ï¸ however it wouldnât stop me from booking Lily House again.

Only thing missing no coat hooks , huge utility room with large empty wall ideal for a row of hooks . Had to hang on chairs , over doors etc luckily not a wet week ! Such a simple thing to make a huge difference Loved Lily house
