The Willows

About this property

The Willows is a detached property set between Minehead and Blue Anchor on the North Somerset Coastline, with Exmoor National Park as its backdrop. With a gated, secure driveway for convenient parking, an open-plan kitchen and dining space and a living room with access through the French doors into the enclosed garden, this pet-friendly retreat offers a relaxing getaway for families and friends. The kitchen and dining area provide plenty of space for the whole family to come together and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal, plan your next adventure, or just enjoy some friendly conversation. Or settle into the sitting room and catch up with your viewing on the television whilst younger members of your group take advantage of the secure back garden to burn off their energy. There is a handy utility room with a washing machine and dryer to keep on top of the laundry. With five bedrooms to choose from, everyone will have their own space to relax and recharge. In the king-size bedroom with en-suite, freshen up in the convenient shower room before settling down to catch your rest under the crisp, fresh linen on the bed. A further three double bedrooms share the family bathroom comprising a bath, shower cubicle, toilet and basin, welcoming a freshen-up and some rest after an adventurous day. There is also a convenient ground floor single room with a cloakroom nearby, for those who don’t like to share. If you can tear yourselves away from your holiday home, take advantage of the wide array of local attractions whether it’s a trip on the steam railway to visit the pretty village of Watchet with its marina, shops and cafes or an adventure to Dunster Beach and village with its own castle. Discover the old settlement remains at Bats Castle, the highest point on Gallox Hill. If you still have the need to explore, why not take to the hills above Carhampton village on the walking or mountain bike routes that guide you through the woodland and open moor areas? There is a new cycle path to Minehead, making it a safe route for all. Just a short drive away there is Exmoor National Park, with the chance to spot the wild ponies and deer or carry on to the tourist hotspots of Lynton and Lynmouth with the amazing cliff railway. The Willows is in a superb location to offer a wealth of attractions to suit all ages making this an all-year-round holiday home where you can’t fail to relax and enjoy yourself whatever the occasion.

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. Renowned for the largest herd of red deer in England, Exmoor National Park with its wooded valleys, pretty bridlepaths and heather clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.
