  It is a nice little cottage and cosy.

  It was a shame that the fireplace and bread oven don't have some form of lighting, as the room was quite dark, even with the wall lights. The neighbours were very pleasant and the people in and around the village are very nice. There were one or two little issues. Although the owner had said that there was a problem with the plugs in the sink and basin, I found no problem with the sink, but when I put water into the basin in the bathroom and had pushed the plug down, I was constantly chasing the water down the plug hole, so you either had to keep the hot and cold tap running all the time you were washing, or fill the basin right up and wash before the water ran out. I felt this issue could have been solved by a new rubber ring on the plug, possibly. The shower seemed to be a bit stop start and luckily I was only washing my hair. it was almost like an air lock in the system. The back gate was getting more difficult to get in and out of, as it has either dropped or the latch doesn't fit properly. Make sure you take throws with you for the sofa and chair, whether you are taking dog/dogs or not, I am glad I took mine, as the sofa and chairs were a little marked in places as is the cushion on the window seat. More informative leaflets on places to go, walks, etc would be nice. The one telephone number missing in the welcome pack is the local Vets in case of emergency. Also an idea of where the nearest Supermarkets are would have been nice. Other than that, as I say it was nice and cosy and fairly quiet, but the lane was a little busy with traffic on occasions as it's the only access road to and from Kilve beach.

  This house is basic, grubby and overpriced.

  There is a water stain on the ceiling with paper hanging down, black mould round some of the door and window frames, kitchen chair seats are dirty, mugs are tea stained, cushion covers are soiled and marked, the pillows on the beds are stained brown and need throwing away, the duvet is stained with blood, the bin area has tea drips on the cupboard and bin, the walls are marked, the carpets are dirty and the heated towel rail hasn’t seen a cloth for a long time. A used plaster needs removing from the bedroom radiator. Even the information file had grubby finger marks on it! We couldn’t clean anything even if we wanted to as no materials were provided - at least a bottle of loo cleaner is surely a basic requirement! There are no shelves in the bathroom for toothbrushes, shaving gear etc and there isn’t an airer or line (retractable for the courtyard £5 from Wilko, Dunelm etc). Towels got wet, we got wet in the rain, nowhere to hang anything. Owing to the small courtyard with its very high walls little daylight came into the lounge area so we had the lights on most of the time. A couple of lamps would have helped and given the place a bit of atmosphere, and a rug in front of the sofas would also have made it a little more ‘cosy’. Oh, and ten minutes spent weeding the small courtyard would have made it a slightly more inviting. Some of these things could have been reported in the visitors book, but there wasn’t one eg both toilet seats are wobbly and need tightening up. I’m afraid we shall not be returning.

  My husband and I went here for 5 nights for our honeymoon, it was absolutely spotless, the bed was really big and comfy.

  The hot tub was just enough for 2 people, near to Minehead Beach and a couple of local pubs. Washer/dryer provided, although the dryer is a little temperamental haha. Very low ceilings, my husband did have to crouch to use the toilet and shower. There is some oaf noise but not bad at all, however I don't think we quite understood how close the other cottages were to us, we heard noise from other residents and sharee the car park with them. The maintenance people walked into the hot tub area unannounced a couple of times to test the hot tub, my partner was lounging around half dressed and had to run upstairs the first time, and the second time I was alone in the house with the door open, and a man came in to the garden area, I would like to suggest for future reference that you announce yourselves, knock or inform the Residents before your arrival. Other feedback I would recommend that hooks are put somewhere for you to hang your towels up after shower or hot tub use. The WiFi is a little slow and the smart TV doesn't connect to it, so you are limited to the standard channels, but we used our laptop instead so it's OK. All in all it was a beautiful cottage, well presented, very clean, and just enough for 2 people for a few days.

  We enjoyed our stay at Captains Cottage - a great place to be! Fantastic location very close to the harbour and the water. The street in front of the house is a dead end and therefore quiet.

Fantastic location very close to the harbour and the water. The street in front of the house is a dead end and therefore quiet. Very good starting point for hikes. Either to beaches or to the Exmoor National Park. Plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Super nice landlords. They love their house and you can tell immediately. Thank you for letting us share this. If you like it, there is also a kind of amusement park at the other end of the beach with all the trimmings (but not our thing).

We had a fantastic stay at this lovely cottage, very well equipped with everything you need for your stay. The bathroom and both bedroom are large with plenty of space and lovely window seats in both bedrooms so you can look at what's going on in the harbour. We were very lucky with the weather and managed to make the climb up to the terrace to enjoy the view with a few drinks! The location is very good just across the road from the beach our two dogs loved it !! Hope to return early next year, Andy and Sam Gloucestershire
