  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.

  Excellent stay at The Retreat, lovely big comfy bed, very clean, hot tub was fab (someone else commented on hooks for dressing gowns, they are in place now).

  Milk, apple juice and delicious lemon drizzle cake was a nice touch. We had everything we needed. Communication with owner was fab. We did have a problem with the heating, but the fire in the lounge warms the place very quickly, and there is a heater in the bedroom as well, which again, warms the place quickly. Apart from the towel rail in the bathroom the radiators are not really needed anyway. Yes, there is noise from the main road, but it didn't really bother us (& we've in a cul-de-sac at home). I would not advise walking to the pub, too dangerous. And yes, the TV is too high on the wall, but again, didn't spoil our stay. Would recommend based on cleanliness, comfort, hot tub and location (plenty of places to visit within 1 hours drive).

  This was our second stay here as we love this part of the country.

  Lovely welcome pack especially the fresh milk. The cottage is great value for money. The hot tub was great but it was still in need of hooks nearer to it for our robes for when you get out on a chilly night. The cottage needs a bit of a spruce up especially the bathroom, there is no shelf to put a toothbrush etc. But the bed is amazing and really comfortable but limited space to store our clothes. The traffic noise is drowned out by the noise of the tub, so didn't bother us. Unfortunately, the road is too busy to walk on so no way you can go to the pub or restaurant in the village on foot. Lots of places to visit near by especially the castle at Dunster. Would recommend as a base to stay and for the hot tub!

  One-up one-down, separate end of barn conversion with hot tub in small enclosed courtyard.

  Very good electrical heating downstairs and upstairs. Spacious bedroom with king-size bed. Bathroom has sloping roof over the toilet so tall people beware. Clean, comfortable, but niggles. No instructions how to operate cooker, coffee machine, washing machine, wall heater (never seen one like that before!). Wall clock had dead battery so it was right only twice per day. Rusted battery in remote for the radio. Overall impression is that it is well used but lacked attention in minor details. Helpful owner and their friends. Near a road so some traffic noise. New building site behind, again some noise. However, recommend it for a holiday.

  4th Visit to Sea Spray.

  Again had a fabulous time. Weather was great. Had a very chilled week. But we managed the market on the Esplanade, trip to Blue Anchor for coffee, cake and walks along the beech. Sunrise, sunsets just amazing. Bbq with the family on the terrace. Comfortable beds. We are lucky to still have our lab at 10yrs old and she lives her best life in the rock pools. ( Hobbled home tho) Only one thing to moan about, main oven isn't working so needs a look at. Not a biggie because we used top oven. But most of the time just 2 of us. Maybe a bigger family might not feel the same. Loved it tho. And we will be back I'm sure for our 5th visit.
