Fabulous place to stay. Staff wonderful as was the breakfasts. Just one little niggle, the curtains in our room were not lined, so by 5.30 a.m. the room is lit up by the morning sun, and we are wide awake. Would recommend that the hotel gets "black out " lining curtains that fit behind the main curtains. Other than that all excellent.

Beautiful farmhouse B&B set in beautiful gardens for guests to enjoy, with summerhouse, outdoor seating and honesty bar. Room was spacious and very comfortable, with all the amenities you could need, and more. The hosts were very helpful, friendly and accommodating, and choice and quality of breakfast was first class! Would have loved to stay longer!

The setting of the apartment is beautiful, the gardens surrounding the property were breathtaking and we had a lovely stay. When we arrived we noticed that the freezer was not working correctly, my husband reported this to Maureen and whilst we were out that day she had it replaced with a brand new one. Excellent and speedy service which was outstanding in our opinion.

The town has plenty of places to go if you're after a busy night out, but equally there are places where you can go if you want to kick back for the evening and relax.
The Heritage Railway we visited was spot on - it's a great way to see some of the other towns and villages in the local area, and a great way to get about if you want to go for a walk.

The season hadn't got going yet so it was a bit quiet. For us that's OK. Like many towns it seemed to be suffering from the economical downturn. Otherwise it seems to be a friendly place. We found the Duke of Wellington and it was friendly and lively place with reasonably priced meals and beers.
The little steam railway was delightful as was our visits to Lynmouth and Porlock and the Valley of the rocks.

Minehead town centre does have it's 'characters' most of whom frequent the Wetherspoons for obvious reasons. The quay and seafront was lovely in the evening sunshine and we found a fabulous pub called the 'Kildare Lodge Hotel'. Not at all what you would expect, a beautiful 'Arts and Crafts' building with amazing interior plus the bonus of having 3 real ales on tap (they are in the 2024 Good Beer Guide). A visit to Dunster Castle is a must plus a trip on the West Somerset Railway and a walk on Exmoor! Minehead is a good base for all these activities!

Minehead is a very traditional sort of seaside resort, which is perfect if that's what you are looking for. Based mostly around the huge Butlins site and the West Somerset Railway, there's not a great deal else to do, though the surrounding countryside is pretty special. Facilities in town are what you'd expect - some takeaways, simple restaurants, touristy type shops, etc, but it's not somewhere for hard-core shoppers.

We loved the laid back atmosphere. The high street was busy with a diverse variety of shops, restaurants and cafes. The Victorian town is beautiful. Lots of lovely architecture, walks and a beautiful park. Also a nice beach which was a bonus. We would recommend you investigate all the little side streets for hidden gems. Also very dog friendly.

Minehead is a good beach resort and a central starting point for exploring Somerset and particularly Exmoor as a path starts a short walk from the Hotel.
The West Somerset steam railway is the longest standard gauge heritage line at 21 miles taking a full hour each way through pretty well kept stations and is only a short walk along the front the hotel.
Staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. Just a few steps away from the beach, dog friendly at this time of year, the sunrises across the bay were some of the very best I have ever seen. A short walk through the park to the town. Facilities excellent, loved the swimming pool, food was also also excellent, pubs and restaurants within a short distance, although we ate at the hotel for breakfast and dinner, the dogs were spoiled rotten too. Good value for money. I would highly recommend a stay at the Northfield Hotel.
The Waverley is a short walk from the Minehead Railway Station (now home to West Somerset Railway) and bus stop. As travellers using public transport the location is excellent and it is only a short walk to shops, cafes and hotels and the harbour. The breakfast selection is excellent and well presented. Our hosts and their staff were friendly and engaging, always smiling and willing to help in any way. Our room was large enough that we were not cramped, it was clean and comfortable with a matching large ensuite.
Lovely big room with comfortable bed. Very clean. Very friendly and helpful staff nothing too much trouble. Lovely breakfast. We had an evening meal and that was very nice too. Room was a little cold when we arrived so we told the staff and they put an extra heater in for us which made it Lovely and warm. Very close to the Seafront and lots of shops and restaurants around too.We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning
The Duke of Wellington Minehead is an excellent hotel and super value. The staff were friendly and highly competent. Parking on street is available nearby and there are also official sites close by. The hotel in style is broadly of a time gone by with huge rooms. That does NOT detract from its services. Rooms are clean, secure and the breakfast is very good as anyone who uses a Wetherspoons knows.
Greeted by Barry the owner (next door) who made us welcome.
The self-catering apartment was very clean and roomy and included 2 en-suite bedrooms with an additional separate toilet. It has a large unclutered living room/lounge and a well equipped kitchen with dining area.
Short level walk to reach all Minehead attractions.
Good off road parking at the rear of the apartment was always available.
Lovely stay in this hotel which is in a great location on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the town centre. A nice welcome from the owners and some thoughtful touches in the rooms - I really liked the option to have fresh milk for our cups of tea in the room for example! Room was spacious and comfortable. Breakfasts were delicious with lots of choice.
Good location, a short walk from the centre of town and to the seafront. The hotel staff are very friendly and evidently exceptionally competent and committed to doing the best job they possibly can. Room was a little dated but was very spacious and the bed very comfortable. Excellent value for money, especially considering I booked only two days prior to arriving.
We were greeted in the car park on arrival by Mark (owner). He helped with luggage, showed us to our room and checked that had everything we needed.
The location is superb, only a few yards from the seafront.
Although the menu is not extensive the food was tasty, nicely cooked and presented. Pricing is realistic.
Staff were helpful and friendly.
If you like peace & quiet set in tranquil rural Somerset then this is an absolute must. Residing next to a beautiful picturesque stream & ford is a must see. The property reminds me of rural France & Italy. The Pack Horse is in a perfect location for exploring the coastline from Watchet/ Minehead to Ilfracombe in North Devon.
Probably one of the best B&B's I have ever stayed in!. The owners, Sharon & Paul were a delightful couple, very friendly and welcoming and their attention to detail would put a five star hotel to shame and the breakfast was amazing. This accommodation should be a role model for hotel training.
Breakfast was amazing - delicious food, with a large number of choices where you can pick exactly what "Full English" means for you. Lovely dining room, and an amazing location opposite Blenheim Gardens. Walkable to many restaurants, pubs and the seafront.
A well run hotel and pub.
Within walking distance of Exmoor tops and Dunkery Beacon.
Staff friendly and food excellent.
Covid measures excellent
Nice to know you can have a good evening meal rather than be looking around or going into Minehead
This is a wonderful hotel in a perfect location for Minehead and Dunster. The room was comfortable and spacious, really well appointed, and finished impeccably. I had the best nights sleep I’ve had in a while here!
Very well located at the far end of Minehead, ideally placed for starting the SW Coast Path. Quite decent pub, good beer and very substantial breakfast. Easy to park outside and/or nearby when out of season.
This is a gem of a hotel located in wonderfully peaceful surroundings and full of fascinating history. The staff are great and welcoming and the volcanic hot rock chateaubriand was exceptional.
