First Wetherspoon hotel I’ve ever stayed in and I wasn’t expecting a lot.
I was pleasantly surprised.
For the price paid, it was brilliant and who doesn’t like a spoons breakfast to get the day started!

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.
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.
Staff: brilliant, very helpful
Location: literally a 2 min walk from the sea front and central to amenities.
Room: it was a fab sized room for us (me, a 13 year old and a 3 year old). The room was absolutely spotless and not cramped like some hotels. I couldn't fault it. If you are visiting Minehead, and need a hotel, put this at the top of your list. The breakfasts were amazing (ask for toast and you literally get the biggest slices of bread I have ever seen). Great for kids too.
Nice location, a staff member (duty manager) sorry forgot his name, made sure he got a special fire alarm device to install in my room for my safety. It is very rare this happens so this is commended. I hope this practice is standard across the JDW hotels and the convenience of popping downstairs for evening meal and drink was just a bonus as I had a long day before arriving in Minehead
The building was fascinating and our room wonderfully spacious. Breakfast was good, and we ate there two evenings and really enjoyed. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the pair of Great Dane 'guard' dogs were a real joy. We were there to visit the West Somerset Railway and it was a real bonus having a station a short drive from the hotel.
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.
The room and ensuite were both very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding clean and crisp. It was great to be able to make a cup of tea in the room in the morning. It was very quiet and peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We felt very comfortable having our dog with us in this hotel.
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.
A good sized property, with well proportioned rooms. Reall nicely maintained and clean. Well-equipped kitchen and nicely set out bedrooms. Great ot have a good sized dining table, as well as a separate comfy living room. Nicely convenient location for the centre of town and the beach.
The Beach Hotel was fantastic , so enjoyable and so relaxing. Our full English Breakfast was excellent and delicious. We found the Staff so welcoming and friendly. We would definitely come back again and tell our friends and family this is first class .
The location and view were spectacular. I could see and hear the ocean from the cabin, and had easy walking access to the South West Coast Path as well as the town of Minehead. The space itself was comfortable and charming. An amazing place to stay!
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!
The room was extremely clean, spacious and nicely decorated. Location was ideal for the seafront and town centre. Owner very friendly and checked in on us to see if everything was ok.
