Lovely setting,nice apartment,all the facilities you could want only negative we found was the bed was very uncomfortable,
Mr Fanthorpe August 2019

“Lovely accommodation in a great area, everything as described.”

Would definitely stay again.
Mr Stanley August 2019

“Nice small cottage, with friendly neighbours.”

Nicely situated for walks in the area. One down side was the bed.
Mr Franchetti March 2019

“Nice compact accommodation.”

Ideal for a couple. One minor point is that the path from the car parking area to the cottage gate is poorly lit. Would stop here again
Mr Edwards March 2019

“The cottage is quite cosy and compact and finished to a high standard, and the dining table is in the attached conservatory which is in a sunny position on the end of the cottage (it has fecently been renewed -lovely).”

The cottage in on the ground floor with a separate apartment above. Lovely smallish garden with BBQ and the bonus of also a lovely separate garden area of about an acre which is used jointly by the six families that live occupy the site.
Mrs Parrish October 2018

“This is an old stable and grooms quarters which have been converted into apartments.”

The accommodation has been well thought out and tastefully decorated with a lovely private garden. There are also communal gardens to enjoy. There is underfloor heating and electric fire which makes it cosy on cool nights and the shower is nice and hot but isn’t particularly powerful. We thought it would be a good idea to put some more coat hooks in the conservatory area for wet dripping coats. There was black mould on the wall around the window and next to the bed which was a bit off putting. Bearing in mind the nature and age of the building it’s not surprising but not what you want when you’re paying for a holiday. The location is perfect for coastal walks and Blue Anchor beach is an easy walk across the well marked paths through Binham Grange. We walked to Minehead from here along the coastal path and caught the train back to Blue Anchor. The walk to Minehead took about 2 1/4 hours but check tide times first. Overall we enjoyed our accommodation and had a lovely break.
Mr Gadd September 2018

“The owner has applied for permission to replace the ageing conservatory at this listed building this winter.”
Mr Griffith September 2018

“Urgently needs a new mattress on the bed!”

- very lumpy! Bathroom door very noisy and difficult to close - could be easily adjusted! Otherwise, lovely little apartment in beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed the peace and quiet.
Mrs Chester September 2018

“We spent an enjoyable week at the Garden Room, it was very comfortable and ideal for dog owners with an enclosed garden and large communal garden which we were able to use.”

A mile’s walk across the fields leads to Blue Anchor beach where dogs ate allowed all year round. If we decide to go back to the same area we will book the apartment again.
Mr Belben July 2018

“A lovely location, wonderful for dogs.”

However very disappointed as the property and garden has been neglected. Accommodation in need of a good clean and the garden is overgrown with weeds. This property does not deserve a 4 star rating.. .
Mrs Wheeler July 2018

“I think that our contact Dawn would do well to carry out a spot check on the housekeeper for this property.”

On first glance it all seemed very nice and clean - however having dropped something that rolled under the bed I was horrified. The amount of dust and cobwebs was just awful and not the result of one weeks missed cleaning. We had a leak in the bathroom that was sorted the next day - thanks. But in the process of mopping the floor I was again horrified - the floor was just filthy. The flat was good and my little Border Terrier just loved her own garden and the oppertunity to explore the large garden next door. Would we come back - no. Would we book again with Sykes - probably.
Mrs Aston June 2018

“A really lovely little apartment in a very quiet location with the most beautiful communal gardens & a private walled garden.”

The facilities were extremely good, the neighbours pleasant and informative. Highly recommended for a relaxing break.
Mr Warburton May 2018

“Wonderful holiday, perfect surroundings, flat is lovely, the dog could run around the garden without us worrying about her getting out, neighbours friendly, altogether lovely.”
Ms Jobson May 2018

“Broken bed.”

Caretaker had a look about Wednesday but as the slats had been damaged and were distorted there was nothing he could do to remedy the problem. I was just about able to sleep in the bed by resting on the middle bar. It was impossible for me and partner to sleep in the bed. He had to go home after one night as we were unable to sleep in the bed together. I would have moved out but having 2 dogs on my own this is not a simple task and I haven’t had a holiday for 4 years.

I can only apologise that you felt the bed was uncomfortable and the slats had bent the wrong way - they are now all bending in the correct direction and the bed is again as it should be. I am also sorry that your partner wasn't able to stay past the weekend but pleased that you were able to enjoy the property and local area for the duration of your holiday. Sykes owner relations

About the location

BLUE ANCHOR

Dunster 3 miles; Lynton 9 miles; Weston-Super-Mare 43 miles.

Blue Anchor is a small coastal hamlet in west Somerset, three miles from medieval Dunster. Well known for its alabaster rocks, which are of great geological interest, Blue Anchor is a quiet and peaceful seaside location with a wide beach, plentiful fossils and a promenade three quarters of a mile long with scenic views of Dunster Castle and Minehead Bay beyond. It offers peaceful relaxation, is popular with anglers who fish off the promenade, and is just a short steam train ride on the West Somerset Railway from Minehead. The Blue Anchor station waiting room and booking office have been lovingly restored, using Great Western fittings, many of them original, and the Railway Museum is housed in the former waiting room. Walk along the beach from Blue Anchor to Dunster, enjoying the views across the channel towards Wales, and wander through the medieval streets with the beautiful castle towering above. Inside the castle are fine plasterwork ceilings, while the extensive terraced and landscaped gardens contain many rare shrubs and trees, and offer marvellous views out to sea. Further afield, Minehead has golden sandy beaches, seaside attractions, and plenty of cafes, shops and bistros.
