“Loved the location.”

Furniture wasn't as shown in photos - leather 3-seater and 1 armchair. Food down creases of sofa so had to vacuum it.

“A really comfortable, roomy apartment .”

Very close to all facilities and brilliant sea views. Great to have a parking space.

“Not a negative, but for a short person, a lower mirror in the bedroom for hair drying would have been helpful.”

Parking statement is a little confusing but we received a swift response when clarification was needed from owners. Minehead also perfect for eating, drinking, walking and scenic views. Exmoor and other picturesque villages and towns within easy driving distances.

We like to visit new places as often as possible and our first time in Minehead has definitely been made more enjoyable by this stunning apartment. Beautiful features, modern with some original features very light and airy and best of all a balcony well positioned to enjoy the sea views. Our first night we left the windows open and fell asleep to the sound of crashing waves, also a joy to wake up to! Would recommend Kittiwake to anyone thinking of visiting Minehead The only slight negative is the noisy neighbours the sound proofing could be a little better but for the sake of a week in beautiful surroundings we can definitely live with it!!

First the positives -Kittiwake is a spacious apartment with some lovely features. It appears to be managed well and was spotlessly clean on our arrival . The pretty flowers and pint of milk in the fridge were much appreciated. It has the benefit of sea views and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony and looking out to sea. The apartment looked better internally than the photos in the advert and appears to have recently been redecorated and new leather sofas purchased. Some of the neighbours were a little noisy , particularly late at night and early morning , but this did not escalate into a major problem. However, in our opinion, Minehead as a resort is pretty dire. It was akin to 'the land that time forgot' and for the most part seems to cater for the guests at the Holiday camp when they venture out . Minehead's saving grace is the steam railway, which enabled us to leave this grotty resort without having to drive. We went in to town on our first evening at 6.30pm and a young man and woman, both drunk,were openly fighting in the street - and there were lots of other drunks in the immediate vicinity and outside the bars . The better end of the resort is certainly towards the harbour. We ended up spending most of our holiday in North Devon and just using the apartment as a base to sleep, which was not our original intention. It's a shame really because the apartment was so nice . If it was in a different resort we would have no hesitation in staying there again - however we have no desire to ever visit Minehead again. The apartment deserves the 4 stars we have awarded it but wish to make clear that the rating is for the apartment and most certainly not for this drab, tired resort .

Fantastic apartment, clean, bright and spacious. Very close to shops/pubs etc and overlooking the bay itself. Parking was easy (even in August) and everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kittiwake to friends and family.

The property

This is a light and bright apartment, within a large Victorian house, overlooking the beach and seafront in the popular Somerset resort town of Minehead.

Located in a quiet street off the esplanade, just a short walk from the beach, the apartment provides a lovely sunny holiday home by the beach with sea views from most rooms.

Set all on the first floor, the open plan living area has doors to the balcony, where guests can sit and gaze out across the stunning view of the bay.

The two bedrooms are light and airy with the master king-size bedroom having a Victorian fireplace and large curved bay window with excellent sea views, plus the twin room has a door opening to a balcony.

Why not stroll along the seafront at Minehead or take a walk along the cliffs, where there are gorgeous views across the Bristol Channel.

Take a visit to the medieval village of Dunster where the castle dominates the skyline, or enjoy a steam train ride along the coast to the little harbour village of Watchet on the West Somerset Railway.

Head inland to the beautiful landscape of the Exmoor National Park with its abundance of deer, birds and gentle rivers bubbling through the valleys; where walkers of all abilities will find trails to discover the superb countryside.

This apartment is in a superb, quiet location with stunning sea views.

About the location

MINEHEAD

Taunton 24 miles; Bridgwater 27 miles.

The popular seaside resort of Minehead occupies a wonderful sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the lovely West Somerset Coast. This welcoming town boasts a mile long esplanade, providing a wonderful backdrop to the golden beach, whilst the pretty harbour, visited in the summer by the famous paddle steamer Waverley, offers excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy a nostalgic steam train journey from the seafront on the West Somerset Railway, or visit Blenheim Gardens, winner of many awards for its beautiful floral displays. Renowned for the largest herd of red deer in England, Exmoor National Park with its wooded valleys, pretty bridlepaths and heather clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.
