  • "An excellent place to stay."

    The owner is very helpful and has put a lot of effort into making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. It is easy to find and in a peaceful, quiet setting. We found it just a little too warm at night but didn't contact the owner who would have been only too happy to turn the heating down for us. There is plenty of cupboard and storage space and the beds are comfortable.

    I’m glad you have enjoyed staying in Tús Nua. Thank you for the kind feedback. As you say, I can be contacted to adjust the heating programme up or down if it is not to guests comfort, and the preset temperatures can be adjusted by guests using the up or down controls on the radiators themselves too. It’s great to hear that you found the way the property is equipped useful. Thank you! Property Owner

    Lovely cottage with everything we needed. 2 older people in our party struggled getting up from very soft sofa but not a problem to younger members. Very warm at night even though we turned the heating down. Fantastic play equipment in garden for our 5 year old. In nice area central to places of interest

    Dear Susan, I'm glad you've had a great week in Tus Nua and that the cottage had everything you needed while you explored all the interesting places around! The sofa was replaced recently with a soft fabric one due to some others finding the leather sofa too firm! I'm always keen to act on feedback to improve guests comfort. I'm glad your child enjoyed playing on the swings and slide in the enclosed back garden. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at this cottage."

    It was quiet, comfortable and very clean. The location was really good, it was within an hours drive from lots of attractions and the exmoor national park was outstanding for beautiful views and unspoilt coastlines, great for exploring. The one drawback for us personally is the property felt very regimentaly managed so once we read the very long list of instructions it lost some of its relaxing holiday feel. All this said we had a wonderful time and was great value for money.

    Dear Mathew, I'm glad that you found Tus Nua to be a great value, comfortable and clean base for exploring this beautiful area. I'm sorry if you found the guest information and guidance too detailed. This information is intended to aid guests who need it and is intended to be dipped into as necessary. I'm glad you had a great time and would be happy to welcome you and your family back if you wish to return. Property Owner

    We had the most relaxing stay at Tus Nua. Andy has thought of everything, it really is a home from home. Communication between Andy and myself was fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. The dishwasher wasn't working for our stay but Andy contacted me before the stay to apologise (which definitely wasn't needed but very much appreciated.) If you are looking for a home from home in a quiet location close to Minehead, Dunster, Watchet etc then it is definitely worth staying! Thank you again Andy!

    Dear Jane, I’m so glad you found Tús Nua a relaxing place to stay and reset after a tough time. It’s lovely to hear that you appreciated all the little things that help this be a home from home. I’m sorry the dishwasher had broken down before your short break and could not be repaired. I have now replaced it with a shiny new one and can only apologise again for the inconvenience of this unexpected event. Thank you so much for being so understanding!

  • "Lovely cottage in quiet village."

    The cottage is geared for kids with a great garden as well as indoor games, cots, stair gates etc. Beautiful, quiet location in Somerset within a short drive to beautiful Exmoor countryside, quaint villages and shingle beaches. Longer drive of 30-75 minutes will take you to Taunton, Weston S-M, Ilfracombe and Tiverton with loads of indoor and outdoor fun. Andy was quick to reply and help out with any issues that we had during our stay, even offering to get fans delivered as it was a bit hot in the night. The only negative aspect of our stay was that the kitchen was not well cleaned before our arrival, particularly the oven and fridge. We have advised Andy, so hopefully it was a one-off.

    Dear Yechezkel, Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you found all the equipment in the cottage helpful and that you've enjoyed lots of exploring of the lovely surrounding area. I'm always keen to help guests in any way I can. My caretaker and I have high standards regarding cleanliness, as is demonstrated by multiple other feedback comments.

    The cottage is extremely clean and has all the facilities and equipment you need. Bed 2 not brilliant but does the job. Sofa is completely uncomfortable such that we used a couple of garden chairs instead. We would have liked a shelf in the bathroom but that’s just our preference. All in all a lovely place to stay.

    Also, the information regarding recycling seems to be out of date as to which box and bag should be used. The collection day was Thursday rather than Wednesday for recycling, and it looked as if the dustbin was to be emptied as we left the property on Friday. However, the property was very clean and comfortable, and we had a very pleasant stay.

    Dear Barbara, Thank you for your feedback. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage to be clean and comfortable. You’re right, some new containers have recently been issued for recycling… I will update the guest information booklet so their use is clearer. Tús Nua Cottage is an eco friendly building and I really appreciate guests taking time to recycle as much waste as is possible. Recycling is collected every Wednesday as described (perhaps your collection was affected by the extended Jubilee public holiday weekend). There are two black bins available for residual non-recyclable waste. These should be placed onto the kerbside on Tuesdays evening for Wednesday collection according to a 3-weekly rolling pattern. As I manage the property remotely, I really appreciate guests taking the time to do this for their own and future guest’s benefit. Thanks again for taking the time to provide constructive positive feedback. Property Owner

  • "There is no mobile signal, no decent wifi signal, no tumble dryer and no radiators on which washing can be dried - just 2 tiny glass electric heaters."

    Which were off all the time. The property was very dirty with mouldy black bathroom, just the one bathroom which we had to bleach on arrival. The front garden was full of huge weeds which our kids enjoyed pulling out. We sprayed weedkiller ourselves as we were there for 4 weeks and we have standards even if the owner and cleaner do not. The back garden was mowed on day 1 of our stay only, and then left so the lawn became overgrown and unusable by the kids. The place was crammed full of baby stuff, even a pram, which we did not need and we had to put it all in the shed to survive! The kitchen was filthy, with a stinking recycle bin and minging dishwasher. The drawers and cupboards were dirty and full of crumbs. Even the ironing board was in bits, this was the only one of our complaints the owner dealt with - he sent another cheapo one from Argos. Oh Joy! We were there for 4 weeks, no cleaner turned up and the owner said he was not paying for a cleaner as Sykes could not make him do so. We did get a linen change, but had to beg. The heating is controlled by the owner via wifi and rarely was it on - even when we begged. What a Scrooge!

    Thanks for your feedback. Mobile signal does depend which network a guest uses and a landline phone is provided for incoming calls. There is also a strong wifi signal throughout the property internally. The heaters were on a programme but with thermostatic control which can be over-ridden manually at any time using the control on the heaters as explained in the property information book and I believe I also responded within an hour for further information on this at the time of your stay. As this is a new build eco home with an air recycling and distribution heating system, there are only these two heaters but there is also an electric fire for immediate heat. Cleanliness usually receives high feedback so I would welcome further information or pictures so I can investigate this. Apologies re the garden, the gardener attends fortnightly, apologies if this didn’t happen or there was overgrowth due to excessive rain recently-it will be monitored. Changeover needs were discussed by email prior to arrival, as was done in this case. The property is marketed for short lets rather than long term stays, as a customer’s own belongings on a long let may impact space available - if we had known you were bringing a large amount of belongings, we would have removed other un-needed items. We would have been happy to discuss this at the time we communicated re weekly changeovers if we had been advised. The ironing board was ordered and delivered during your stay, thank you for letting me know it needed replacing. A minor door repair was completed within one hour of being advised, by my caretaker team. While a tumble dryer is not listed and only one bathroom is listed in the advert, thank you for your feedback anyway. Property Owner

  • "We holiday in The UK several times a year and usually opt for 4/5* luxury premises, Tus Nua is rated as 5* luxury and we had a lovely week here however we would rate it as a good 4*."

    It's very nice but did not meet a 'luxury' rating in our opinion. The good: Lovely clean, compact newly built house in a quiet culdesac very close to the beautiful village of Dunster, Minehead and with a lovely beach a short walk from your door which the children really enjoyed. The owner was very friendly and helpful and finding and accessing the premises was easy and stress free. Facilities were good and the beds were really lovely and comfortable. Decor is modern and neutral and children's play area in the garden was a real plus. The location is close to lots of places to visit by car and te heating system kept the house warm and comfortable. There were lots of baby equipment available, which we didn't require but would be priceless for those visiting with babies. Not so good: The living area isn't very cosy, it's small and the seating is very uncomfortable and impracticable for a family of 6. We found the hot water system a challenge as it is very strictly set and doesnt provide enough hot water for the day. You need to use the shower to run a hot bath ( as the tap temp is limited) which was fine but the booster didn't heat quickly enough to enable the family to all wash throughout the day. Basic essentials are very limited ie toilet roll & bin bags (1 spare roll and 1 tiny bin bag for a family of 6 for a week) which Is unusual in our experience for 'luxury' 5* accommodation which you have paid a premium for. overall we enjoyed our week here and would recommend this cottage to others as a good 4* Rather than a 'luxury' 5* accommodate.

    The cottage was well equipped and very thoughtfully designed to provide a lovely haven of tranquillity surrounded by beautiful country and coastal walks and providing a warm and welcoming return at the end of the day. There are many activities in the surrounding areas for young and old and we will be recommending it to our friends and family. Sue & Bill Solihull

The property

Tús Nua is an eco friendly, family welcoming detached property, set in a small, residential cul-de-sac in the village of Carhampton, just four miles from Minehead.

Ideal for a family break near the beach or a get-together with friends, this property has a spacious kitchen and dining area, a lovely spot for enjoying an evening meal.

The sitting room enjoys views of the large, lawned garden through the French doors.

Swings and a slide allow the little ones to burn off some energy, whilst the rest of the party keep an eye on them as they discuss what attractions they'd like to visit.

There is also a secure garden shed with ground anchor for bikes within the lockable rear garden, and a hose for cleaning up after a day out biking or at the beach.

All this before venturing upstairs to enjoy a good night's sleep in one of the three cosy bedrooms.

With an enclosed garden and a cul-de-sac setting, Tús Nua cottage is ideally suited to those travelling with young children.

This seaside location is just a very short drive to the coast and lovely beaches, including the beach at Minehead.

The coastal town of Minehead is also ideal for those who enjoy a spot of shopping, great for bringing back souvenirs to remind you of your Somerset holiday.

Guests can also enjoy a ride on the West Somerset Railway, a wonderful steam railway in Minehead that will transport you back in time whilst getting to see the stunning sights and scenery of Somerset from a different viewpoint.

For those who want to discover the surrounding area on foot, Exmoor National Park is the ideal spot.

This open moorland will draw you in to uncover all that it has to offer.

This holiday home is the perfect spot for discovering Somerset and for making holiday moments to remember.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

CARHAMPTON

Dunster 1.6 miles; Minehead 4 miles.

Carhampton is an attractive village close to the Exmoor National Park, with a church, pub, village store, community orchard and Post Office. There are lovely walks from the village, over the deer park to Dunster, and through farmland to the beach. The village is less than 4 miles from the popular seaside resort of Minehead, which 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 bridle paths and heather-clad moors, is well worth a visit, whilst the magnificent Norman Castle at nearby Dunster is a must.
