  • "Wonderful apartment ideal for 2 couples."

    So comfortable, very quiet even though on main road towards the seafront. Loved all the little extras that were left for us. Only one issue which I wasn't aware of until we were leaving, the shower in the main bathroom didn't switch to the shower function. I wasn't using it, otherwise I would have rung the owner before. We would definitely co e back and recommend to friends and family. This part of Minehead has everything we could ask for.

    Thank you Pauline for your comments we will check the shower function to ensure it is working properly, It is nice to hear that you found the location of the flat convenient and both the sea front and the town centre are all easy to access by foot. We try to make our guests feel comfortable and at home when they arrive after their travel journey and find that a welcome pack with some of the essentials means that they can make a simple meal if they need to without going out to the shops again. Thank you for your kind comments Property Owner

  • "This is our second visit to Archie's."

    Well equipped and clean and close to shops and town centre.The welcome pack and cake was lovely.The only negative 's were the bamboo toilet rolls and the side ov the garden needs tidying.And and needs lighting down side to the back.

    Thanks Chris for your feedback we will attend to the side access , with all the wet weather the plant growth has certainly become a bit wilder than we would like. We our trying to do our bit by using the bamboo toilet paper which is more sustainable in the long run but we appreciate that it this sort of thing is personal taste. Thanks for your comments Property Owner

  • "Archie’s was in a most convenient position in the town."

    We could be on the Avenue in 5 minutes and on the sea front in another 2. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the welcome groceries and cake was a lovely surprise. Having a parking space was great. We would definitely book Archie’s if staying in Minehead again.

    Thanks Jane it is nice to hear that you found that Archies was xo convenient to the high street and the front. We try to make guests feel welcome and able to relax into your holiday break as soon as you arrive. The Welcome pack items which provides you with the basics ( plus some homemade cake) means you dont have to rush off to the shops. You can sit down with a cuppa and a slice of homemade cake with you feet up . Property Owner

  • "We had the best time."

    The place was perfect. Well equipped and very clean. My party were impressed so much so we’re looking to book again! Didn’t like the brown toilets paper but that’s only concern!! lol the little touches like equipment for my dog were totally appreciated and he loved the bed and use of the bowls! Fabulous thank you

    We are glad that you found all the facilities for both human and dogs made you relax into your holiday and feel 'at home'. Just to say that the 'brown toilet paper' is actually bamboo paper - which is more sustainable and easier to biodegrade than the bleached domestic supermarket sell, we try to do our bit for the planet. We are aware that this is not everyone's taste. It would be great if you wanted to book another stay as you know there are plenty of things to do and see across Exmoor and around about Minehead.

  • "Archie's is a lovely well equipped and comfortable apartment, everything is as good as new and very clean."

    The welcome food pack was generous and much appreciated. We didn't get to use the outside area as the weather was showery and gloomy. The property is on a potentially busy road, but we didn't notice any traffic noise.

    We are pleased you enjoyed the apartment. We want our guests to be able to settle in easily. Minehead is a vibrant place and Archie's is a short walk to the amenities, yet secluded. Property Owner

  • "Very nice flat, very well appointed and a warm welcome from the owner."

    The only minor detail one should know is that due to the flat being on the ground floor and the property being surrounded by walls all around one does always look out onto these walls (over a small terrace with a courtyard feeling to it). All of that is described on the website, but we did not realise it. So it was pretty much our own fault. All in all a great place to stay in Minehead with very easy access to the town centre and all amenities.

  • "Excellent comfortable apartment and with a parking spot."

    Very generous food starter pack.Happy to revisit it. Kitchen generally well stocked but needs more small Saucepans ( loads frying pans) and more 1/2 pint drinking glasses ( loads wine glasses) . Small points that would definitely improve the experience to an even higher level.

    Many thanks for your feedback, Ian. We have subsequently purchased a new set of sauce pans and a set of tumbler glasses that can be used for beer and other soft drinks . We hope that you visit again this wonderful area of Exmoor. regards Nick and Melanie Property Owner

  • "Couple of suggestions."

    Hook on back of bathroom door. Toothbrush holders at side of mirror. Thanks for welcome pack - cake enjoyed other things very useful. The lantern blew down. Nightlight in ensuite bedroom was very useful as my sister has mobility issues. Really comfortable beds. Meant to check out the make of the mattresses

    Thank You Janet for your feedback, We will certainly consider some of your suggestions for our future guests. We are glad that you enjoyed the homemade cake and welcome pack, we like to think this makes people feel 'at home' and relax into their holiday breakaway. Property Owner

    Very will situated in the heart of Minehead. The essentials provided (tea, milk, butter etc.) were much appreciated and more than you normally expect (thanks for the homemade cake!). A lovely holiday apartment that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

The property

Archie's is situated in the heart of Minehead, a bustling coastal town lying on the south bank of the Bristol Channel.

With designated parking for one car, an enclosed rear courtyard with outdoor seating, and a collection of well-presented interiors set across the ground-floor, this lovely apartment is perfectly-positioned close to nearby shops and pubs, making an idyllic base for a small family or group of friends seeking a relaxing, fuss-free stay by the Somerset seaside.

Step into your charming new abode, wherein you'll discover a well-appointed, open-plan living space, featuring a fully-equipped kitchen where the chosen chef can rustle up delicious, home-cooked feasts, a dining area with a table seating four, and a sitting space with an elegant Smart TV.

When day rolls into night, retreat to the bathroom to indulge with a soak in the bath before you finally retire for a much-needed rest in either an inviting king-size with an accompanying en-suite, or a twin bedroom with its very own TV.

If you can tear yourself from your tranquil new home, set out on foot to discover more of what Minehead has to offer.

A brief walk into town will bring you to a plethora of convenience stores and supermarkets where you can stock up on essentials, a variety of independent pubs and restaurants including The Hairy Dog, The Quay Inn, and The Old Ship Aground, as well as the must-visit spots of the Blenheim Gardens, Splash Waterworld, and the beautiful Minehead Seafront.

Further afield, spend a full day out exploring the countless wonders of the Exmoor National Park, whether that's snapping shots of Robber's Bridge, hopping onboard a ride along the Lynton & Lynmouth Cliff Railway, getting up close and personal with aviary wildlife at the Exmoor Owl & Hawk Centre, or even embarking on a scenic hike through the areas of Dunkery Beacon or Hurlstone Point.

There is also an 18 hole golf course for which day passes can be purchased.

Opposite the beach, you will find the Somerset West Steam Railway.

Whatever you choose to do during your next stay in Somerset, make sure you do it from Archie's.

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.
