Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location beside harbour, free parking and nice bar, restaurant. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Room well sized and nice view over harbour.Good breakfast.
No aircon or fan.
Personal war freundlich, Essen war super, Lage ist top. Für eine Nacht wars ok.
Braucht Renovierung, teilweise sehr abgenutzt.
Good spacious room with very comfortable bed
The breakfast was 10 out of 10!
The staff are extremely courteous and helpful. The location was perfect for the South West Coastal Path.
The small road at the front of the hotel is surprisingly busy and due to no double glazing this made the room noisy. This wouldn't stop me staying here again as the staff are so friendly I would just request a room at the rear. The hotel would benefit from some investment.
Breakfast and location exceptional
Only quibble was no warm water in the shower to cold to use.
Excellent location, excellent staff, fantastic food.
The one minor negative was that the shower was very cramped. It does not outweigh all the excellent point's but I wanted to be honest
The location was very good. Evening meal was good. Breakfast was excellent 😊 The room was dated and really needed a little more thought into the decoration as the whole of the interior of the room including the woodwork was painted in a dark blue, very drab.
Room decoration and furniture
Was convenient for the town and close to the sea.
Nothing
The room was large and spacious. Had a balcony with a sea view. Bed was comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was good with a good selection. Easy walk into Minehead.
The room could do with a bit of TLC, just decor wise and the bathroom modernised. Needs a bigger shower head. A coffee machine would be nice and spare power points by the mirror.
The location was very good and Siobhan was a fab front end manager and a huge asset. The breakfast was over and above. I had the kippers and im well travelled best i have had yet.
Probably the tv needed to be a bit bigger and brought into the 21st century. Also the hall carpets could do with a blast of the rug doctor.
Ubicazione meravigliosa Colazione abbondante e buonissima Personale gentilissimo La sera , abbiamo potuto cenare all’aperto con intrattenimento musicale e vista sul porticciolo , molto romantico ,nonostante un po di affollamento
Nulla
Excellent staff with amazing food. Room was basic but exactly what we expected for the price paid
Staff were really lovely, we had such a nice room with the outlook over the harbour. The breakfast was so nice! Would stay again.
Bathroom a little dated but was fine.
Room was clean and warm.Lovely view across the harbour and the sea.
More free parking perhaps. But the car park next door was priced very reasonably. Have to be out before 09.00 to avoid the following day charge. But only a very minor point as the Inn can't do anything about it. There were plenty of spaces including disabled.
Very good location, a great breakfast, staff very friendly. If the bed and shower was sorted we would happily come back as it's a lovely quiet place.
The bad was uncomfortable. Cold shower every day even though staff came up when we told them. Think they had trouble with the boiler.
Lieux typique , emplacement majestueux, gentillesse du personnel, chambre très confortable, très bon petit déjeuner
Rien !
Location was good and unbelievably good value and the staff were amazing. Staff members were friendly especially the hotel manager and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back. Exceptional good value for money, comfortable bed, big room and a great breakfast.
Location was perfect. Bar area was good.
Bed was small and not that comfortable.
Das Haus an sich, das Personal. Alles top !
Breakfast was really good, and really like the location
Just we dont like the dog in the dine area
Lovely place to stay and great staff
Nothing
Atmospheric location, good food
We suffered a power failure in the plugs in the morning. No hot water. Banging noise from 5.30 am
Amazing food and friendly staff
Ausgesprochen freundliches Personal! Als Start auf den SWCP ideal gelegen! Guter Pub mit leckerem Essen!
Excellent staff who made us feel welcome.
Petit déjeuner excellent
Super gezellige sfeer met heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
Perfect position next to the start of the SWCP. Also the nicer part of Minehead. Room had everything we needed and despite there being a band on we didn’t hear anything. The lovely staff did us a sandwich for our breakfast as we were leaving early.
Nothing
Staff were a credit to their company
High prices food and drink. Accommodation desperately needs updating and repairs. Rattling windows when windy mattress very uncomfortable. Paint peeling. Overpriced, will not use use you anymore for bookings.
Fantastic location and very friendly staff
Friendly staff and a great location
Nothing
Very good food , location excellent.
Parking was tricky.
Staff were friendly and helpful especially the young lad who worked the dining room during the evening meal
No mini fridge in the room. No breakfast menu in the room. Not.aware of guest wi fi in the room. Also would have liked to spend evening in the bar but couldn't because of very loud karaoke singer during the evening. If you're singing over pre recorded backing tapes then that's karaoke in my opinion. I was a professional drummer.
Goede kamer in een mooie pub met zeer goed diner en ontbijt. Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel. Ideale start voor de Coast path die een 100 meter eerder begint.
Geen problemen
lovely location, very good price and friendly staff
the hotel is tired and needs upgrading. The room's basin had a huge crack in it.
Bestes Pubfood ever.
Tolle Lage direkt auf dem South West Coast Path. Tolles Pub in dem man ein gutes Dinner und auch ein sehr leckeres Frühstück bekommt. Die Zimmer war auch schön eingerichtet. Personal war sehr freundlich!
Breakfast was superb. Location is wonderful. Room was good size. Bed very comfortable. Shower great. Pub shut about 10 & was very quiet.
Room decor was very dated, dark blue walls, old cupboards etc but perfectly adequate & excellent price. The fire door at the top of the steps opened onto the steps which was awkward & a bit dangerous

Everything . Lovely room
Nothing
Room well appointed and staff very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great. Location was in a lovely historical part of Minehead and parking just outside the pub was very convenient.
My room was big and airy and the bed was also big and comfortable. Good TV ( not usually a TV Watcher but was feeling lazy). Nice breakfast and very nice staff serving. Great location for the start of the South West Costal Path.
It’s a bit tired and worn and needs some TLC. Didnt eat dinner or use the bar so cant comment. Free parking is a bit confusing ( not that there was any). Pervading smell of the kitchen when I arrived.
Breakfast was brilliant. So much choice that everyone was happy. Drinks in the bar were good value. Excellent location. I have read that this listed building has also been given the go ahead for some work to be done which can only make it even better.
Parking was a bit of an issue. Nothing available next to the pub, there was limited spaces but already taken, we did arrive on a sunny Sunday afternoon though.
Beautiful room and a great breakfast
Very cosy! Excellent location
Nothing really
Had a lovely stay at this hotel. We were lucky enough to have breakfast, lunch and dinner here and it was all AMAZING! Couldn't fault the food at all, everything tasted fresh and was cooked perfect! The staff were absolutely incredible, from the bar staff to the hostess that checked us in to the wait staff - everyone was so friendly and pleasant which made our stay much more enjoyable!! Thank you all for a fab stay - will definitely come back and recommend to anyone staying in Minehead!
Rooms could be modernised
Posizione defilata vicino al piccolo porto, molto suggestiva di sera, posti auto gratuiti intorno alla struttura, disponibili in base a orario di arrivo. Camere al primo piano, no ascensore ma siamo stati immediatamente aiutati con le valigie. Stanza spaziosa, silenziosa seppure su strada, letto comodo, tende oscuranti, pareti azzurre come in Grecia, camino, angolo con bollitore, caffè e the. Ottimo il pub, menu di mare e di carne, personale gentilissimo e manager super energica ed efficiente.
Nulla!
We evidently got ourselves a bargain here at £80! - Great sized room with a large bed. - Fantastic views, lovely location and nice to be able to sit out and enjoy that. - Generous sized TV with a comfortable area to sit and enjoy. - Lots of storage in the room although the wardrobe had only 3 hangers. - Beautiful breakfast; both cooked and continental.
- The room is quite tired with dings, scrapes and a very dirty carpet from the balcony entrance. - Small bathroom with low shower pressure. - Only blinds which resulted in a light room in the morning. A room this large and grand needs curtains. - Better quality bedding; pillows especially were flat. - Lighting was poor in that the bedside tables were dull and there wasn't anything else in the room other than the ceiling light. A corner standard lamp would be useful.
Good location. Great food and selection of beers. The staff were always friendly, welcoming and helpful. The included breakfast was excellent.
The room was quite basic and the en-suite was very cramped, although it was clean and beds were comfortable and adequate for one night.
Posto caratteristico Camera spaziosa Ottima colazione
Location was brilliant
Unhelpful staff and unless you took your own hangers there was nowhere to put your clothes; not a single drawer
Great stay in Minehead right away at the harbor. The manager Chevon and her staff had been very attentive and friendly. Delicious food for dinner and breakfast.
L atmosfera del pub, la colazione, ottima la birra

Close to the South West Coastal Path. Excellent breakfast. Live music during dinner at the pub.
Lighting in room wasn't great.
Great location and friendly staff
Very hot room with little ventilation. A fan should have been provided
Staff were lovely. Very friendly and helpful. Amazing view from our balcony room. Room was clean.
Smells from the kitchen could be smelt upstairs. The mattress was a little hard.
secure parking for motorcycles
Das Personal ist total freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Essen war super lecker und das Zimmer sehr gemütlich!
Ambiance. The staff are friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the outlook being on the harbour with sea views.

Breakfast was good, great location for the fishing boat .back in September
WiFi very poor . Pre arranged Packed lunch ( early on the boat so before breakfast time ) was still in the fridge locked in the kitchen. Not a problem on previous occasions. Bin lorry at 6am
Sehr herzlichen Empfang. Top Frühstück mit toller Atmosphäre.
The staff were brilliant, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was fantastic.
It just felt a bit old and passed its best.
Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, sowohl das full english als auch das Angebot für kontinentales Frühstück. Die Küche des Restaurants ist wirklich hervorragend. Die Lage am kleinen malerischen Hafen von Minehead ist einmalig. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Die WLan Verbindung war teilweise instabil.

Everything was great from the warm welcome to checkout. Every member of saff was absolutely fabulous. Great energy and welcoming to everyone. Location was lovely. Well kept ales 😋 Delicious evening meal and great breakfast choices. Comfy bed++. Many guests staying but didn't hear a peep from the other guests or the bar from the room. Had a great stay and didn't want to leave.
Needed a shelf or hook in the ensuite for toiletries/washbag.
Leuke sfeer, ruime kamer, goede ligging, lekker ontbijt
Misschien wat te verouderd
Liked the room, really spacious with a big comfy bed. Friendly helpful staff
Posizione perfetta per iniziare il South West Coast Path. La prima colazione perfetta. Ho anche cenato al pub ed era tutto molto buono
Nulla
Food options included several chef specials in addition to the standard pub fare. Red fruit compote at breakfast was outstanding! Loved the coffee served in the French Press aka cafeteria.
There’s no lift, but the staff assisted us with luggage up and down the stairs.
Location
A little tired
Uriger Pub direkt am South West Coast Path, abends kamen Delfine in die Bucht zum Jagen und man konnte sie vom Ufer aus toll beobachten.
Proper traditional harbour pub and staff were very friendly. Loved the breakfast 😋
Our stay was just before a refurb, would be nice to see it afterwards.
Location...staff....food menu especially the specials board...breakfast....rooms....all great value ....good quality & staff were so friendly
Proximity to Steam train
All ok
Sehr freundlicher und verständnisvoller Hausherr, ein bequemes Zimmer, ein gutes Frühstück.
Tucked away in the corner of the bay, this was a lovely, cheerful inn offering everything you'd expect in such a place. For the price, it offered excellent value. Our twin room was clean, comfortable, and had very comfy beds. Food was delicious, with generous portions of classic pub favourites. Having a tasty breakfast included was a welcome bonus. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. Overall, a very enjoyable stay with great value, good food, and excellent hospitality. I'd happily stay there again.
The only small downside was a bit of background noise in the evening, possibly from a kitchen fan or AC unit. I'm a light sleeper, so I noticed it, but it wasn't particularly disruptive and seemed to be switched off around 11 pm.
Sehr nettes Personal, super Lage, leckeres Frühstück, charmantes Haus

De kamer met kingsize bed en porte fenêtres naar de zee.... ook de gezellige drukte in de bar. De mogelijkheid om onze trekkingbikes binnen te plaatsen.
Badkamertjes klein en soms verouderd, Foutjes in de ontbijt bediening Foute info ivm gratis parkeren in de omtrek, die ons een boete opleverde. Alles wellicht tgv drukte in het hotel...
Enorm vriendelijke dame die ons welkom heette. Mooie ruime kamer aan voorzijde hotel met uizicht baai
Niets
De locatie! Personeel is erg vriendelijk. Het hotel kan een opknapbeurt gebruiken. Vooral de vloerbedekking en de luchtverversing. De schoonmaak kan beter.
De hygiëne, de keuken, geen airco. De kamer was redelijk schoon, echter, het meubilair en de deuren plakken en de vloerbedekking in de kamer, gang en op de trap is ontzettend vies. Er hing op de gang en in het trappenhuis een vieze vette baklucht. Het eten wordt vooral gefrituurd, je moet er van houden. En kom niet aan met dat u teleurgesteld bent, want u weet dondersgoed dat het niet okee is.
Very comfy bed, large room with view. Staff friendly and helpful
Pub vecchia maniera con alloggio. Cena deliziosa.
Tolle Lage. Supernettes Personal.
The pub was so rustic to look at I thought it was amazing the staff was excellent polite and friendly service. Very attentive. Breakfast was outstanding with many choices. We had evening meals which again was delicious and looked amazing when served .our room was so comfortable.
The location how the pub was decorated and most of all the staff .
Great location. Friendly, efficient staff. Food was excellent. Good value.
Certain parts are in need of refurbishment but it was very clean.
Lovely staff.
Room a little shabby.
Location and the food was excellent staff were great and really kind and friendly
A hairdryer and a few sockets in the room would be really helpful
De ligging en het restaurant met live muziek.
De kamer was vrij klein, ook de badkamer heel klein. Warm ook.
Limpieza
Tuvimos un incidente muy grave. Nos instalamos en la habitación y cuando estábamos fuera cogieron nuestras pertenencias sin permiso y las cambiaron de habitación, lo cual es una violación de intimidad grave. Había objetos sueltos muy personales como pijama, cepillo de dientes, toalla usada y lo tocaron todo. Está denunciado.
Clean and spacious room, dog friendly, super friendly staff, delicious breakfast and lovely location
Location and price were outstanding. All staff were friendly and helpful Breakfast was above average with choice and quality, was served quickly and friendly. Room size was fab, clean ,toiletries in bathroom were lovely and tea and coffee facilities in room were a nice touch
Have no complaints
Great Location. Situated right at the start for the Coast Walk. Easy minute walk into town. Friendly and helpful staff. Painless check-in.
Earlier breakfast than 8.30pm
I was ill and the staff was so helpful. It was lovely and clean. Food was great. I will definitely stay here again.
The lifeboat station was very noisy, slamming doors and very bright lights. The Old Ship Aground had no control over this.
Beautiful location, we had an eve meal which was great and good vegetarian/ vegan option. Staff friendly
Mattress on bed bit uncomfortable Breakfast good but cld have been more choice for cold food (yoghurt / fruit for healthy option)
We found everything first class
