Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Minehead

The Somerset seaside town of Minehead lies on the eastern edge of Exmoor, on the Bristol Channel coast. With its harbour, sandy beach and pretty historic centre, it has been a popular destination among holidaymakers for centuries. A stroll away from holiday cottages in Minehead, the town’s vast beach is a glorious place to spend an afternoon swimming, sunbathing, or building sandcastles. The beach is backed by a promenade and seawall that you can follow for the length of the bay, with far-reaching sea views. Channel Adventure offers stand-up paddle-boarding and kayaking trips along the coast. Minehead Harbour is at the bay’s western end, where you can watch the comings and goings of fishing boats.
