  • "The outlook is a first rate holiday rental, providing exceptional cleanliness and comfort in the spacious rooms."

    The owners had thought of just about everything you might need on a holiday, from lots of maps and information leaflets, to spare toiletries and the delicious goodies in the welcome pack, especially the fresh eggs. The property is in a great, quiet location on the outskirts of Minehead, but is within walking distance of the town centre and beach as well as supermarkets and bus stops and local shops. We were so glad we had chosen to stay at The Outlook.

    Thank you very much for your very kind comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed staying with us! Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely 1st floor property situated on a hill on the edge of Minehead."

    The hill and stairs would make it difficult for those with walking difficulties, but otherwise it offers a great outlook to the sea/Bristol channel estuary. The apartment is very tasteful and comfortable with everything you may need make your stay

  • "What a great find!"

    The apartment was lovely and clean, spacious and extremely comfortable (especially the bed!). As a lone female traveller, I felt safe and secure in the property. Everything you needed was there - even chopsticks for my takeaway! The views from the property were excellent, and I enjoyed sitting in the garden relaxing in the company of the ducks and hens. The welcome basket was great with the frshly laid eggs. I would definitely return.

    Thank you so much for your feedback so pleased you were comfortable! Sorry we missed you, please do come again anytime. Property Owner

  • "Stayed here for a week 30th June - 7th July, as we toured the South West of England."

    We could not fault this property, everything was just perfect for us. There are a lot of steps in the garden as it’s on a steep hill. The apartment is on the first floor with a lot of stairs to climb so may not be suitable for those with walking issues. But the views from the lounge are amazing and you can see across to Wales. We couldn’t fault it and would definitely like to return. There is plenty to do around the area and Dunster Castle/village is a must see. I hope anyone staying will enjoy it as much as we did.

    Thank you for your review! You would be most welcome to return ! Property Owner

  • "I loved my short stay at The Outlook."

    It is cosy, stylish and generous in all it offers. The views are lovely and I was lucky enough to enjoy both sun rises and sunsets! Dogs are generously provided for and my furry companion had a good time. I felt welcomed and cared for in every way. My only disappointment was the Bath! I don’t have one at home and I was looking forward to a wallow. It was slow to fill and difficult to get the temperature just right. This small disappointment didn’t impinge on my very real appreciation and enjoyment of my stay. Thank you so much Liz and Andy. I shall recommend the Outlook to all my friends.

    Thank you for your feedback. So sorry about the bath you should have mentioned it! We have a combination boiler so it can be a bit slow at times as it heats the water as it runs. Glad Bea had a good time too! Hope to see you both again! Property Owner

  • "A delightful and well equipped property, with stunning views out over Minehead, North Hill and the Bristol Channel."

    We loved the level of finish and the decor/furnishings which created a lovely sense of home from home. We were also impressed by the equipment and thought that had clearly gone into this lovely apartment. The provision of a dog bed and bowel was a lovely gesture. We had a lovely week and it was a fabulous base for exploring the area.

    Thank you so much for staying with us and we are so pleased you had a lovely time! Shame about the weather!! Thank you for your lovely feedback and leaving everything so clean! Hope to see you again, Property Owner

The property

Nestled in this fantastic location in Minehead, Somerset near the Exmoor National Park is this lovely first-floor apartment, The Outlook.

Boasting thoughtfully-decorated interior, off-road parking for one car and pretty sea views, The Outlook welcomes two guests and their four-legged friend for a fabulous getaway to Somerset.

Ascend to your new home-from-home via the internal staircase and be impressed by a fully-equipped kitchen, hosting all the necessary appliances required to ease your self-catered stay; prepare, cook and serve up delicious meals as a couple before settling down at the intimate dining table to tuck in over a bottle of wine, as you soak in the stunning views of the Somerset coast.

If you prefer to dine alfresco, make use of the enclosed garden with a raised-level decking area during warmer months before retreating to a homely sitting room adorned with a homely electric flame-effect stove and Smart TV so you can indulge a movie night or catch up on your favourite shows.

Wash away the day in a spacious and airy bathroom ahead of climbing into a king-size bed to catch your beauty sleep, ready for another day of exciting adventures.

Kickstart your itinerary at the coast where you’ll find Minehead Beach, an idyllic spot to soak up the sun’s rays in the summer and savouring a scenic stroll during cooler months; try your hand at a range of watersports here including surfing, paddleboarding and kite surfing, perfect for an exciting day out.

Close by, nature lovers may appreciate a trip to the Exmoor Owl and Hawk Centre and Tropiquaria Wildlife Park whereas history buffs may prefer to visit the National Trust owned Dunster Castle and Watermill and Watchet Museum.

Traverse the Exmoor National Park, boasting a wealth of walking, hiking, and cycling trails to enjoy or journey to the popular locations of Taunton, Bridgwater, and Barnstaple which are all easily accessible by car and offer plenty to do and see.

For a truly memorable escape to Somerset with your loved one, book a stay at The Outlook.
