About this property

It's also not far from the coast at Blue Anchor and the West Somerset Steam Railway runs nearby too!

The accommodation was of a high standard.If self catering, the kitchen is very good. Two showers and toilets and two TV viewing areas with comfortable seating. A good base from which to see local attractions and further. I used a delivery service for a quick meal on arrival which came quickly. Very pleasant grounds and view from adjacent site. Good parking. We enjoyed our week stay here.

We very much enjoyed our three nights stay here at the end of May. The cottage was very clean, spacious and light and nicely decorated and furnished. It was warm and cosy and the heating worked very well when it got a bit chilly. The kitchen was very well stocked (much better than usual). There were some interesting books on the shelves in the dining area and the second living room, the start of a small library (it would be great to have more books of local interest). You could see the sea, Brendon /Exmoor Hills and Old Cleeve village from the cottage and the views were even better from the grounds of the adjoining Cedar House to which you have access too. One night we had an outdoors dinner there while admiring the sunset views. The owners couldn’t have been more welcoming and gracious. The bottle of wine that was presented on arrival was a lovely gesture. The cottage was superbly located for trips to Dunster Castle and village, Watchet, Blue Anchor, Porlock and Porlock Weir, Selworthy, Lynton/Lynmouth, and Exmoor National Park. There is easy parking on the little driveway right next door to the cottage. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would happily stay here again.

A sparkling clean cottage with good quality fixtures and fittings. Comfortable beds with good linen, large bath towels provided as well. Location was great for visiting places on all points of the compass. We particularly liked Watchet, with its harbour, great free museum where you can sing along with sea shanties, many independent interesting shops and the best fish and chip shop for food to bring back. Eric and Kay are welcoming hosts, and gave us lots of tips on where to visit. One being Periwinkle Cottage at Selworthy for a cream tea, try not to miss it. The views are beautiful, even on the drizzly day we visited. We did have a problem, which was swiftly sorted out by the owners. We will definitely recommend and return.

About the host

Host profile image
Coach House is situated on the edge of the village of Old Cleeve, which is a charming little village. Blue Anchor is a short distance and a pubs, which provide food and two cafés. Washford is also not far in other direction that has a great pub that serve food, and and Post Office, a little further on is Williton, with two small supermarkets, Post Office, butchers, hardware shop, and some pubs, restaurants and take-aways. In the opposite direction is the charming medieval village of Dunster, just off the A39. Dunster Castle is well worth a visit for sight-seeing as well as shopping and has many restaurants, tea rooms and pubs serving food. Minehead is the main town West Somerset and is approximately 6 miles from Old Cleeve. Here you will find the larger supermarkets and petrol stations (Tesco and Morrisons are both situated on the outskirts of the town and have long opening hours) plus a range of other shops throughout the town.

'Cleeve' means cliff or hill; the village was once simply called Cleeve but became known as Old Cleeve to differentiate between nearby site of Cleeve Abbey in Washford, which was a monastery founded in the late 12th century as a house for monks. Today Cleeve Abbey is looked after by English Heritage and is open to the public; it is one of the best-preserved medieval Cistercian monastic sites in Britain. The parish church sited in the village of Old Cleeve also dates from the 12th century and has been awarded Grade I listed status.

The West Somerset Railway is a steam operated heritage railway and runs very near to Old Cleeve, passing over Black Monkey Bridge, which was built around 1860. Old Cleeve was also near the route of the West Somerset Mineral Railway which ran from the ironstone mines in the Brendon Hills to the port of Watchet on the Bristol Channel.

Between Old Cleeve and Watchet is Cleeve Hill a site of Special Scientific Interest as it contains two species of plant which are nationally rare in Great Britain, Nit-grass (Gastridium ventricosum) and Rough Marsh-mallow (Althaea hirsuta).
