About this property
A family-friendly property resting at the heart of the seaside town of Minehead, Westholme Lodge provides wonderful accommodation for a large group of friends or family looking to make the most of both the coast and countryside of Somerset. Boasting a stylish interior and spacious living spots to spend quality time with loved ones, there's no better retreat to return to after a day of fun-filled adventure. Step through onto the quirky black and white tiled floor and set down your belongings before sinking into one of the sofas in the sitting room, providing a great spot to unwind at any time amongst the feature fireplace and the entertainment of the television. The property also benefits from offering a separate space for the little ones to play, with their own play room full of games and excitement, so the adults of the group can gather around the dining table to indulge in a rewarding glass of fizz as the dinner simmers on the hob in the impressive kitchen. The kitchen/diner is a particular marvel, home to a unique style combining contemporary with a traditional theme; here the chef of the group can easily prepare a delicious treat for the group amongst the warmth of the woodburning stove, with ample room for assistance around the island taking centre stage in the room, as well as the added benefit of a separate utility room with stylish tiling, offering even more amenities or your self-catered stay. At the end of the day, retire to one of the elegantly presented bedrooms to catch up on your rest, choosing from a super-king-size with en-suite bathroom, a double with en-suite shower room, a king-size with basin, a twin, a second-floor super-king-size, a second-floor king-size with day bed, and a second-floor single, this flexible sleeping arrangement is perfect for a variety of group needs. Spend some time in the rear garden to begin your day with a breath of fresh air while your canine companion stretches their legs as you unwind with a good book on the decking area. Set at the centre of Minhead, you can find a selection of amenities on your doorstep, including delicious eateries and quaint shops to explore, alongside a golf course, beach and the West Somerset Railway offering opportunities to explore Somerset in a different way.

The furniture is all in keeping with a grand house. We will be back in the future, as my family all loved the house.

The kitchen was big enough for everyone and had all that we needed. In the local area we enjoyed the steam railway, the beach and Dunster Castle.

The only draw back was no airers for drying clothes on wet days . We werenât sure about the bin days as we had no information while we were there, so we contacted the housekeeper who I must say was very helpful.Denise
