Pilgrim Corner - 4 Bedroom (Sleeps 8) Cottage in Minehead

Description

A large and luxurious 17th-century thatched cottage sleeping eight, with four en-suite bedrooms, a generous private garden and a circular hot tub. Set in a quiet conservation area of Minehead’s little-known old town, Pilgrim Corner combines genuine historic character with space, comfort and high-quality modern living. Five Star Gold rated by VisitEngland.

Pilgrim Corner is a light, beautifully furnished Tudor cottage that feels immediately welcoming and calm. Guests frequently describe it as somewhere genuinely special — ideal for family holidays, reunions, milestone birthdays and celebratory stays. “I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in such a lovely cottage.”

Living space
The large living room is warm and sociable, with a wood-burning stove, comfortable sofas and armchairs, and pretty window seats overlooking the Vicarage Road conservation area, with distant views towards Exmoor. It’s a space designed for time together — whether that’s relaxed evenings by the fire, family games, or unwinding after a day exploring Exmoor. There is a large HD TV with Netflix for cosy nights in. “A perfect setting for eight friends to come together and enjoy each other’s company.”

Bedrooms and bathrooms
Pilgrim Corner sleeps up to eight adults across four beautifully decorated en-suite bedrooms. Each room is furnished with Hypnos or hotel-standard mattresses, high-quality bedding, linens and towels, and is consistently praised for comfort and style. The layout works particularly well for mixed groups, couples travelling together and extended families. “The bedrooms are beautifully decorated and have very comfortable beds.”

Kitchen and dining
The well-equipped country-style kitchen is designed for proper cooking rather than holiday compromise, making it easy to cater for larger groups and shared meals. It includes a large dual-fuel range cooker, microwave, Nespresso Essenza Mini coffee machine, cafetière and a larder fridge.

In the adjacent utility room you’ll find a fridge freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer, along with practical storage space — particularly useful for longer stays or when using the hot tub. Guests regularly comment on how well-equipped and practical the cottage is for group stays. “Such a well-equipped cottage with everything we could possibly wish for.”

Garden and hot tub
One of Pilgrim Corner’s standout features is its large, private garden, which offers space to relax, dine outdoors, and enjoy the peaceful setting. At its heart is a circular hot tub with a dedicated changing room, perfect year-round — whether it’s summer evenings or crisp winter nights. “Winter in the hot tub was a delight.” “The garden is beautiful and so relaxing — it definitely has the wow factor.”

Location
Pilgrim Corner is set in Minehead’s old town conservation area — peaceful and tucked away, yet within easy walking distance of:
• Minehead town centre and its sandy beach
• Independent shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants
• Minehead station for the West Somerset Railway

Exmoor National Park, the South West Coast Path and dramatic coastal scenery are all a short drive away. Guests enjoy combining relaxed days at the cottage with walking, beach visits, steam railway journeys and trips to nearby villages and landmarks. “Its location allowed us to walk to and enjoy Minehead — a place that surprised us in the best way.”

Dog, child and walker friendly
Pilgrim Corner is child and dog-friendly, with space indoors and out to make travelling with dogs easy and comfortable. We provide dog baskets, blankets, towels, bowls and a welcome treat, and the garden is particularly appreciated by guests with pets. Walkers value the proximity to both coastal and moorland routes, as well as the opportunity to return to a warm, comfortable base at the end of the day. “Even the dog enjoyed exploring the garden!”

Celebrations and special occasions
Pilgrim Corner is especially well-suited to celebrations and memorable stays. Over the years we’ve helped guests mark anniversaries and birthdays, plan surprise romantic breaks, and organise proposals and even vow renewals. The combination of space, privacy, garden and hot tub makes it a wonderful setting for special moments shared with family and friends.

Quality and reassurance
Pilgrim Corner is Five Star Gold rated by VisitEngland and is known for exceptional cleanliness, attention to detail and thoughtful hosting. Many guests return repeatedly, often describing it as their favourite place to stay. The owner has been welcoming guests to Exmoor for over 15 years, with a reputation for exceptional cleanliness, thoughtful hosting and attention to detail.

“This has been our fifth extended family holiday at Pilgrim Corner — it never disappoints.”
Whether you’re planning a special celebration, a relaxed family holiday or time away with friends, Pilgrim Corner offers space, comfort, history and a setting that guests return to again and again. “We’re already planning our return.”
