It was clean, good location.
Thin duvet, no blankets.
Poorly maintained windows which banged all night.
Radiator off, so either a thin duvet, no blankets & gaps in the windows, I had no sleep.

Location
The noisy and excessively long running fan in my bathroom. Hot water pulsed so you had to step into and out of the shower as it went hot and cold.
9.0 / 10.0
Hotel lovely. Large comfortable rooms and good facilities. Great Breakfast and nothing too much trouble for the staff. Minehead great as ever. Good selection of Pubs and Restaurants within walking distance and plenty of local shops to brouse.
Access to a plug near a mirror for hairdryer would be a plus. Parking could have been better especially for disabled access. Also check in was a bit random because of the nature of the operation. Some advice in advance of where to announce your arrival would be useful to offset the fact there is no manned reception. Just a thought!

Loved the stay as always ,everything is what we return for and will always come back to stay
The only thing we both wish for is the restaurant to stay open slightly later even 6pm would be so good . We always have to eat elsewhere for evening meal and would always prefer to eat at The Beach Hotel

The experience as a whole was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. They were knowledgeable and took time to talk to us. The room was simple but had everything you needed for a night away.
Breakfast was amazing, cooked fresh and was a decent size.
The location is great, right by the seafront, a short walk to the local facilities. It has a small car park but there is a public car park right next to it. We will definitely be staying again

The Beach Hotel is a very attractive period property in a brilliant location. We had one of the large corner rooms that had a sea view. It was lovely seeing the sun rise and set on the horizon. The hotel is close to all the amenities Minehead has to offer and there is plenty to do in the area. The breakfasts are exceptional with fantastic vegetarian options that my daughters loved because “they weren’t trying to be a non-meat imitation, they were a unique dish”. Lots of choice on the breakfast menu which suited even the picky eater in our group. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be staying there again. Loved it!
It was a bit annoying that they insist on filling out your following day breakfast order but then there is often no one around to take the order. Could you not just give the forms for the next day out at breakfast and maybe a box to return them to?
A large tree right outside the window of two of rooms blocked out most of the daylight but I guess there’s not much the hotel can do about that.

All the staff we met were friendly and amenable
The view from our room, over the heritage railway station, the beach and sea, off into empty skies.
The breakfasts were great, with varied options
The hotel had a relaxing environment (obviously the staff were working hard to ensure that)
It wasn't a dislike, but in the interest of the review, a dripping shower that others had moaned about. However, this was easily resolved by adjusting the selection lever on the tap, to allow the drip to leave the tap and not the showerhead

All is excellent that's why we like coming again and again. Everything is 10/10 and we noticed at this time of year how warm and cosy it was . Always perfect
All of our stay ,nothing was a problem . We wouldn't stay anywhere else in this are and have recommended it to others who have enjoyed it also .

Close to station and beach and shops. Staff friendly. Room clean and good facilities. Lovely breakfast.
Can be noisy at night at front due to people wandering back from pubs down town. Room was a little hot so had to ask for a fan. No lift in hotel so top floor with case was done by member of staff . I have hip issue so struggled with stairs. No evening restaurant but there are plenty down town .

Friendly staff. Location.
No one in reception took half an hour to get booked in. Cook didn't turn up one day, so no cooked breakfast that day. Run out of breakfast items on one day, so limited options. Fire doors wedged open.
