Description
Little Haven is a beautifully presented, traditional thatched cottage sleeping four people in two bedrooms. The cottage is Grade II listed and is full of character but with all the modern requirements for a cosy stay. It's an ideal choice for couples, friends or a small family.
Guests will fall in love with Little Haven before even stepping inside: Nestled into the side of a quiet hill, the stunning exterior oozes charm while the wrap-around gardens provide an incredible vantage point from which to take in the surrounding countryside on a sunny day. The gardens are south-facing and have outdoor furniture on a top terrace where guests can soak up the sun in the summer.
Stepping inside the cottage into the kitchen, guests will find it well-stocked with all the amenities and utensils required to cook up a feast. There's a handy dishwasher and washing machine for guests' use as well. The kitchen then opens up into the main living and dining area which is perfectly designed for a relaxing time away. The exposed beams, pine doors and oak furniture make it an ideal place to sit in comfort and the large gas-burning stove in the huge fireplace will help keep guests toasty even during the coldest winter months. The cottage comes well-stocked with a selection of board games, books and maps on the local area and a DVD collection for the evenings spent indoors.
The house bathroom can also be found on the ground floor and is recently renovated to include a large freestanding shower.
Up the stairs can be found the two good-sized double bedrooms with king-sized beds and vaulted ceilings. Both bedrooms enjoy countryside views across the small valley and come with plenty of storage and hanging space. The master bedroom has the added advantage of its own private wash basin.
Little Haven is situated on the edge of Alcombe, itself part of the larger town of Minehead. The local pub is only a 5 minute walk down the lane, with the local bakery only a short distance beyond that.
The cottage is perfectly located on the edge of the Exmoor National Park and is near to the starting point of the South West Coast Path - England's longest waymarked footpath which stretches for 630 miles. Inland can be found countless other footpaths making it the perfect property for hikers and dog walkers. Meanwhile, the town of Minehead offers the ideal destination for a family seaside holiday - it boasts a beautiful, long, flat sandy beach, a charming harbour, a bustling town with plenty of independent shops and cafes and family attractions.
The picturesque village of Dunster is also very close by with its splendid castle and yarn market while Watchet, Porlock and Porlock Weir are all also worth a visit, the latter being a very popular spot for crab fishing and water sports.
Little Haven has private parking bay opposite for one car. A second car can parked on the quiet street around the corner. One well-behaved pet is welcome but pets should be kept downstairs and never left alone in the property.

We missed a parasol and the narrow streets were a challenge for us... some things in the kitchen were not well rinsed and we noticed a light smell of dogs...

Hi there,
I am so happy you were able to catch a rare glimpse of sunshine this summer whilst spending time relaxing in tranquillity and beauty that this property especially the garden offers. Listening to birdsong and the lapping of water really does sound like the definition of serenity. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will book again with us in the future. |

Whats not to like! Gorgeous cottage with a beautiful ambience, lovely garden and sun deck - and a sense of warmth, homeliness and wholesomeness inside. This is our place of respite and renewal in England.

This time we noticed the TV display had something wrong - the pixels on the screen have gotten damaged. So TV needs changing.

Check out time was a little early (10am) with a SMS text at 7am reminding us that we had to be out by that timemay face extra charges if cleaner was kept waiting. Although we were out in plenty of time we still felt slightly pressured.

We loved everything about Little Haven, it had so much character, was clean and comfortable and had a garden that I dream of having similar to one day! There were many wonderful walks from the doorstep and beaches just a short journey away. Perfect!

Lovely location - but I already knew how beautiful West Somerset and Devon was going to be. The property is only a couple of miles from Dunster castle and village so I knew the location was going to be good! It is not often that you stay at a location on holiday and wish you could live there but I can honestly say that I felt that about Little Haven cottage - the clue's in the name!

The cottage was idyllic and so peaceful, being in the perfect place for walks straight out of the door into the woods of Exmoora very short drive to the beach. It was well equipped and full of character with a lovely sheltered enclosed garden which was safe to let our Jack Russell roam around in.

It would have been useful to have a selection of bedding as the duvets were rather warm for the unseasonably warm April we had when visiting.

Parking two cars was difficult at the property. Saying this, we were able to resolve this issue with the neighbour. If you have any mobility issues and need accessibility parking then unfortunately this is not available.

The location was second to none - very peaceful and a lovely dog friendly garden to enjoy - if it had been summer I am sure it would have offered everything you would wish for in a garden and location - the cottage was super clean and the facilities were great - due to the time of year the fireplace with gas fire was wonderful after a days househunting The towels and bathrobes provided were of a wonderful quality and would definitely recommend to friends and family

Cannot think of anything - the lock was a bit sticky on arrival and we were a bit worried we couldn't open the door as the keys were in a key safe - but a phone call to the host quickly resolved that issue
