“What a fabulous week – we so needed a break and this cottage in this location was just what the doctor ordered! Great walking (the Porlock Weir walk in The Little Book of Walks was ace), the Valley of Rocks is a must-see, Reeves restaurant in Dunster is great value and the food is fab. Thank you!”

“Super cottage, a really comfortable place for a relaxing week. We love the hot tub (of course), and the gentle stroll down to Minehead town. We recommend the cottage!! The garden was stunning, a great place to get lost in. The walk to Porlock Weir was hard but worth it and there are so many quaint villages to visit locally. The Old Ship Aground pub was the best place to eat. Thank you, Lucy and team, for a super holiday home.”

“What a great holiday! The cottage was very comfortable, with lovely little extras such as cake and information on where to go. We loved the garden, it felt magical. Brilliant walks and a great beach! Thank you.”

“We love the cottage and beautiful garden – just amazing. We had a super time, and all enjoyed it so much. Our dogs settled in very well and it was the first holiday for one of them. We think Minehead is great and have enjoyed it. Thank you for a lovely holiday, we hope to come again.”

“Pilgrim Corner is the perfect holiday cottage with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful and relaxing holiday. The beds are super comfortable! We particularly enjoyed the hot tub which is big and in such a private spot in the beautiful garden. The coast and Exmoor are stunning and we went for long walks most days and enjoyed the local restaurants and fish and chips! Thank you, we hope to return!”

“We have really enjoyed our stay. The house is fantastic – we all loved it! The weather was a bit ‘hit and miss’ but it didn’t dampen our spirits, and we have done plenty of exploring locally and further afield. Thank you for a lovely holiday.”

“Here again for a third time! And what a week to pick! A scorcher!! We made the most of the week just chilling in the garden and the hot tub. Looking forward to going to The Old Ship Aground tonight to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. Thanks again Pilgrim Corner for a wonderful stay.”

“A very comfortable cottage, well equipped, situated in a very peaceful location, though just a short drive to the town centre. Attractions such as Porlock, Porlock Weir, Lynton and Lynmouth, Dunster Castle and the West Somerset Railway are all within easy reach. It was great to have en-suite bathrooms for all the bedrooms. The garden is lovely, the lounge is furnished with comfy sofas and chairs, and the kitchen has everything you need. Parking is on a nearby side road, but you can pull up in front of the property to load or unload luggage or people, so it’s not a problem. We all enjoyed our stay and are happy to recommend Pilgrim Corner.”

“Such a beautiful home with so much thought and attention to detail. Absolutely love the garden…the most beautiful oasis…could have happily sat out in it all day! The hot tub was such an added bonus. Everything from the house to the garden is perfect. Beautiful walks, stunning countryside, and such welcoming friendly people. We definitely recommend the Dunster village walk with Jackie and a boat trip with Skipper Mike. We did the two-hour trip to Porlock Weir – a great time with stunning coastal scenes. We’re just all so sad to be leaving. Thank you!

“What a lovely cottage, beautifully decorated! The garden was so delightful – the colours exploded in the sunshine! We celebrated a ‘big’ birthday with a meal cooked by Ben the private chef which was scrumptious. We had lots of lovely days out walking and stopping off for cream teas. A fantastic week with family.”

“Thank you for a wonderful break in Pilgrim Corner, we really enjoyed our time here. Great location and we visited lots of nice places. A beautiful garden. Hopefully we will be back. Thanks again from all of us, and for the chocolate cake!”

“We have really enjoyed staying in the cottage. Very comfortable and in a great location. Loved the garden which is so beautiful and the hot tub which is so nice to relax in. We visited many beautiful spots – Tarr Steps, the Valley of Rocks and did the walk to Culbone Church which was amazing. Thank you from all of us.”

“Our annual [sometimes bi-annual] trips to Exmoor Character Cottages in Minehead has now become our own pilgrimage, with aptly named Pilgrim Corner the firm favourite, and just perfect in 2021 for some post-lockdown change of scenery and creative inspiration. Nestled amongst the tranquillity of Upper Town, not far from the door we found some new walks to North Hill that were just perfect for two inquisitive cocker spaniels. A little further afield, lunch at Tarr Farm Inn was culinary heaven cradled within the surrounding Exmoor hills. Everything about Pilgrim Corner is perfection that creates a real home away from home. The location for a wide variety of beach, woodland and riverside walks, the quality of the thatched cottage and all its amenities, the colourful garden, with the hot tub and wood burner on cold April evenings being the icing on a very moreish cake. Why else would we come back time and time again?”

“Our third visit to this beautiful cottage and again Lucy and her team did not disappoint. This time we were celebrating a very special birthday and the cottage was beautifully decorated with balloons and banners and even a bottle of bubbly in the fridge. I am a keen cook and know that when I come to Pilgrim Corner it will have everything I need to make a special dinner. Pet friendly, immaculately clean, Dunster Castle and the moors on your doorstep it’s perfect every time. Stunning cottage with every comfort from home with a beautiful garden and fabulous hot tub. We will return.”

“What can I say? A wonderful place to get away from it all. The rooms are beautifully furnished and styled, with no Ikea furniture anywhere. The garden is very sheltered, and beautifully maintained, with several seating areas hidden away, so it was possible to sit outside peacefully but still be out of earshot of the hot tub occupants. We took advantage of the Thirteen dine-at-home experience, both for a first night lasagne, and for a three-course blow-out. Both were fabulous, with easy-to-follow instructions on how to heat and plate up like Masterchef. Do try it if you can. And don’t hesitate to book Pilgrims Corner – it’s great!!”

“We think it is a wonderful place! We love the hot tub because of the bubbles. It was my favourite Christmas. I love how you decorated the house for Christmas. Five-star review out of five. We would love to come again!!!

“Another wonderful stay at Pilgrim Corner. The girls loved the hot tub! It was a very chilled week that was very much needed. Already booked again! See you soon.”

“Fabulous accommodation. Everything you need is provided in spades. Lovely garden for the dogs, we would highly recommend Pilgrim Corner to anyone looking to stay in this area. Steve was very welcoming, helpful and informative. A big thank you from all of us to all of you.”

“This was our third visit to Pilgrim Corner, and it has been as wonderful as ever. The attention to detail is always brilliant and the team has done a great job with all the COVID cleaning and prep. Thanks for the cake – we loved the hot tub!”
