    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!

Property information

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. 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.

Neighbourhood information

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.
