We have visited Minehead regularly over the years for short breaks and always make a point of walking in Blenheim Gardens to see the lovely flower beds and trees . The gardens are a credit to the local council especially when resources are limited and also to the staff who obviously take great pride in their work and the resulting facility.

Reviewed By tinadewberry - Dorset, United Kingdom
We had an amazing weekend celebrating a birthday.We were lucky enough to be upgraded for free from a twin chalet to a 4 birth apartment.This meant we had lots of extra space including a lounge,kitchen/dinner.Lots of great bands all weekend as well as silent discos,comedy show,swimming and plenty of restaurants/dinners to choose from. Only downfall was that our apartment was tricky to find when first arriving and it was up 3 flights of outdoor steps,difficult to manouvere with heavy bags. However this was over ruled by the qaulity of entertainment ,to the point that we rebooked for later in the year
