This lovely Grade II listed cottage was built for the local Lime Kiln workers and is one of a terrace of cottages, which cluster around a charming chapel, frequented by the former landowner and still in use to this day. Quietly situated in the older quarter of Alcombe, itself on the outskirts of the popular resort of Minehead, North Devon the cottage is cosy and full of charm with an attractive lounge with feature fireplace, fitted with a gas fired stove, perfect for those chilly autumn evenings. However in this case cosy does not mean small and the cottage provides spacious accommodation for either a family of four or for a couple seeking out a romantic retreat. At the rear of the cottage the light and airy kitchen diner opens onto a secluded sunny rear walled courtyard whilst at the front a pretty cottage garden with seating is overlooked from the lounge. Upstairs two comfortable bedrooms allow for a restful night and the master bedroom has pretty views of the Bristol Channel and the coast of Wales. Minehead itself is a bustling seaside resort with plenty of inns and restaurants to satisfy both hunger and thirst, but these excesses can be exercised away by taking a leisurely or strenuous walk along the wonderful beaches or over the beautiful Exmoor National Park. Lose yourself for a day in the nearby historic village of Dunster overlooked by its brooding castle or hitch a ride on the West Somerset Steam Railway. There's so much to do with the benefit of a fantastic home from home to welcome you back in the evening.

"Our second time and as good as the previous visit. Different dog, who being much younger, appreciated all the walks, beach, forest or moorland. Wish we could retire! This is such a lovely cottage, in a lovely area!"  April 2011

"....our spirits lifted immediately when we discovered the location of the cottage and the cottage itself, both of which surpassed all expectations. We immediately felt very welcome and the cottage, which we found beautifully presented and equipped with everything we could possibly need. The welcome pack was very much appreciated (the bread was amazing!) and even the dog was included. We've had a lovely week which has flown by...." July 2011

"'Welcome!' said Lime Cottage, as soon as we opened the front door. We've enjoyed a bit of Somerset magic thanks to our generous hosts. Thank you both for all the little extras that just made Christmas PERFICK! Now we are plotting to do a bit of squatting!" December 2011
