The region Old Cleeve is a peaceful village on the edge of Exmoor National Park, tucked between the harbour town of Watchet and the seaside resort of Minehead along the A39. The village has a timeless feel, with thatched cottages, the medieval church of St Andrew's -- dating back to the 12th century and Grade I listed -- and quiet lanes winding through rolling farmland. The neighbouring hamlet of Washford, a short walk away, is home to Cleeve Abbey, one of the finest medieval monasteries in England, cared for by English Heritage. Despite the rural tranquillity, the village is well connected. Washford has two traditional pubs, a cider farm, and a station on the West Somerset Railway. The coastal hamlet of Blue Anchor, approximately one mile to the north, has a sandy beach, a beachfront pub, and a popular cafe. Watchet is approximately 3 miles east, with a working harbour, independent shops, cafes, and a museum. Minehead, approximately 6 miles west, has larger supermarkets (Tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl on the outskirts), petrol stations, and a range of high street shops. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Internet access ### Parking and transportation -

The cottage sits in peaceful grounds and has a superb view out to sea. The cottage was a really good size with the mod cons you need away from home.

So much so that we decided to stay an extra 2 nights, which Kay and Eric readily accommodated at very short notice even though it required a move to one of their other lovely cottages as The Pippins was already booked. The cottage itself is spacious and comfortable with stunning views, especially at sunset. Kay and Eric were warm, friendly hosts and a great source of local knowledge. There were so many scenic walks and tea room gardens nearby that it didn't matter in the slightest that lockdown was still partially ongoing. We will definitely be returning to this lovely cottage in beautiful Somerset again. ##### Anita K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marlyn M.
