About this property
Tús Nua is an eco friendly, family welcoming detached property, set in a small, residential cul-de-sac in the village of Carhampton, just four miles from Minehead. Ideal for a family break near the beach or a get-together with friends, this property has a spacious kitchen and dining area, a lovely spot for enjoying an evening meal. The sitting room enjoys views of the large, lawned garden through the French doors. Swings and a slide allow the little ones to burn off some energy, whilst the rest of the party keep an eye on them as they discuss what attractions they'd like to visit. There is also a secure garden shed with ground anchor for bikes within the lockable rear garden, and a hose for cleaning up after a day out biking or at the beach. All this before venturing upstairs to enjoy a good night's sleep in one of the three cosy bedrooms. With an enclosed garden and a cul-de-sac setting, Tús Nua cottage is ideally suited to those travelling with young children. This seaside location is just a very short drive to the coast and lovely beaches, including the beach at Minehead. The coastal town of Minehead is also ideal for those who enjoy a spot of shopping, great for bringing back souvenirs to remind you of your Somerset holiday. Guests can also enjoy a ride on the West Somerset Railway, a wonderful steam railway in Minehead that will transport you back in time whilst getting to see the stunning sights and scenery of Somerset from a different viewpoint. For those who want to discover the surrounding area on foot, Exmoor National Park is the ideal spot. This open moorland will draw you in to uncover all that it has to offer. This holiday home is the perfect spot for discovering Somerset and for making holiday moments to remember.
Carhampton is a village close to the Exmoor National Park, with a church, pub, village store and Post Office. There are lovely walks from the village, over the deer park to Dunster, and through farmland to the beach. The village is less than 4 miles from the seaside resort of Minehead, which occupies a sheltered spot beneath the dramatic North Hill, on the West Somerset coast.

The owner is very helpful and has put a lot of effort into making sure you have everything you need to enjoy your stay. It is easy to find and in a peaceful, quiet setting. We found it just a little too warm at night but didn't contact the owner who would have been only too happy to turn the heating down for us. There is plenty of cupboard and storage space and the beds are comfortable.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed. 2 older people in our party struggled getting up from very soft sofa but not a problem to younger members. Very warm at night even though we turned the heating down. Fantastic play equipment in garden for our 5 year old. In nice area central to places of interest
