Comfortable bed, not a lot of choice on main menu, breakfast even worse. Ideally situated for exmoor or the beach, reasonable value for money. Pizzas good if on a Thursday. Conveniently placed for amenities. Exmoor is a beautiful part of the world and well worth a visit

Good centrally located hotel with parking, room and bathroom were adequate, our window could not be opened and as the weather was warm, our room was hot. There was a fan but it was noisy at night. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Only about 200 yards from the seafront

The room was small but clean and quiet considering it was located above a bar. It had all the essentials we needed and it was very reasonably priced. The location is a huge plus. Just a short walk to the beach and all the main attractions.The one downside was the breakfast. It was quite disappointing. The options were limited, not healthy options and the quality of food wasn't great and not fresh.

Delivered what it said on the box! Well done to owners, management and staff - you all played your part. Breakfast set me up for the day 👍 Basic requirements for simple bedroom and shower fully met. Central position and car parking an additional bonus👏

The menu isn’t gourmet and won’t challenge the taste buds too much but this place offers a good all round menu, the food and drink are a reasonable price and the staff are friendly and helpful. ||If you are looking for decent pub grub in the heart of minehead - then Stones is an good choice.

We have just finished our holiday and this was a lovely place to stay .Room was spacious and clean , nice shower and a separate bedroom area which was ideal for our 17 year old son . Breakfast was well presented and appetising and an ideal way to start the day. Must commend the staff they were so polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble . Would recommend to anyone looking for accomodation in Minehead .A thoroughly enjoyable experience and a big thank you to management and staff.
