Review 82：We needed a night's accommodation on our way to Plymouth and are very pleased that we booked at the Parks Guest House. Sarah and Bryan were very accommodating,friendly and welcoming. The room and the breakfast were faultless. The location was great for us and we both agreed that Minehead has a lot to offer for a future stay.We had a fantastic fish and chips supper at the Pips Fish Restaurant and sat on the beachfront watching the sun set over North Hill. It was delightful. When we come back we will bring our dogs with us and will definitely like to stay here again.

Review 83：Bryan and Sarah are fantastic hosts, and helped to ensure that our first visit to Somerset won't be our last! Dog-friendly accommodation available, with sausages and bacon as an added bonus. Tasty and fulfilling breakfasts too. Room was immaculate, with treats for guests human and canine. Easy access to Minehead 'city centre,' the coast, and Exmoor. First-class customer service from Sarah and Bryan - a welcome and refreshing change from the norm.

Review 93：In Minehead for WSR. Comfortable room and beds, spacious, very helpful and friendly place, made us feel more welcome than family (you know how family can be)
