+The setting was great. Plenty of room for our party of 12. Jamie was friendly and welcoming. Lovely views of the sunrise and sunset over the sea.
−Some of the beds were a bit small.

“A welcoming, relaxing place to spend quality time with friends and family - plenty to do and see!”
+The location and surroundings are excellent. The gardens are well looked after and it was very private and relaxing, especially with the view of the sea and Minehead beach. There was a lovely place to sit and have a fire - with access to logs - but the weather was too hot to make use of this! The communal rooms; lounge, dining/piano room and kitchen were spacious and comfortable - adequate for our needs. The piano and instruments were much appreciated. Everybody had clean, pleasant bedrooms too. The host Jamie and his son Tom were very friendly and extremely helpful and obliging. It was a short walk [10 mins] to the beach and seafront - with a nice swimming spot at high tide. We also enjoyed exploring the charity and antique shops. We had a very nice meal at the Old Ship Aground overlooking the harbour.
−There was only a TV in the family room at the top of the house, however we did bring a monitor for our teenagers to watch films on in the evening and set this up in the lounge. We appreciate it may not be a necessity for others and watching TV was our preference. No dishwasher when we visited.

“A charming family home full of character and interesting things.”
+The house is delightful and has a wonderful atmosphere of warmth and charm. It is a great space for large groups with a huge dining room, large kitchen table, 3 sofas in the sitting room and plenty of large pots and pans to cook up big feasts. The location is great being a short walk into Minehead and the beach or follow the footpath at the back of the house onto Exmoor. There is a seating area at the end of the garden that has a great view of the sea. The parking area easily accommodated our three cars and the host was lovely.
−I would have liked to know when booking that the host stayed in a separate flat on site but Jamie was very discreet and we were left to ourselves so it didn't bother us at all and he was also quick to respond to any questions.

“Minehead magic”
+Was in a group of 11 for a 70th birthday so we had the whole house. The "top" table vantage point was amazing in the evening. Glass of wine overlooking the whole of Minehead bay. What the house may have lacked in 5 star facilities it more than makes up for in character. Our whole group thought it was perfect for our purposes and we're planning on doing it again.
−There was nothing we didn't like because we knew it wasn't going to be Buckingham Palace. Jamie the owner was very helpful and obliging prior to us arriving.

“We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Church Path House and had the best time ever !!”
+We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at Church Path House and had the best time ever !! We went with our sons and wives, granddaughters and partners great-granddaughter and Danny the dog 😊 The House was huge with 6 en-suite bathrooms, an enormous kitchen/breakfast room, a large dinning/sitting room and separate library with views over Minehead beach. There were 3 main outside seating areas, including one with a firepit for evening chats with a glass or two of wine. Jamie was an excellent host. We will definitely be re-visiting this super holiday home.

“Comfortable, charater filled home. Great location for getting on the South West Coast Path.”
+Quirky, spacious and interesting. Lived in feeling, cosy and full of character. Loved the open fires, generosity with logs and kindling. Comfy beds and location. The garden and views from the outside seating were perfect. Lovely pub in walking distance.
−Whilst it was well equipped and the host was helpful it isn’t the cleanest of homes. Clean bed linen and towels - the important stuff. But things had been missed when we arrived and the kitchen equipment we cleaned before using. Not a deal breaker and would not put us off recommending this lovely place.

“A very special place.”
+Jamie is a wonderful host who was communicative, easy going and tremendously helpful. Church Path house is the perfect place to relax in an amazing building full of treasures and enjoy the wonderful location with everything you could need close by. We didn't want to leave.

“A wonderful stay in a big home full of character”
+We absolutely loved staying in Church Path House! Don't expect a shiny, soulless airbnb - it's a real house full of character and beautiful furniture and decoration. It's lived in but extremely comfortable and very well stocked with everything you'll need, especially in the kitchen. The garden is huge with a terrace perfect for morning coffee, and Jamie was a very friendly and helpful host. We found our stay extremely relaxing, especially as the house was so quiet. Another plus was the very short walk to local shops and the sea.

“Great spot for a family get together with plenty of space without the mod cons”
+Great location, we felt like we stepped back in time and loved the quirkiness of the place. The piano and box of musical instruments were great fun in the evenings and we had a proper old school holiday drinking wine on the terrace, walking on the front and playing games. We will def be back again.
