Cottage
Copse Cottage is a small, 2-bedroomed cottage at The Hopcott, Alcombe, on the outskirts of Minehead, Somerset and right on the edge of Exmoor.
Renovated in 2017, our charming upside-down cottage looks like a small bungalow from outside, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the lower ground floor. Ideal for couples or families, we offer one double bedroom, and single beds in the second (3ft and 2ft 6in). We have a travel cot and high chair available, a stair gate, and a fire guard for use with our wood burner. In accordance with our enhanced cleaning regime, we prefer not to provide towels or tea-cloths, and will offer a discount if you bring your own.

Excellent Stay -3rd time at Copse Cottage
The Copse Cottage is amazing, comfortable, nice bed, pillows, TV. Kitchen has everything you need for a perfect stay.
Stayed with my cat and was comfortable for him also.
Janet is a perfect host, thoughtful and provides the best to improve your stay.
I am profoundly happy and amused after my 3rd time staying at Copse Cottage for long days.
For sure I recommend it!

Sweet cottage
Very nice cottage in a border of Minehead close to a beautiful forest ideal for hiking enthusiasts. Minehead centre is at 15min walk. It's quiet, perfect for relaxing holiday.

Lovely
A lovely quiet spot, a short walk into Minehead. Clean, had everything we needed. Parking was safe and very close by. Janet our host was excellent with communication.
We ran the West Country 50 mile ultra, the finish was close (very short drive) to the finish line so perfect for that and a bath!!, if that’s why you are looking for accommodation.

Christmas Break
A very sweet two storey cottage, with 'in keeping' furniture, fireside rug and wood burner. Up to date with heating, WIFI, and sattelite. Great walking area for dogs and families, through and around picturesque somerset villages and hamlets. Close to Minehead, Porlock and Dunsford.

Great dog-friendly, quiet comfortable cottage
We stayed a week for the third year in a row with our dog and this year brought my wife's elderly mother along. Great location -- a very short drive into the centre of Minehead, and on the road to Dunster and other attractions. We will be back!

Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately, as we and our housekeeper were away we had to use a stand-in housekeeper, who obviously didn't fully understand our requirements, we weren't aware and we have addressed this for the future.

Lovely cozy cottage
I booked this lovely cottage for my elderly mum and myself and it was perfect. The lovely upside down layout of the cottage was so cosy. There was everything you needed inside the cottage for a comfortable stay, with the addition of a log burner. The open plan aspect of the lounge area and kitchen added to the coziness of the property.
The location is perfect , just outside Minehead and not far from Porlock or beautiful Dunster . I would definitely recommend this cottage for couples and small families.
On return, my mum realised that she had left a jacket at the property, before I had time to contact Janet she had txt me and told me she had got mums jacket and willing posted it back to her . Thank you Janet

About the neighborhood
Ideally placed for walkers, (the lane outside the cottage leads directly on to Exmoor) and for the plentiful attractions that this beautiful area has to offer, including Dunster, Selworthy, Porlock, Watchet and of course lovely Minehead itself, with its quaint harbour, promenade, steam railway and of course Butlins at the far end of town, with its appeal as a day out for children.
