In a great location, this simple hotel gives good honest service and accommodation, it overlooks the beach and the train station, from which you can travel back in time on a steam train. The town is just down the road and for bigger shops, there are 3 supermarkets 10 minutes walk away. You can walk along the promenade in either direction, and a visit to the harbour is well worth the walk. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast, and has tea, coffee and cakes on sale during the day. Overall I think the hotel offers great value for money and a great location from which to enjoy Minehead.

Solid, but not spectacular.

The room was OK, a lot of noise from the room upstairs with very little sound deadening, old fashioned taps and the shower went hot and cold. But, a good breakfast and great location. Staff were great.

Absolutely amazing hotel and staff! Gorgeous hotel and room a couple steps away from the beach! I had to do an online interview on the day I checked out! They were very helpful, let me check out late and complete the interview in the office as I was having technical issues! I would definitely go back and stay at the hotel again! I had a wonderful experience during this stay!

Fantastic hotel

The Beach Hotel is virtually on the station platform. To wake up to smell of the steam form the engines. No smoke in your room! They are not noisy as they dont start up early morning or late at night. Every thing is within walking distant or mobility scooter. The Beach hotel has no lift. Rooms are easy to scooter around. The food is fantastic no faults at all. It is run by the YMCA offering homeless people, people with Autism and special needs, they get a chance to earn hospitality skills to enable them to work in the wider places. Such a good place to start a holiday.

Disappointed

Booked and paid for a family room, double bed and sofa bed, turned up to just a double bed, my 18 year old son didn’t want to share a bed hence booking a family room, apparently fully booked so split a double bed into 2 singles. Very disappointed as very small beds.

The Beach Hotel is a social enterprise run by the YMCA as an apprenticeship scheme. In light of this we had quite modest expectations for our stay. But these were misplaced - the hotel is spotlessly clean, and run by professional, welcoming staff. The occasion was a large family reunion, and the restaurant served us all with a good simple dinner in an efficient and timely way. Service was excellent. The location opposite the beach is delightful and quite quiet - and very convenient for the West Somerset Railway which is warmly recommended as an arrival route.
