About & Contact

A luxury thatched cottage with hot tub and garden

Pilgrim Corner is a spacious, luxury thatched cottage sleeping eight in four beautiful en-suite bedrooms. Each bedroom has its own character and a name that reflects its charm. Throughout the property you will find high-quality antique and modern furnishings, bedding and linens. We have Hypnos and hotel-standard mattresses to guarantee a great night's sleep.

Upstairs there’s ‘Vogue’ and ‘Peacock’, both king en-suites and with room for travel cots. Please let us know if you need a cot and we’ll put it for you and take it down when you leave. In the middle of these two rooms is our double, ‘Dance’. This smaller room has a shower the en-suite and a gorgeous window seat with views down Church Street and out to Exmoor. Downstairs is the Garden Room. This can be configured as a super king or twin – you choose.

There's a large living room with wood burning stove, HDTV with Netflix and Sky and plenty of seating. The window seats are a real favourite with guests - the perfect spot to watch the comings and goings in this pretty and quiet conservation area at the top of Minehead. You’ll also find a cabinet with games in this room and DVDs. There are also toys and plenty of books in the cottage.

There's a well-equipped country-style kitchen with range cooker, dishwasher, fridge, microwave and everything you need to rustle up a wonderful meal - or indulge in a takeaway. Eat in the separate dining room, perfect for family meals as well as special occasions. In the adjacent utility room, you will find a fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble-drier.

Outside there's a gorgeous, large cottage garden with a pretty pathway to the hot tub. There’s a large terrace outside the back door where we recommend you dine al fresco. There’s also a higher terrace which is perfect for early evening drinks as it offers distant views to Exmoor.

We are child and dog-friendly. We provide baskets and throws, towels, bowls and mats for your four-legged friends – and a treat on the welcome tray.

Guests can load and unload their cars outside and then we advise you to park on Moor Road, a wide residential street offering free parking. It's 1 minute's walk away.

Exmoor is England's smallest National Park and extremely varied. To one side is the sea and inviting beaches, to another purple heather humming with bees on the moor.

Add to this magical ancient woods, fields and hills in a green tapestry, and sheltering villages peppered with thatched cottages. Ancient castles, stately homes and historical gardens abound. The steam and whistle of the puffing West Somerset railway seems to add the finishing touch.

It is also a dark skies reserve - and there's nowhere better to stargaze than from one of our hot tubs.

Lucy who owns the cottages wrote a book of walks and places of interest called 'The Little Book of Walks' to help guests decide where to visit. As a Premier Cottages guest, you will receive a free copy on your welcome tray to help you plan your stay - however long you are with us.

Reviews for Pilgrim Corner at Exmoor Character Cottages

Cottage Review logo

Meet the owner

Lucy Green

Owner Lucy bought The Oval, a medieval cottage in Dunster in 2008. She loved sharing her home with guests so much that by 2018 she had a portfolio of four character cottages in Exmoor. Today the team is as passionate as ever about offering beautifully furnished and decorated self-catering properties, where high spec appliances and high speed Wi-Fi sit alongside historical features such as thick walls, thatched roofs, squint windows, large fireplaces and cruck beams. Our properties are well-equipped with everything you need for a self-catering break. We provide toys, books, DVDs and games for children as well as stairgates, high chairs and travel cots. Dog owners will find bowls, baskets and mats and treats. We are especially proud of the high standard of our cleanliness and maintenance. Our gardens and hot tubs are loved by visitors. Lucy speaks to every guest before arrival to ensure the best possible experience. Whatever the time of year, and however long your stay, you will find a very warm welcome in all our cottages. We wish you a very Happy Holiday in Exmoor.
