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.

Very nice property very nice staff good breakfast great position right by the beach comfortable beds

Breakfast was cooked to order and excellent. Our room overlooked the prom and the west Somerset rail steam line station, which was very nice. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hard to fault really

The hotel listing did not match the offering provided by the hotel. After a day of driving 300 miles, all I need from a hotel is a restaurant and decent room. The listing did not state the food service stopped at 3pm, which is not ideal for when working away. The downstairs is not setup for guests to lounge and the bar shuts at 9pm. The room was basic and spacious. Bed comfortable but the shower was a bath mixer which was hard to regulate the temperature.

Great location, and I love the aim of the project! The room was a good size, very comfortable but because of the age of the building it lacks A/C. Opening the window made the room fresh and breezy, but a bit noisy as it looks out onto the main street

Très bien situé proche de la plage à deux pas de la rue où se situent les restaurants. Parking disponible au pied de l’hôtel gratuit. Sinon parking de la gare gratuit toute la nuit

The staff were very good. The room was good but very white could do with a bit of colour ( even just one wall ) Overall great view from our room and a great break. Cooked breakfast excellent. Pity they didn’t do evening meals

we were greeted with friendliness rooms were tidy no complaints bit tricky finding car parking not enough spaces and found no internet whether there was internet or not was not told about it but never the less would go back to the beach hotel again

Lovely place right on seafront, staff really helpful, perfect location

Pretty basic but had everything you could need. Staff very friendly and keen to help. Bed was a bit creaky and shower was not good (temp and power inconsistent). But very well located near the heritage railway and coast path.

Beds were very comfy and the food was good. I had an omelette which was delicious with cheese, bacon and mushroom served with an english muffin. Lots of cereal to choose from and croissants.

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.

I liked the hotel because of the location right by the sea and beach was very nice! Breakfast was decent quality too! Service was great , staff were nice and helpful too!

Need more car park spaces

We stayed 2 nignts in a family room with sea view. It was clean and cozy. We will definitely come again.

We stayed for only one night. In the deluxe double room. The sea view was great, the room was clean and very spacious. Two down sides, walls were very thin, we could here everything from the room next door; the shower was quite poor, it workshy hold a constant temperature. Staff and breakfast were great.

Would definitely recommend starting at The Beach Hotel. Clean and comfortable room, good choice of delicious breakfast and friendly and efficient staff.

We went midweek in july 2025. Plenty of on street parking, with a blue badge is free. Nice shopping street, a stones throw from the sea front and beach and the station. For steam trains. Hotel was lovely, renovated, very nicely done. We booked deluxe double, it was very big, really lovely, sea front , perfect. Minehead is close to the moor, short drive up to viewing points. Excellent fish and chips next to the station. Not been to minehead for decades and was pleasantly surprised how nice theyve made it especially the sea front. All dog friendly including the hotel. Would recommend.

The only thing we didn't like about this hotel was the limited parking at the hotel however saying that the nearby local station (tourist train) is free parking between 6pm and 9am so it wasn't a problem and we paid for an additional couple of hours the following morning at a cost of £2.50. Dog friendly though the room was a bit warm. Even with the windows open it was quite quiet outside. Also its at the end of the beach that is also dog friendly. Staff were friendly room pretty large. The shower was excellent good strong flow of hot water. Large pretty good quality all English breakfast. The Hotel is far enough away from the Butlins end that its not too busy.

Lovely stay. Staff really pleasant.
