Spacious luxury thatched cottage with private hot tub on the edge of Exmoor

Staying at Pilgrim Corner means slowing down and feeling comfortable from the moment you arrive. This spacious, thatched cottage feels elegant and calm, with thick walls and a thoughtful layout that works well for families, small-group celebrations, or relaxed breaks with friends. There is a natural sense of privacy and warmth that makes it easy to settle in and feel at home. The living spaces are generous and comfortable, with room to relax together at the end of the day. A wood-burning stove adds to the atmosphere during cooler months, making the cottage especially inviting for autumn and winter stays. The house feels peaceful and quiet, even when fully occupied.

The kitchen is well equipped for real cooking, whether you’re preparing simple meals or something more special, and works just as well for longer stays as it does for short breaks. Each of the four en-suite bedrooms is comfortable and well proportioned, designed for a good night’s sleep, and the solid construction of the cottage helps keep everything calm and settled.

Outside, Pilgrim Corner benefits from a large private garden, giving plenty of space for children, dogs, and outdoor relaxation. The private hot tub is a favourite with guests and is particularly welcome after a day exploring Exmoor National Park or the nearby coast. It’s a place to unwind rather than entertain, fitting naturally with the relaxed feel of the property. The cottage is dog friendly and suits four-legged guests just as well as people, with space inside and out and easy access to walks in the surrounding area. We have been welcoming visitors to Pilgrim Corner since 2014 and take pride in offering a place that feels genuinely cared for, comfortable, and welcoming — somewhere you can arrive, unpack, and simply enjoy your stay.

About the area
Pilgrim Corner sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park, well placed for exploring both the moorland landscape and the Somerset coast. It is located in a quiet part of Minehead known as Higher Town, a designated conservation area with a timeless, village-like feel. From here, Minehead’s sandy beach and friendly high street and numerous pubs, restaurants and cafes are around 10 to 15 minutes away.

Exmoor itself is known for its walking, scenery, and historic villages rather than nightlife, making it ideal for guests looking for a slower-paced break. The location works equally well for active days out and for simply enjoying the peace and character of the surrounding area. This small national park offers miles of open countryside, coastal paths, and quiet lanes, while nearby picturesque villages provide traditional pubs, local shops, and places to eat. The coast is within easy reach for beach walks and seaside days, and the surrounding area works equally well for active breaks or simply enjoying the views and fresh air.

Guests often comment on how convenient the location feels — close enough to explore widely, but peaceful enough to properly switch off at the end of the day.
