Very pretty quaint setting
Minster is a very small village not far from the coast and local amenities. Those who have stayed have commented on the beautiful scenery and have been very happy with the location. Those who would prefer to walk can easily get around without a car.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Only breakfast in the room and expired food
The breakfast included is continental and supplied in the rooms for guests to self serve. The owners have a restaurants down the road where a cooked breakfast can be arranged however those staying, have been very disappointed and have said it would put them off coming back. Others have found jams and cereals out of date in the rooms.
negative:
Low quality bathrooms
The bathrooms have been described as small and dated. Guests have suggested new bathrooms as feel they are not the quality they should be for the prices charged. The showers in some rooms are so small guests have been forced to take a bath.
negative:
Towels not changed
The towels are not changed daily and some previous guests have had to ask for fresh ones. The families who have stayed in the cottage for longer weekends have not been happy as they would have expected fresh linens/towels each day of their stay.
