Hotel Stones (Minehead, United Kingdom)

When staying at The Stones, visitors enjoy convenient access to a variety of bars, cafes, and restaurants—many of which feature splendid seafood dishes, with produce gathered from local suppliers. Also within walking distance of the hotel, guests find theatres, galleries, and a few museums.

Not only are visitors enthused by the encompassing city-life, but The Stones is only a brief, five-minute walk from the sea. Locations ideal for the entire family, including swimming, boating, and fishing, abound throughout the area. Transportation depots are also within easy reach, making traveling to neighboring towns a subtle commute.

From the initial moment of arrival, you will be met by attentive and courteous personalities. Reception, merely a preamble to the degree of hospitality, provide guests with complimentary tea and coffee. Hotel personnel in other resident areas uphold synonymous standards of service. Staff are even eager to assist with carrying your luggage.

However plentiful and diverse in option, previous visitors have expressed their discontent with the untimely restaurant service. Some have reported waiting upward of twenty-five minutes for the arrival of their order. Service can be especially slow during the busier seasons.

While The Stones provides guests with comfortably furnished sleeping arrangements—en-suite and integrated with modern facilities—some guests may be at odds with the level of noise extending well into the evenings. Between the bar and the late-night passersby, some guests may experience disruptive sleep.

Although one’s overall experience at The Stones Hotel rarely fails to impress, some guests may find the bedding in some rooms to be a bit uncomfortable. As some rooms contain older, lumpier mattresses, sleep may not be sound.
