Built in the 1890's Metropole Court was originally a renowned hotel until it was converted to flats in the 1950's. Our newly refurbished (2008) holiday flat is situated on the ground floor and is reached via a magnificent entrance hall and its own secure front door.

The accommodation comprises two large bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom (with bath and shower) and impressive lounge which was originally a dining hall when the building was a hotel. All rooms except the bathroom have spectacular views of Minehead beach and harbour and the sea. The beach is opposite the entrance to Metropole Court. Less than 2 minutes walk away is the start of The West Somerset Railway and the beginning of Minehead high street which despite having some famous names such as W H Smith, Boots and Woolworth's retains its charm as an old seaside shopping street.

In the accommodation itself are two large TV's and video/DVD players as well as the usual self catering facilities. Bed linen is provided.

 Accommodation

The Metropole Hotel was built in 1892 at an exciting time for Minehead. It was an exclusive hotel frequented by the wealthy including visiting maharajahs from India who came to play polo at Dunster. It was converted to flats in 1953. 34, Metropole Court is a very large two bedroom ground floor flat. It is accessed via a secure entrance at the front of the building through a grand hallway with sweeping staircase as a reminder of its illustrious past.

The largest bedroom has a superking size bed, wardrobe, dressing table and large screen TV. The second bedroom has two single beds and a chest of drawers. There is also one foldaway single bed which can be wheeled into either bedroom. The significant lounge, which was originally a dining room in the hotel, has two leather sofas, antique coffee table, dining table and chairs and large screen TV.

The kitchen contains an electric cooker and hob, microwave, kettle, toaster and all associated self catering items. All of these rooms look out on to The Esplanade with spectacular views of the beach and the sea immediately opposite. The bathroom has a large corner bath and shower as well as WC and sink.
