How do I find you?

Heading north the simplest route is to take the M5 to Taunton (Junction 25), then take the A358 and A39 to Minehead. Heading south on the M5 you can follow the signposts for the A39 from Junction 24. You can't miss us; we're just half a mile along the seafront road from Minehead town centre.

Alternatively visit Multimap for details and directions.
