Camelot House is a classical
Edwardian home with glorious views of Exmoor and the
Somerset coastline which are hard to beat. Situated on the coast in Blue Anchor Bay, just
a few miles from Dunster and Minehead, we are a stone’s throw
from the sea, the West Somerset Steam Railway and a short
walk from the local shop, beach café and
two pubs.
Your hosts, Wendy and Ashley, have taken
care to combine an informal atmosphere with a Gold Award
standard of B&B accommodation in 4 individually
decorated en-suite bedrooms. The mature garden at Camelot House provides another area of relaxation.
