Exmoor bed and breakfast with sea views
. . . just minutes from the beach
 |
|
Camelot House is a classical
Edwardian home with glorious views of Exmoor and the
Somerset coast. Situated in Blue Anchor Bay, just
4 miles from Minehead, we are a stone’s throw
from the sea, the West Somerset Railway and a short
walk from the local shop / newsagent, beach café and
two pubs.
Your hosts, Wendy and Ashley, look forward to welcoming
you into their home which has been thoughtfully
renovated. We have taken
care to combine an informal atmosphere with a high
standard of B&B accommodation in 4 individually
decorated en-suite bedrooms. |
Nestled on the edge of Exmoor National Park, one of the great unspoilt expanses of wildernesses in England where red deer and Exmoor ponies roam, our accommodation is also perfect for exploring the Quantocks and Brendon Hills or for visiting the Victorian seaside resort of Minehead, the medieval village of Dunster and its towering Castle or Watchet’s ancient port.
Keen walkers will find an extensive network
of waymarked paths with the coast path running
through Blue Anchor Bay. |

An enviable Somerset location for exploring Exmoor, taking
a steam train on The West Somerset Railway or relaxing
on the beach |
