The large lounge/dining room has ceiling fans, 28" widescreen colour TV, DVD player (with selection of films) and some satellite channels. You can relax on fully reclining 3 seater and 2 seater sofas.
You can again enjoy the south-westerly views and watch the steam trains chugging along the valley through the sliding door which leads to the sunny patio area at the front. In the dining area there is another sliding door leading to a shaded patio area, which is a lovely place to sit on hot sunny days. A gas barbecue and garden furniture have been provided for outdoor eating.
The chalet has full gas central heating so you can be sure of a warm and cosy stay. Prices are inclusive of all fuel and all linen.
This is a very peaceful place for a relaxing break. You can see buzzards soaring above, badgers visiting in the evening, squirrels playing in the garden and listen to the owls at night.
Smoking inside the chalet is not allowed but there is an undercover area in the garden where it is permitted.
Local Area
Blue Anchor Bay is a very quiet and peaceful place where you feel you have gone back in time.
Sitting on the Bristol Channel you can see the Welsh coastline to the north and it is nestled between Exmoor, the Brendon Hills and The Quantocks. From here there are wonderful walks either along the beach, through the countryside or on the cliff tops.
The West Somerset Steam Railway passes through and Blue Anchor has its own station. There are several steam fayres throughout the year.
You can fish from the sea wall or the beach and catch prawns in the rock pools at the eastern end of the bay, and look for fossils.
There is a swimming pool at Hoburne Holiday Park on the seafront, which is open to the public seven days a week.
There are two pubs in Blue Anchor; The Smugglers does wonderful food and is an exceptionally good pub with an open fire burning in the winter. Or, you can enjoy the wonderful views across the bay from the Blue Anchor Inn’s garden, and watch amazing sunsets with a sundowner.
Also there are two very good cafes: A visit to the Driftwood is recommended. This is an old fashioned, white weatherboard, seafront cafe where you can eat either inside, on the veranda or in the garden overlooking the sea.
Minehead is just along the coast and has all the fun of a holiday resort, together with good shopping, harbour, twice weekly general market and a Farmers Market every Friday selling local produce.
Watchet is just 2 miles east of Blue Anchor and is a quaint little town with its own Marina.
Dunster is close by and is a medieval village with a beautiful castle.
Exmoor is on our doorstep with its breathtaking scenery and National Trust villages.
Also within an hours drive are Porlock Village, Lynton, Lynmouth and the Quantock Hills.
