CHILDREN WELCOME
Young children will love Blue Anchor. The beach stretches for miles and there is some really good sand when the tide drops back a bit.
On the doorstep…
West Somerset Railway runs steam trains several times a day for most of the year (plus a few diesels, but they don’t count in my book!). Blue Anchor Station is a few yards from the chalet, and the kids can take you on lovely old trains to Watchet and as far as Bishop’s Lydeard near Taunton, or via Dunster to Minehead.
A few minutes’ walk away is the Blue Anchor Hoburne holiday park. You can use the indoor pool, crazy golf or the kids’ playground:

The Driftwood café is even closer and caters for all of the family.
Home Farm at the other end of Blue Anchor beach has all sorts for everyone; loads of animals, tea room, farm shop and farm trail.
A bit farther out…
Watchet – see the boats in the Marina. Nearby Tropiquaria has something for all the family.
Dunster – historic village and castle.
Minehead – classic seaside town with many shops, cafes and amusements plus a Lifeboat station. Butlins is in Minehead, and they do day passes for the family.
At the chalet…
The simple design of the chalet makes it ideal for young families. The living room/bedroom is spacious and there is a small, enclosed paved area just outside the patio doors. The dining table and benches give plenty of room for indoor activities, and there is a TV with DVD player when all other ideas have dried up! There are a few books, games, DVDs and CDs in the cupboard.
And then there’s the beach…just a few feet from the patio doors…
