    We had a fantastic, relaxing trip and would highly recommend this caravan park. The location couldn't be better—it's right by the sea with stunning views, and it's just a quick 5-minute walk down to the beach. The site itself is very peaceful,...

  • Samantha

    The location is quiet, and the views of the sea are beautiful. With the quiet hours and only 6 park homes, it was the peaceful break we were looking for. Also dog friendly 2 mins down the hill to the beach was a real bonus. Local pub 5 mins walk...

    Been to Blue Anchor many times, beautiful views, slow paced. Anchors Drop is ideal for a slow paced break away. Plenty of walks. Dogs welcome is a bonus. Ticks all the boxes. The small shop is a great idea. Definitely booking again for next year....

    Self catering and the facilities were ideal. Really nice break for 3 days in a location with great views and near enough to Minehead for supplies. Owners were most helpful.

Welcome to Anchor's Drop – a unique coastal getaway located in Blue Anchor, nestled between Minehead and Watchet. Formerly known as the Blue Anchor Hotel, this charming property has been transformed to offer a range of accommodations suitable for different group sizes and preferences. We offer a selection of 6 self-catering Holiday Homes (Static Caravans) which are provided on a room-only basis with tea and coffee making facilities, but no catering amenities. For larger gatherings, the main building is available for exclusive group bookings, accommodating up to 22 people comfortably (or up to 40 if needed). This option includes access to a spacious games room, the former bar, dining area, and a fully equipped kitchen and a luxury swim spa and hot-tub in our cliff-top garden. Additionally, we have a 4-bedroom apartment within the main building for those seeking a more private stay. Please be aware that the property spans two floors with no lift access, making it less suitable for guests with mobility challenges. The hot tubs and garden area are exclusively available to guests who book the main building or the apartment. While the sea defense and cliff works have now been completed, our on-site bar and restaurant will remain closed throughout 2024. However, all accommodations are still available for booking, and we are currently accepting reservations for our Holiday Homes and the main building for large group stays.
