Marston Lodge Hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Marston Lodge, which is situated in a beautiful, quiet area of Minehead, high up North Hill and adjacent to St Michael’s Church. Our room had great views over the town, out to sea, and inland to Exmoor and the Quantock Hills. The room itself was comfortable, clean and spacious. Because of Covid restrictions, the hotel currently offers only a limited range of breakfast options, delivered to outside guests’ rooms. However, we prefer to make our own arrangements for breakfast, so we weren’t affected by the restrictions. We found the owners to be very kind and helpful. Although we had already planned our own walks and excursions, we appreciated the knowledgeable advice offered on local sights and places of interest.

Booking a few nights away for a birthday treat and wanted something different then a normal chain run hotel. I was drawn in by the great reviews and stunning photos, I had to see it for myself and I was not disappointed one bit. The rooms were huge, very comfortable and large bed. The views were stunning, one side the beach and ocean and to the other the mountains of Exmoor. Very close to everything around, with a host of restaurants moments away. Free car parking is a huge bonus! The host that looked after us during our stay was fantastic. He accommodated us with a change of room to allow us to have a larger bed (Due to the height). Fantastic knowledge of everything around, which showed just how much passion he has for his home and area. Breakfast was fantastic. Fresh ingredients cooked with love. Working in a butchers for 13+ years I have become quite picky with Sausages and bacon and eggs, but hands down the best quality ingredients I've tasted in a hotel before. Everything cooked while your at the table and comes to you piping hot and the lovely shapped butter on the table was a lovely touch. A lovely section of cereals and breads and tea's to start your morning off. If you get the chance to stay here, I would advise to ask the Host for his secret map of Exmoor and all the wonderful places to see! Wonderful stay, wonderful hosts. I'd love to come visit again!!

what. a. view! but not only this - the place is gorgeous, the accommodations are very cozy, everything works perfectly and the style is positively charming. if I could, I'd give an extra star just for the breakfast: the best of all b&b's we experienced in the UK. the patron was always warm and helpful - our trip certainly would not have been the same without his local hints.
