Situated in Englands West Country, Somerset is a county for all seasons. Awash with history, the region has attractions to suit all tastes from the long sweeping beaches of the coastal resorts to the Levels and Moors of the countryside where traditional crafts such as willow making are still practiced today. Much upgraded in recent years, Weston-Super-Mare still features all the traditional seaside attractions including the famous donkeys! The wide sweep of Weston Beach has miles of safe bathing and there is a level promenade boasting superb views over the Bristol Channel.
New for 2018, our base here is the family run SMITHS HOTEL which is located in an unrivalled position on the Promenade just a few minutes stroll from the town centre. Features of the hotel include a restaurant and comfortable lounge/bar in which to relax. All of the en suite bedrooms are attractively furnished and have tv, telephone and hospitality tray. There is evening entertainment each night and a passenger lift serves all floors.
