Blue Anchor is a small coastal hamlet in west Somerset, three miles from medieval Dunster. Blue Anchor, well known for its alabaster rocks which are of great geological interest, is a quiet and peaceful seaside location with a wide beach, plentiful fossils and a promenade three quarters of a mile long with scenic views of Dunster Castle and Minehead Bay beyond. Blue Anchor offers peaceful relaxation, is popular with anglers fishing off the promenade, and is just a short steam train ride on the West Somerset Railway from Minehead. The Blue Anchor station waiting room and booking office have been lovingly restored, using Great Western fittings, many of them originals to the station, and the Railway Museum is housed in the former waiting room. Walk along the beach from Blue Anchor to Dunster, enjoying the views across the channel towards Wales, and wander through the mediaeval streets with the beautiful castle towering above the village. Inside Dunster Castle there are fine plasterwork ceilings and the extensive terraced and landscaped gardens contain many rare shrubs and trees, and offer marvellous views out to sea, and towards the Quantocks. Further afield, Minehead has golden sandy beaches, seaside attractions for the visitor, and plenty of cafes, shops and bistros.

Previous visitors' comments about The Rest:
Terrific welcome, everything we needed was there and the dogs had a brilliant time. We would definitely go there again and it's worth noting that the Smugglers has the best selection of gins that I have ever seen.
Mr Robinson, Wrexham, March 2013
A warm cottage welcome with flowers, tea tray, sweets and doggie mat and treats. Lots of hot water and generally warm for the time of the year with no extra cost for heating etc.
