The Blue Anchor

Stunning, peaceful location. A really lovely getaway. Sea views and sunsets were beautiful. A real home from home. Great communication with owners. Easy to get to Minehead and local amenities. Can't wait to return. Best prices if you book direct. Thanks so much Cara and Marcus

We recently stayed at Anchor's Drop with over 20 of our family and friends to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. We were the first guests they had and we couldn't have had a better time! Anchor's Drop is an incredible venue, and having it all to ourselves was amazing. From the real pub bar area, to the 2 giant hot tubs, to the incredible retro games room, the whole place has everything you could need. There's a BBQ, a full catering kitchen, a large dining area, numerous lovely bedrooms and bathrooms, a whole apartment, and a beautiful outdoor area. The only thing better than the pub is the hosts, Cara and Marcus. They made sure that we had everything we needed for the entire of our stay. No request was too much - they were always on hand to help in any way possible, but also gave us all the privacy we needed. They are a credit to the venue, and the venue is a credit to them. They have put so much work into making the pub a special retreat and it really shows. We would absolutely, highly recommend staying here for large gatherings or parties - you won't regret it! Thanks again Cara and Marcus x Rooms: The rooms are all well equipped, decorated nicely and keep the original character of the old pub. Most are en suite, with a few having a separate, but private bathroom. The master suite is incredible, with amazing views, a separate lounge, and a huge balcony. The apartment is also amazing, with it's own kitchen and lounge. Nearby activities: Anchor's Drop is right on the beach - perfect for walks. Minehead is a short walk. But there's almost no reason to stray too far from the extensive grounds. Food & drinks: Bring your own food and drink. Cara and Marcus are happy to arrange anything you need, including barrels for the bar and accepting deliveries of food before you arrive. There is a full catering kitchen and ample fridge, freezer and storage space. Dishes, glasses, cutlery and utensils are all provided. Noteworthy details: The outdoor area is amazing. There's 2 hot tubs, one big one and a gigantic swimming pool style hot tub. Relaxing in them while looking out over the channel is bliss! The games room has pinball machines, arcade machines, a pool table, an old jukebox and a dance machine. There's also a karaoke and jukebox in the main bar, with a sound system throughout.

After hearing it was open again and doing food, I wasnt expecting anything amazing, but I was really pleasantly surprised. The food was fabulous! Great menu choices and really delicious home cooked style food! Better food here than we have ever had previously in the many years of visiting the pub! The people on the bar and serving team were really friendly. The views and environment were great. The only thing missing was something to occupy my 3 yr old while waiting for the food. Will be back soon!
