Marston Lodge Coast and Country House Hotel
Welcome

Marston Lodge Hotel in Minehead provides visitors to the wilds of Exmoor and Somerset’s rugged coastline with a warm and welcoming launch pad to both explore and relax. Located in the picturesque 12th century ‘North Hill’ area of Minehead, Marston Lodge Hotel is ideally situated as a base from which to explore, Exmoor, north Devon and the west coast of Somerset.

Formerly an impressive and elegant, Edwardian gentleman’s residence (built circa 1900), Marston Lodge Hotel  retains much of its original character, charm and style.
 
Unique & BoutiqueMarston Lodge
  With twelve spacious and individually decorated ensuite rooms, you can be sure of a relaxing stay amidst period elegance and charm.

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast alongside stunning views across Minehead, the West Somerset Heritage Steam Railway to Exmoor and the distant majesty of the Quantock hills.
         

You needn’t travel far to find a way to spend your evening.

Marston Lodge Hotel offers simple home cooking and a relaxing bar with a terrace and views across Minehead to the Quantocks.

The food is a blend of traditionally English dishes with added European flair! Simple and tasty, just the thing after a long day on Exmoor. After dinner why not enjoy a frame of snooker in the hotel’s billiard room or relax by the fire with a good book in the guest’s sitting room.

 
Being amongst the first private residences built on Exmoor’s scenic North Hill, above Minehead, Marston Lodge Hotel, enjoys unrivalled panoramic sea views from most of the rooms.

Fabulously situated on the wooded slopes of picturesque North Hill, Marston Lodge Hotel stands proud with commanding views south over Minehead town and Exmoor’s forested, moor topped foothills.

To the east, the hotel overlooks the spectacular beaches and coastline from Blue Anchor Bay to the greens of the West Somerset and Minehead Golf links.

To the west, there is the imposing 11th century Norman, St Michael’s Church and the charmingly thatched cottages of Minehead’s ‘Higher Town’. North Hill and Exmoor National Park are scientifically classified as ‘a tranquil rural area’… one of only a few left in an increasingly crowded and noisy England.

Marston Lodge Hotel is therefore extremely tranquil with NO latent traffic noise and only the peel of church bells, the cry of seagulls, and the swish of the surf to disturb the peace and quiet … at night, our four local owls often serenade North Hill residents to a peaceful sleep.
