  • Family-run site in Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
  • Sea views; a 15-minute drive to the edge of Exmoor National Park
  • Swimming pool, bar-restaurant, tennis and boules on site
Views, glorious views… the area surrounding award-winning St Audries Bay Holiday Club near Minehead is the setting for splendid Somerset sights. The park is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at the foot of the Quantock Hills, it's a short drive from beaches on the Somerset coast and has views across the Bristol Channel to Wales: bring your camera. That setting is a most handy one for getting out and about too: hikers can head up into the Quantock Hills or expand their horizons to the nearby Exmoor National Park. Both Bridgwater and Taunton are on the M5 15 miles away, and you can hit the sands of Minehead with a drive of about 25 minutes. St Audries Bay has been family-owned and run since 1933 and has picked up a goodly handful of awards along the way, so it’s safe to assume they know what to lay on for guests of all ages whatever the weather: among the options on offer are tennis, boules, fishing, an adventure playground and a swimming pool. On site, there is also the Sundowner Bar and Restaurant, a family- and dog-friendly place that has stunning sunsets and views across the Bristol Channel.

What customers say

Great site, clean & tidy, staff are legends. Awesome sea views, flat spots, top facilities (pool, showers!). Faves for families & dogs (play park, dog run). Some say it's a bit dated, fewer bits open off-peak. Beach access is closed from storm damage, a real bummer for some.

STEVEN P.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Quietness of the site, the facilities, very dog friendly. Bit remote but easy enough to get to local sights and attractions.

Disliked No water hook up.
Work going on onsite that made emptying grey and loo water difficult, support slabs could have been put in place for containers, only temporary inconvenience until work complete.
No wifi for tourers.

Disliked Building works going on right next to our pitch. They weren’t active during our stay, but our view was a huge mound of earth instead of the sea.
Beach is in accessible from the site.

Ian R.

Powered concrete and grass caravan site

Liked Nice size pitched, hard standing and a bit of grass, very quiet.
Use of the bar, restaurant and swimming pool (but check times).
Nice clean toilet and shower block.
Walking distance to the Windmill Pub (25 mins)

Disliked Shower heads were small and water flow didn't help, so showering wasn't as good as I'd have liked, but it was functional and I managed to shower!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you, we hope to see you again 😊

Local attractions

Pick up a safari tour at Dulverton or Dunster to see Exmoor’s wildlife in sit-down style, or take to your feet or wheels to explore the park’s walking and biking routes. Going there by night? Exmoor National Park is the first designated International Dark Sky Reserve in Europe: watch the stars at Haddon Hill or Wimbleball Lake, the first designated Dark Skies Discovery Site on Exmoor. The country park at Wimbleball is worth hanging around for a day or two too: it’s managed by the South West Lakes Trust and has an activity centre, trout fishery, bike route and nine-mile lake walk. Minehead, nine miles away from St Audries Bay, has a couple of record breakers: it’s the starting point of Britain’s longest walking trail, the South West Coast Path, and it has the country’s longest standard-gauge heritage railway, West Somerset Railway, starting at its station and running just over 20 miles to Bishops Lydeard. Weston-super-Mare is also within easy driving distance and has miles of clean beaches, a refurbished pier, a SeaQuarium, more donkeys and Britain’s only helicopter museum: give it a whirl. There are several other Somerset essentials to see within driving distance: cider farms at Taunton and Washford, two vineyards at Bridgwater, the Blackdown Hills to hike after the Quantocks, and famous Glastonbury and its abbey about 40 minutes’ drive away.
