The Beach Hotel

The Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A friend and I stayed here for one night as part of a tour of the south west, and really enjoyed it. Our room had a beach view with a large bay window, and the room itself was comfortable. We experienced a warm welcome from the moment we entered the building, with the attendant on reception going out of his way to check if our room was ready, to allow us to check in early. We were asked what we would like for breakfast the previous evening, to make it easier for the apprentices working in the kitchen and we opted for the full English - this was great. Minor points, but there appears to be no dinner service (there are plenty of options nearby however) and the WiFi didn’t extend to our room, but this wasn’t a huge deal. We would stay again."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a beach hotel in Washford cost?
Prices for beach hotels in Washford vary, but you can find a great deal from £47 on Expedia. You're likely to find lower rates if you're travelling during the off-peak season or mid-week. Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Which area of Washford is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Washford for beaches is Doniford, primarily due to its direct access to Doniford Beach.

Doniford is a small, coastal hamlet located just to the north of Washford village. It's known for its caravan parks and holiday accommodations, making it a popular spot for those looking for a seaside break. The main draw is Doniford Beach, which is a mix of pebbles and sand, particularly good for fossil hunting at low tide. The coastal path runs directly through Doniford, offering pleasant walks along the Bristol Channel.

Families often find Doniford an excellent choice because of the easy beach access and the facilities offered by the holiday parks. Children can enjoy exploring the rock pools, searching for fossils, and playing by the sea. Many accommodations here cater specifically to families, with amenities like swimming pools and play areas.

For those seeking a relaxed seaside break, Doniford provides a convenient base. You're right by the water, with opportunities for coastal strolls and enjoying the natural surroundings.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Washford?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Washford is during the summer months, particularly July and August. The weather is at its warmest, with average temperatures typically ranging from 18°C to 22°C, which is ideal for enjoying the local beaches and coastal walks.

During this period, the Washford coastline truly comes alive, with extended daylight hours great for seaside activities. Families will find plenty of opportunities for building sandcastles, paddling in the Bristol Channel, or exploring rock pools. It's also a time when many local attractions are in full swing, offering a lively option for visitors.

As another option, June presents a fantastic alternative. The weather remains pleasantly warm, often hovering around 16°C to 20°C, and the days are still long. You may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular beachside establishments.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Washford with Expedia?
One Key™ —Expedia's free travel rewards programme—gives you instant access to perks and Member Prices on Washford beach hotels. Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Washford?
Washford isn't directly on the coast, so for beach activities, you'll want to head to nearby coastal towns like Minehead or Blue Anchor, both offering traditional seaside experiences.

Minehead is an excellent choice for families looking for a classic beach day. The town boasts a long, sandy beach great for building sandcastles and playing by the sea. There's also a promenade with amusements and places to grab an ice cream or fish and chips. You can even take a ride on the West Somerset Railway from Minehead for a scenic journey along the coast.

Blue Anchor Bay, a bit closer to Washford, offers a more tranquil setting, ideal for those seeking a quieter beach experience. It's a shingle and sand beach known for its fossils and rock pools at low tide, making it a great spot for couples or families with older children interested in exploring nature.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Washford as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Washford for you.
