The Langbury is a large mainly Edwardian house originally built as a gentleman's residence. It stands in its own grounds set in an elevated position in the small village of Blue Anchor. This small friendly hotel has become renowned for its particular blend of comfort and personal service by an ever-widening circle of guests who return time after time to what they have come to regard as a haven of peace and comfort. The hotel enjoys magnificent views of the sea and the hills of glorious Exmoor which are a feast for the eyes at any time of year. We are approximately three miles from the medieval village of Dunster with its fairy-tale castle. The traditional seaside resort of Minehead is five miles by road. The town offers shops, golf, sea-fishing trips, riding stables and an indoor swimming pool. The harbour is pretty and the old part of the town around the Church is worth exploring on the way up to North Hill which gives spectacular views of the coast and surrounding hills.

The Langbury is barely two minutes from the beach and Blue Anchor Station where you can board a steam train on the West Somerset Railway - the longest preserved railway in the country. Steam trains run from Minehead to Bishops Lydeard; skirting the Quantock Hills and passing through picturesque villages & tranquill countryside.
Dunster is 2½ miles by public footpath across the fields and Minehead is an hours walk along the beach; for the more adventurous both routes lead onto open moorland beyond, where 30 minutes walk will take you to thousands of acres of some of the most beautifull un-populated scenery in England which waits to be enjoyed. With a leisurely car journey one can explore the hills, valleys, woodlands and breathtaking coastline of Exmoor with its numerous picture-book villages, National Trust Houses and Gardens.
For a day trip there are the historic cities of Bath, Bristol and Exeter. Visit Wells with its magnificent Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Explore the Cheddar Caves, Glastonbury; all will make a memorable day out.
