Camellia Lodge
Breakfast sorted, bus links to the seafront
About this hotel
Camellia Lodge builds a free cooked breakfast into every stay, a genuine convenience for a family who would rather not plan a fifth meal out over a multi-night visit. Rooms are modest rather than styled, but the lodge welcomes both pets and children without an extra fee, and local rail and bus pick-ups nearby mean reaching The Grand Pier and the wider seafront takes around seven minutes by public transport rather than a long walk. Severn Road sits a minute away for local errands, and the smoke-free property keeps things comfortable throughout. This is a residential, quieter side of Weston-super-Mare rather than a seafront address, and the trade-off is a lower rate with breakfast already covered rather than a beachfront view.

- Kid-friendly
Our take
This suits a family who wants breakfast handled without extra cost and does not mind a short bus ride into the seafront rather than a walk. It will not suit anyone who wants to step straight onto Marine Parade from the front door. For a budget-conscious, breakfast-included base with easy public transport links, it does exactly what it promises.
- ✓Use the local bus pick-up near the lodge to reach The Grand Pier rather than walking the full distance.
- ✓Take the included breakfast every morning rather than budgeting for cafés, since it is already covered.
- ✓Ask about pet-friendly rooms in advance if travelling with a dog, as availability can be limited.

Why guests love itBreakfast being included made the mornings simple, which mattered more than we expected with two young kids in tow. The lodge itself is modest rather than smart, but the local bus stop nearby got us into town and to The Grand Pier in well under ten minutes each time. It is not a seafront address, and we knew that going in, but the savings on both the room rate and daily breakfast costs made up for the short bus ride.
