The Beaches Hotel
Old-school water views, breakfast included
About this hotel
The Beaches Hotel leans fully into an old-school seafront-hotel character, with straightforward rooms offering water views rather than a modern, renovated look. Free breakfast is included in the rate, and beach access is tagged directly, backed up by the roughly eight-minute walk to Weston-super-Mare's sand from the property. Kid-friendly, smoke-free rooms keep the basics comfortable for families, and a nearby restaurant covers dinner on evenings when nothing is planned on site. This is a simpler, more traditional property than some of the town's period townhouses or full-service hotels, and the clearest draw is the combination of water views and included breakfast at a rate that undercuts most of the seafront's pricier options.

Our take
This suits a family who wants water views and breakfast included without paying for a full-service hotel's extras. It will not suit anyone wanting a modern, renovated interior — the rooms are genuinely old-school in style. For simple charm, a real view and breakfast sorted, it is a solid, unpretentious pick.
- ✓Take the included breakfast each morning, since it is built into the rate and sets up a full beach day well.
- ✓Request a water-view room specifically at booking, since the outlook can vary across the building.
- ✓Walk the eight minutes to the beach before the crowds build later in the morning.

Why guests love itThe Beaches Hotel is exactly what its name suggests: simple, old-fashioned rooms with a real water view rather than a manufactured one. Breakfast being included meant one less thing to plan each morning before the eight-minute walk down to the sand. It is not a modern, renovated hotel, and it does not pretend to be, but for the price and the view together, it delivered more than we expected.
