Hotels in Burnham-on-Sea

Burnham-on-Sea makes a relaxed base for a Somerset coastal break, with accommodation to suit most budgets within easy walking distance of the beach and the town's famous low lighthouse. Seafront guesthouses and small independent hotels along the Esplanade offer sea views and easy access to the pier, shops and cafes, while self-catering apartments and cottages scattered through the town suit couples and families wanting more flexibility. Dog-friendly options are common, reflecting the town's popularity with walkers heading out along the beach and dunes.

For a wider choice, Highbridge and the villages just inland offer farmhouse bed and breakfasts and country inns with rooms, often at lower rates than the seafront while still being only a short drive from the sand. Golfers may prefer to base themselves near Burnham & Berrow Golf Club, one of the top-ranked links courses in England, with several places to stay clustered nearby. Families looking for a livelier, activity-packed stay tend to head slightly further along the coast to the large holiday parks around Berrow and Brean, which combine hotel-style amenities such as pools and entertainment with direct beach access.

Whichever type of accommodation you choose, Burnham's compact size means most places to stay are within easy reach of the seafront, the shops on the high street and the leisure centre, and the M5 at Junction 22 keeps the whole area well connected for exploring the wider Somerset coast, the Mendip Hills and the Levels beyond.
