Vikings Annexe

About Vikings Annexe

Vikings Annexe suits travellers after a quiet, no-frills base for getting out into Exmoor National Park and along the Somerset coast, rather than those wanting a full-service hotel stay. With just two rooms, it works well for couples or small groups happy to come and go under their own steam.

The property sits on a hillside, and reaching the front door means climbing around 20 steps, so it's worth bearing in mind for anyone with heavy luggage or limited mobility. In return, guests get free on-site parking for two cars, plus an electric vehicle charge point, a garden and outdoor seating for relaxing after a day outdoors. Reception is staffed around the clock, giving flexibility for early starts or late arrivals.

Minehead itself puts walking and cycling routes within easy reach, along with fishing, horse riding and watersports nearby, while pubs, restaurants and other eateries in the area cover food and drink without the annexe needing its own dining room. It's a practical spot for anyone building a trip around Exmoor and the coast rather than around the accommodation itself.
