We stay at the family-run Smiths Hotel, superbly positioned right on Weston’s seafront overlooking the bay. With the promenade, beach, Grand Pier and town centre close at hand, it’s a great spot for enjoying some free time by the sea.

And when the day’s exploring is done, there’s more to enjoy back at the hotel. Take advantage of a discounted drinks Happy Hour every evening, with entertainment provided on at least two nights – a great excuse to settle in, enjoy a drink and make an evening of it!
Our excursions showcase some of Somerset’s best-loved destinations. We head along the coast to Minehead before visiting picturesque Dunster, with its historic streets, medieval Yarn Market and impressive castle overlooking the village.
Another day takes us to fascinating Glastonbury, a town filled with history, legends and unmistakable character. We’ll also visit the beautiful cathedral city of Wells before heading to Clarks Village, where there’s time to browse the outlet stores and perhaps pick up a bargain or two.
Do as little or as much as you want, but if you just fancy sitting on the pier watching the world go by, then that is absolutely fine too!
With five days beside the sea, great excursions, evening entertainment, Happy Hours and a cream tea thrown in for good measure, our Weston-super-Mare Jolly is just the ticket for a fun and great-value getaway!

Wells & Glastonbury - Two Extraordinary Places, One Unforgettable Day!
INCLUDED Visitor DestinationsWells - England's Tiniest City with the Biggest Heart!
Prepare to be utterly charmed by Wells, England's smallest city tucked beautifully at the foot of the stunning Mendip Hills! This medieval masterpiece is home to some of the most interesting architecture you'll ever see - the magnificent Gothic Cathedral will leave you speechless, whilst the enchanting Bishop's Palace and historic Vicars' Close (Europe's oldest residential street!) transport you straight back to medieval times.
But Wells isn't just about history - it's a vibrant, living city! Discover delightful independent shops perfect for a spot of retail therapy, and treat yourself at one of the many fantastic eateries. The real magic happens on bustling market days (Wednesdays and Saturdays) when Wells Market Place comes alive with local traders, fresh produce, and that wonderful market atmosphere that makes you feel part of something special!
Glastonbury - Where Legend Meets Reality!
Next, we'll whisk you away to the wonderfully quirky town of Glastonbury - famous worldwide for its legendary music festival, but offering so much more! This compact gem is refreshingly authentic, with everything worth seeing just a pleasant stroll away.
Step into the atmospheric ruins of Glastonbury Abbey, dating back to 670 AD, where centuries of history whisper through ancient stones. Legend has it that Joseph of Arimathea brought the young Jesus here 2000 years ago - imagine walking in those footsteps!
Don't miss the mystical Glastonbury Tor - just a 10-minute walk from the High Street past the magical Chalice Well. The views from the top are absolutely spectacular! Embrace Glastonbury's wonderfully eccentric 'new age' spirit as you browse the mystic shops and soak up the free-spirited atmosphere that makes this place so utterly unique.
Both places weave their own special magic - you'll leave feeling you've experienced something truly extraordinary!
