The scent of salt and moorland bracken drifts down from the hill, and Exmoor sits heavy and green above the Victorian rooftops of Minehead.
Kenella House offers both guest house rooms and camping pods, so you can pick your comfort level depending on the weather or the mood of the trip. It's a handy base for couples or small groups walking the South West Coast Path, tackling Exmoor's ridges, or just settling in for a few days by the Bristol Channel. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth checking ahead if you're travelling with one.
The pods give you a bit more of that outdoor feel without full canvas commitment, and the place runs year-round, which is no small thing when autumn storms roll in or you fancy a winter break on the moor. Campfires are a maybe — ask when you arrive. It's a practical, no-fuss spot in a town that's equal parts seaside and hill country, with the moor's silence just minutes from the prom.
