Advantages: Cheap and cheerful day out.
Disadvantages: Too many people on the routes there in the Summer.

...I thought I'd write a Weston-Super-Mare review since my husband and I took our little ones there today for a spot of sandcastle building. As we only live 15 minutes away, down the M5, it's a place I have frequented throughout my life. My Grandparents live in Worle which is just off the motorway on the way in to Weston, and always took us to the seafront in the Summer, so this is the place I shall start. THE SEA FRONT Weston-Super-Mare is in North Somerset (previously Avon). Weston-sur-la-mer (on-the-sea) became Weston-Super-Mare for obvious reasons... our tangled evolution of language! I suppose it is sort of on-the-sea, but is really on the Severn Estuary. This means that there is a lot of mud washing up and down! We often, jokingly call it Weston-Super-Mud! At Weston, the beach is very very long and expansive... Read review

Disadvantages: noisy carpark, no tv remote, easy book didnt work on website

...We were looking for a hotel or guesthouse in weston-super-mare but for the same price as a small guesthouse with shared bathrooms you can go to the travel inn and have ensuite for just £42.95 per room... it doesnt matter what room you have , single, double, family - the price remains the same. Booking the inn did have its problems. I wanted to use the 'easy book' system they have on their website but it wasnt working properly (page cannot be displayed, some sort of server error). I am not keen on using the phone so I kept trying the easy book at regular intervals throughtout the day. After a day and a half I gave up and phoned them directly. The gentleman was very polite on the phone, the only problem was that you dont get a confirmation of booking like an email. This particular inn was by a leisure centre on the main road...

Advantages: A fun,cheesy day out,lots to do!
Disadvantages: the mud on the beach near the sea :(

...Ok, so it was more of a day trip than a holiday, but my outing to Weston-Super-Mare was still fantastic, and the best time out I’ve had in a long time! Weston-Super-Mare is located in North Somerset, South England, UK and with thousands of visitors a year flocking to the long sandy beach and the one-mile long grand pier, this is definitely known as a top day out. So after almost two years of being together and realising that my fiancé and me hadn’t yet been to the seaside together, I decided on my birthday we would go for a day trip somewhere nice. With my birthday being in August it was ideal for a beach location and Stephen recommended Weston-Super-Mare. Now he did warn me however before we went that it was known as Weston-super-mud but if I’m honest I really didn’t care, all I wanted was a beach! *** Directions *** We... Read review
