This thought provoking sculpture will be in Weston for the month of May this year…

📆📆Knife Angel comes to Weston this May 📆📆

The KnifeAngel Project - art with a message - is coming to Weston-super-Mare's Italian Gardens in May, 2024.

The 27ft tall Knife Angel statue has been created from more than 100,000 knives and blades which have been confiscated by police throughout the UK.

It was designed by Alfie Bradley art at the British Ironwork Centre as a monument against violence and aggression and will tour the country.

Its visit to Weston will coincide with a knife amnesty.

*** CHANGE OF ARRIVAL/DEPARTURE DATE IN JULY AND AUGUST 2024***

Now that the peak holidays are over, it’s time to see what we can do to help alleviate the pain of the very busy traffic on the M5 on Fridays which is mostly due to sheer volume. We’ve made the decision to trial a Thursday arrival and departure day in July and August 2024. We’ve mentioned this to some of this years guest and it’s been positively received.
So….for all bookings that start in July and August 2024 it will be on a Thursday to Thursday basis. This will commence with week beginning 4th July.

Weston-super-Mare has so much to offer and I’m sure if you take a look at the list you’ll be amazed at what goes on in the area with lots of them dog friendly.
We are taking bookings for 2024 at the same price as this year so if you’d like to come and see some of these diverse ways to spend your time get in touch 😊

This year marks 60 years since The Beatles came to Weston-super-Mare on their summer tour so, in their honour, we've compiled a list of 60 reasons why you should visit Weston this summer.

There are so many dog friendly eateries within a short distance of Sand Bay Retreat that are very welcoming and The Nut Tree in Worle, just 2 miles away not only has a menu full of delicious food but now a menu for our furry friends too. I know Molly will enjoy testing them out 🐾🐾

Very excited! Not only do we have a huge selection for you! But now your four legged friends as well! 😍🐶

Just eleven miles away from Sand Bay is Clevedon Marine Lake where you can swim, paddle board or just take a ride in a Flamingo 🦩🦩🦩
Catering for all ages and just one junction up the M5, Clevedon has lots to offer and well worth a visit whilst you are staying at our Retreat.

Many of our guests love to visit this world famous beauty spot to see Britain’s biggest gorge, dramatic cliffs and stunning caverns. Only 13 miles from Sand Bay and most importantly, very dog friendly 🐾
Also in Cheddar and a short walk away is the highly recommended dog friendly Lion Rock Tea Rooms. Open every day from 10 until 5 serving breakfast, lunch and yummy home made cakes and cream teas 🧁🍰
Both well worth the short trip 😊

☀️☀️VERY LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION☀️☀️

Unfortunately, our guests due yesterday have had to cancel their week and I am wondering if there is anyone interested in taking a last minute break of between 3 and 6 nights between today and Friday so that I can recoup some of their charges for them.
Cost negotiable depending on length of stay. This is an unusual opportunity especially alongside forecasted good weather.
Please see www.SandBayRetreat.co.uk for contact details ☀️

So January is nearly over. A busy month for holiday bookings and it leaves us with just 4 individual weeks available between mid March and mid October.

Top of most dog owners list as usual is a safe, secure garden which we gladly provide but we’ve noticed this year that another question keeps popping up and that concerns parking. Whether you need space for more than one vehicle or perhaps your transport is more like a van kitted out for your pooches to travel comfortably then we can gladly provide that too.

This snap shows the amount of private off road parking available with easy access to the accommodation.

If you are interested in snapping up one of our last few available weeks this year then do get in touch.

We hope everyone is enjoying the lovely sunshine today 😎

Although shopping might not be on your to-do list when you’re on holiday, I’m giving a a big shout out to this lovely little shop in Weston town that sells very unusual, unique and often quirky gifts made by more than 50 local artists and crafters.
The shop is situated in Meadow Street which is full of independant businesses and well worth a visit. 300 yards from the Silica Spire (aka the Carrot) in the centre of Town and run by very friendly owners, Clara and Jules 😊

Happy Christmas!

Enjoy the festivities everyone and to those of you that have already booked, see you in 2022 🎄🎅🏻🎉

Great news! The local Fish and Chip Shop that sells extremely good food now has an outside dining area.
This is more than just a fish and chip shop. The owners have really pulled out the stops to offer that little bit extra and are regularly coming up with new ideas to please their customers including gluten free evenings, freshly made pizza, sharing boxes and will even deliver.
Our guests have been delighted with the food and have often visited more than once during their holiday break. Eating Fish and Chips is always on the guests to-do list when they visit and we can highly recommend the Sand Bay Fish and Chip Shop 👌.
A great asset to the village and less than a mile from the Annex 😋

All of our reviews have been wonderful since we opened in 2018 but after being closed for 5 months due to lockdown, it’s great to know our guests still love staying in the Annex and even better that they make another booking whilst they are there.
Thank you Cath for calling us dog embracing. We love making a fuss of all the different characters that cross our door and enjoy the beach at the end of the road🐾🐾
