New Inn, Weston Super Mare

The New Inn stands as a prominent landmark in the scenic village of Kewstoke, just a short walk from Sand Bay, one of the finest beaches in the South West. Adding to its appeal, the bustling seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare is conveniently close by. Kewstoke itself is a charming, affluent village with a population of around 2,000, attracting both local patrons and visitors. From March to October, the area experiences a surge in visitors, thanks to the many nearby touring sites, making it a thriving hub for trade during the tourist season.
