“Lovely clean warm and comfy house.”

Good free parking yards away on public car park. Pretty beach decor throughout the house. Fridge freezer a bonus as I brought some of my own prepared meals down in case of another lockdown. Quiet but just at the back of the main shopping street 2 minutes away. Beautiful natural beach at nearby West Street. Took an hour to walk down the beach at low tides my dog Barney loved it.

Great doggy walks all round Watchet. Plenty of dog friendly eateries around especially Chives for cream tea and sandwiches.

“Superficially clean.”

But saw Jam on freezer door, bread left in freezer and then started to see :coated dust radiator towel rail bathroom, dirty toilet roll dispenser, skirting also dirty, mould on anti slip mat bath, coffee spillage marks on bar of nest of tables, rust on drainer, dust tv stand, no dispensers on liquid soaps just refil bottles present. Disappointing level when every thing should be high standard to prevent infection. Position property very good, quiet and central.

“A very comfortable cottage in a great location.”

Secure patio for our dog. Comfy bed. Powerful shower. Close to amenities. Very disappointed that there was no welcome pack as described by previous visitors. We had arrived after a six hour journey and there wasn't even a tea bag, although milk left in the fridge. The kitchen could do with a few extras such as a bread bin and cannisters for tea, sugar etc. There is a washing machine but no clothes line or pegs. Nevertheless we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this holiday cottage.

“A wonderful stay”

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in this smashing little cottage right in the heart of an enchanting little seaside town. So close to the harbour, beach, shops, cafe's & pubs but being tucked away behind the high street meant it was nice and quiet. Also it's a good location for exploring other places both near and far in Somerset and Devon. A very comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage containing everything we needed to make for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The welcome pack was a nice touch too. We will definitely be back!

“The cottage is clean and modern.”

The location is ideal for Watchet. We found it very quiet and relaxing. Good location for visiting Minehead and Dunster.

Mr Kilburn August 2019

“This is a great cottage and very conveniently located in the heart of Watchet.”

The beaches and harbour are only a two minute walk away, and Minehead is 15 minutes in the car or train which itself has beautiful beaches. The beaches at Watchet are great for rockpools, collecting sea glass and fossils. The cottage was beautifully presented and has everything you need. The washing machine was really useful with two young children! There were also some really nice touches such as shower gels, a bottle of wine and tea, coffee and biscuits left for us, which were really appreciated after a long drive down. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of the cottage who was lovely and I would reiterate our thanks to her. I cant recommend this cottage enough and we will be booking again next year.

“Lovely quiet cottage situated nicely in the middle of Watchet.”

“This is a lovely cottage in the middle of town.”

Close to the centre but tucked away in a quiet courtyard. The cottage was spotless and had all you would need.

“The first thing to say is that prospective holidaymakers shouldn't be put off by the negative reviews from 2018.”

The owners have clearly listened to criticism and acted accordingly. We arrived to find the cottage clean, fresh and bright. Everything worked properly, the welcome pack was indeed welcome, and the level of equipment was fine. In fact, it's rather better than the description and photos suggest, as the old larder fridge has been replaced by a much-needed washing machine (although we couldn't find a drying rack) and a full-size fridge-freezer added. There a nice little private outside space that catches the sun in the afternoon. We enjoyed fossil-hunting in nearby Helwell Bay and a steam train trip to Minehead, with its sandy beach. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's cottage is a short car ride to the east and the splendours of Dunster Castle are nearby to the west. The caravan park at Blue Anchor has a nice indoor swimming pool, sauna and steam room that's very reasonably priced and available to non-residents at off-peak times. As for the town itself, the shops are handy (the Co-op is two minutes away) and enough for everyday needs (there are out-of-town supermarkets at Minehead). I can recommend Sam's Deli where I bought one of the best scotch eggs I've ever tasted. The museums are small and welcoming and the Esplanade (lots of benches and shelters) gives a great view of the harbour.

“This property 'does what it says on the tin' as the phrase goes.”

The location was brilliant and Watchet as a place to visit exceeded expectations.

Mr Taylor September 2018

“We were disappointed ...”

We were disappointed Their was no welcome pack so we had to start shopping The rain gutters dripped and kept us awake There was no views from the cottage We weren’t informed we would have to pay for parking

- Mr Taylor, September 2018

Thank you for your feedback, we do leave a welcome pack of tea, sugar, milk and normally a bottle of wine. I understand that the wine was missed and I do apologise for this. The rain gutters will received damage earlier in the year and we have been waiting for a free week to get this addressed. I am sorry that you expected views, this is not something we advertise as having. With relation to the parking there is car parking one car in the car park adjacent, there is a parking permit in the property to be used. Sykes owner relations
Mr Perrins September 2018

“Inadequate bath towels for 2 weeks stay.”

A washing machine would be a good addition as no launderette in the town.

- Mr Perrins, September 2018
Mrs Holland September 2018

“Cottage was comfortable & in central location.”

Maybe because it was late in season the cottage needs a spring clean grubby in places. Also suggest a grab rail is installed to assist with getting out of the shower ( one of our party found it difficult) .

- Mrs Holland, September 2018

Many thanks for your feedback. The property has now been renovated with new furniture, bedding , towels etc throughout. The property has also been decorated from top to bottom. Sykes owner relations
Mrs Wood August 2018

“Cottage was Lovely, very clean and comfortable.”

Mr Chambers June 2018

“This cottage felt unloved.”

Obviously not decorated since built. Weeds on the patio complimented by rusty garden furniture. One light off in the kitchen area and a wall light off in the sitting area. Rusty chrome items in the bathroom . Kitchen - no j-cloths or washing up liquid and only one tea towel (tatty). No cereal bowls only soup bowls. The bedrooms are like student accommodation with a portable rail shoved in one wardrobe together with excess bed linen . In the other bedroom there is a temporary cloth wardrobe.

- Mr Chambers, June 2018
Mr Hopkins June 2018

“First impressions OK.”

After 7hour journey put kettle on which was very greasy on outside,put lights on and one light in kitchen and one in lounge area did not work.! walking up stairs noticed above skirting board needed painting . Second bedroom had no bedside table and light on windowsill did not work and needed a new shade as it had pieces missing. The wardrobe was canvas and had various bedding piled on top.We phoned owner next morning and he sent Louise round with new lightbulbs..We pointed out that on the patio doors there was a large area of dried on bird poo,she said she did not clean outside windows, so I got washing up liquid and cleaned it off while she was there.The outside table and chairs had so much rust on the seats that we had to use cushions from settee to sit on them .The potted plants were half dead the wall had green algea on it on the patio needed a sweep.TO SAY THE LEAST IT WAS THE WORST PROPERTY WE HAVE STAYED IN AND WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED The good points were beds comfortable and clean both downstairs toilet and bathroom also clean and unlimited hot water.. 1 have taken photos of the rusty chairs and bird dirt on windows etc,if needed.

“Modern, clean and ideally situated.”

One of a row of newly built hoses, approached through an impressive gated entrance a few steps from the car park. A parking permit is provided. The house was very clean, with all the usual facilities, and well equipped. Everything worked. We found it very convenient for the esplanade and all the shops. It is central but not at all noisy. We would recommend it.

Lovely to be so close to the sea. There is a very good bus service so we were able to leave the car in the car park almost all week.

About the location

WATCHET

Minehead 9 miles.

Watchet is a delightful, small Somerset harbour town with a maritime history going back over two millennia, where visitors may enjoy the variety of quaint shops on offer and watch the boats in the marina. Watchet attracts railway enthusiasts from all around, as The West Somerset Railway, twenty miles of preserved steam railway, passes through Watchet and continues through stunning scenery to the coastal town of Minehead, approximately nine miles away. There are superb walks along the coast from Watchet, while towards St Audries in the east, the Quantock Hills rise to 1,000 feet above the sea and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are to the west, within easy reach. Explore the many pretty coastal and inland villages including Porlock, with its steep hill and pretty winding streets, Dunster with its dramatic castle perched above the historic village and the busy resort of Minehead with its sandy beach, golf course and traditional seaside attractions. This is an excellent choice of holiday destination for rural beauty, dramatic coastline and splendid walking.
