"Great cottage had a lovely chilled stay, the view is so good from the cottage and garden and the steam train runs along the bottom of the garden."
So much to see and great walks. Loved everything about the cottage the decor is great and just about everything you need is there, just two minor gripes we did think there was a washing machine when we first booked the cottage so we only took so many clothes but we coped, and the freezer section in the fridge is very small .The information to find the property was emailed and was excellent so made it easy to find. The local shop is only a five min walk if needed, we would recommend this property and will hopefully be returning soon.

"A beautifully refurbished cottage with everything you could ask for, including a log burner, sunny garden and amazing view of the harbour (and the steam train that basically runs at the bottom of the garden)!"
Would highly recommend the cottage and Watchet.
Thank you for taking the trouble to post your feedback. So glad that you appreciate the effort we have taken with the renovation. We hope to see you again. Property Owner

"The cottage was easy to find with the directions sent to us a few days before."
It was wonderfully warm and cosy, with amazing views over the harbour. Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Watchet town centre is an easy 5 minute walk and has everything you need. We hope to return one day.

"This was our second stay at Habour view."
The cottage has everything you need, the beds are really comfortable and the log fire is lovely to have on at night. The area around Watchet is great with so much to do. We can’t wait to return

"Lovely location, a stones throw from the steam railway station and a few minutes walk into Watchet."
Cottage itself was very cosy and the garden out the back was a delight, tea and cake overlooking the harbour was a treat.
Comfy beds and quiet at night so we all slept well.
All in all a lovely stay.

"The property was fine, clean and comfortable."
It’s just the price that was far too high for this level of accommodation. £259 per night should get absolute top notch accommodation and facilities.

"Heating was all over the place,cold in the evenings."
there was instructions to change it but was not confident to do so. Sofas are very low and soft making it very difficult to get out of for 60 somethings like us! was looking forward to returning next year but the prices have risen to more than we can afford(ridiculously so).Such a shame!

"On arrival kitchen surfaces still had bread crumbs on it so did the toaster dust on appliances grease on extractor hood, fridge was dirty freezer was dirty kitchen and dining room wooden floor was filthy."
We was told the property would be deep cleaned it wasn’t and because we had vulnerable people with us I set to to do the cleaning. I emailed the owner who apologised and said i the cleaner must have run out of time but no cleaner came back and nothing was sorted. As for Covid protection it was NOT fit for purpose and I feel strongly that I should expect some compensation even just for my time cleaning.

"Met expectations in the main but building work straight outside cottage was not mentioned by anyone so to wake every day in your holiday to drilling and building was not the best experience."
We would have at least liked to have known so I have contacted the owner who thought it was over and also then thought it would be done soon this is not correct and will not be done until end of summer so other bookings need to be aware for this year. They have assured me they will tell others.
No welcome parcel at all not even some tea and little milk for late arrivals so glad we are always organised.

"The cottage has great views of the harbour and we saw several beautiful sunsets."
Perfect location for the harbour, just a few minutes walk.
The owners were very pleasant and helpful when we needed to ring them.
Despite nothing really being open till next week, we loved Watchet and had some good walks. Dunster nearby was also a scenic town to visit.

"Just managed to fit in our holiday at Harbour View Cottage prior to second lockdown, and so glad we did."
The cottage was perfect for us especially with things as they are. We felt perfectly safe as cottage was covid safe and we could shield quite easily if we chose to. The cottage is comfy, warm and is very well equiped, we wanted for nothing. Bed were comfy, clean and bedding was of a high quality, which made you feel cared for and looked after. The view is spectacular, even when weather bad. It's only few mins walk from harbour and town and if you like steam trains the line is at bottom of garden, unfortunately they weren't running while we were there. Plenty to do in surrounding area too owners are helpful and friendly if you need help. Will certainly be going back again, hopefully several times and in summer next time.

"Advantages:Convenient Location, very good view, well heated, comfortable beds, plenty of storage space for clothes and personal items, comfortable sitting room with good view over harbour."
Disadvantages: Very small kitchen, limited storage space for food and drink items, small shower room with no bath, small shower with no hand rails for elderly and less able people, no seperate toilet (toilet in shower room), location of toilet downstairs is inconvenient for nighttime comfort calls (especially relevant for elderly!), dark dining room (no windows)
Taken all round, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages for us at present.

guests who don't clean pans etc properly, but not a lot you can do to educate them! the tv signal and wi-fi are weak, but again not something you can sort. most enjoyable week thank you, being close to town is a great asset and the views are amazing. already booked next year.

"Lovely cottage with great views across the harbour- sunsets were incredible ."
Very comfortable beds , quality linens and feather duvets and pillows meant a great sleep every night. Although small, everything we needed was available. The only improvement really would be a bit more crockery, mugs etc as we ran out quickly and be aware there is no washing machine - I didn’t read the listing properly- my mistake not theirs. The best beaches a little further afield and we drove into Devon a lot but Dunster beach was a great late find- avoid the ‘ muddy’ Blue anchor!
Overall a really sweet cottage, comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, with great views that normally come at a much heftier price. A great base

"Best location we have ever stayed in at Watchet."
The house had plenty of character. Bedrooms were spacious and beds very comfortable. General cleanliness was a little disappointing and we actually found fungus growing under the step to the kitchen. (Found whilst we were actually cleaning). Other than that the kitchen was on the small side but adequate for what we needed to do. I would have no hesitation in booking the property again in the future though

"Lovely cottage, only thing was we arrived as stated after 4."
30, it was dark and raining and as Sykes had sent the code for the key safe I didn't think there would be a problem. The key safe was tucked away at the property and there were several other decoys! The owner had sent an email telling us where it was but that had gone to spam and as I said I had the code so wasn't expecting any other email so didn't check spam!

"House location was great and so convenient for the town and local shops ie short walk over the rail crossing and into the car park at the back of the shops."
Views were great and the steam railway at the "end of the garden" was a bonus. The only drawback for us...and this was a personal thing...was that the bathroom was downstairs and am used to an en suite. it was lovely to sit in the garden in the afternoon/evening with our drink it was so quiet and plenty of birds enjoying the bird bath in the garden! Great views - it was a joy to wake up in the morning to open the blinds and see the harbour and sea. Lucky for us the weather was fine. Our first visit ot Somerset. Did find the roads a bit of a problem....ie it took ages to get anywhere ,,,,down the narrow bendy and twisty roads when we are used to main road and motorways.
