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

The cottage is very nice. The children enjoyed having a playground close to the cottage. As we had a lovely weather we have been able to enjoy the seaside!! We loved fossil hunting, the coastal footpath and the very nice beach of Minehead.

“Everything Sykes says is so.”

No problems, excellent holiday Many thanks

Mr Pearce, March 2019
“Nice warm cosy cottage, excellent directions and information.”

Ideal location over looking the harbour. However, need to be aware that staying out of high season does mean not all attractions and restaurants are open.

Mr Gannon, March 2019
“Excellent cottage in a great location, really handy for the amenities of Watchet.”

Only tricky part was finding the key box in the dark on arrival as it's not on the front of the property itself but on one of the buildings/sheds oppposite.

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!

Mrs Jacobs, December 2018
“Lovely cottage, very easy to book.”

Sykes staff were very helpful and friendly when called. Would highly recommend.

Have nothing but praise for Juliet, the property owner, who promptly sorted out a minor problem when we reported it. We will definitely go back there for another holiday in a year or so.

“Cottage was an excellent choice, great position, amazing views, although it was well equiped if you wanted to cook and eat in there are so many lovely places to eat in and around Watchet, we managed a different venue every night.”

The Salvation Army Coffee Morning on Friday 9.30-11.30 is worth a visit, open to all, very warm welcome offering Tea, Coffee and Cake just 50p each and you can watch the trains as the hall overlooks the station.

Mrs Poulton, July 2018
“We were given very clear information from the cottage owner of everything we needed to know before we left.”

The cottage was really clean and tidy on arrival. The location of this cottage was amazing.

Mrs Haines, June 2018
“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cottage and location.”

Lovely views from the cottage overlooking the harbour and everything was so close to hand.

Mrs Forrest, June 2018
“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.

The property

This superb terraced cottage is one of a row of local red stone cottages, comprising of the former coastguard station built in 1898, overlooking Watchet harbour, on the north Somerset coast.

Tucked away down a private lane, but within an easy few minutes' walk from the village, this Watchet cottage is ideal for couples and families seeking a relaxing holiday by the sea.

The sitting room has wonderful sea views across the harbour and marina, and opens onto the lawned garden, which is a lovely spot to enjoy a cold drink on a sunny day whilst watching the boats come and go.

There is also a cosy, well-equipped kitchen, a dining room and a shower room on the ground floor.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, with one of the doubles boasting sea views across the Bristol Channel to Wales.

Take a gentle stroll from this Watchet cottage down to the harbour, where quaint shops can be found, or for the more energetic there are plentiful walks along the coast towards Blue Anchor with its long promenade lined with fishermen.

A short drive to Dunster is well worthwhile, which is a historic National Trust village with cobbled streets lined with cafés and gift shops.

Families staying at this Watchet cottage will love the popular resort of Minehead with golden sandy beaches and plenty of fun on the traditional seafront.

This delightful Watchet cottage will provide a lovely escape.

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.
