The property

Sammy Hakes Cottage is set within the appealing coastal town of Watchet, Somerset, and offers a thoughtfully arranged retreat for couples looking to enjoy time by the sea.

There are beautiful views over the harbour and lighthouse, where you can watch both sunset and sunrise (from different parts of the property).

The property is arranged over two floors in a reverse-level layout, making the most of the living space and creating a pleasant setting for a restful break.

Outside, a private patio provides a useful spot for sitting out with a morning drink or relaxing after a day spent exploring the coastline and harbour.

On the ground floor, guests will find a well-presented double bedroom with a stable door leading out onto the patio.

Stairs lead up to the first floor, where an open-plan living area brings together the kitchen, dining and sitting spaces.

The kitchen is fully equipped for preparing meals at home, while the dining area is well-suited to relaxed breakfasts or evening suppers.

The sitting area provides a comfortable place to unwind, complete with a TV for quieter nights in.

There is a neatly finished shower room featuring a walk-in shower, offering comfort and convenience.

Watchet’s beach, harbour and town centre are all within easy walking distance, allowing guests to explore without needing to use the car.

The town has a welcoming atmosphere, with a selection of independent shops, cafés and traditional pubs, which includes the multi award winning Pebbles Tavern that has live music and locally sourced real ales and ciders.

There are also attractions such as Watchet Harbour, the Boat Museum and the Market House Museum.

The West Somerset Coast Path passes nearby, offering scenic walking routes with views across the Bristol Channel and along the rugged coastline.

A short drive brings you to the traditional seaside town of Minehead, known for its long promenade, sandy beach and range of family-friendly attractions.

The surrounding area also provides easy access to Exmoor National Park, where dramatic moorland, wooded valleys and quiet villages such as Porlock and Dunster invite exploration.

Dunster Castle, with its historic grounds and medieval village, is another popular place to visit.

Sammy Hakes Cottage offers a comfortable and well-located base for discovering the coastal scenery, historic towns and varied landscapes that make this part of Somerset so appealing.

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.
