Guests say

Harbour View Cottage in Watchet is highly praised for its stunning location with beautiful harbour views, comfortable and well-equipped interiors, and proximity to local amenities. Guests appreciate the property's character, cleanliness, and the thoughtful communication from the owner. While some minor issues are mentioned, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing a desire to return.

Most guests found the cottage to be very clean and tidy upon arrival. However, one review mentioned finding fungus and a general disappointment with cleanliness, which slightly lowers the score.

The location is consistently lauded for its amazing views, proximity to the town, and the joy of having the steam railway nearby. It's described as ideal and convenient, contributing to a high score.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds. There are mentions of a cosy atmosphere and a well-equipped setup, although one comment about a cold bedroom suggests a slight deduction.

The cottage is well-equipped with modern amenities and a well-appreciated renovation. Some inaccuracies in listings and a lack of detailed instructions for heating are noted, leading to a slightly reduced score.

While guests mention thoughtful communication and detailed instructions from the owner, there are no specific references to gifts or extra thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

About this property

This property has 2 bedrooms and an upstairs bathroom, along with a utility room and downstairs WC, and can sleep up to 4 guests. 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. Upstairs are two bedrooms, with one 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.

The Somerset village of Watchet offers a harbour and a selection of shops, while the West Somerset Railway passes the village and continues through scenery to the coastal town of Minehead. There are walks along the coast, plus the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are close by for countryside heaven.
