The region
Watchet is a historic harbour town on the West Somerset coast, one of the oldest ports in England. Its working marina, independent shops, and friendly atmosphere make it a wonderful base for exploring Exmoor.
The town sits where the Washford River meets the Bristol Channel, with a compact centre of colour-washed cottages, narrow lanes, and a lively harbourside. Watchet has a long maritime heritage -- it was a busy trading port in Saxon times and is famously linked to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, who is said to have been inspired to write The Rime of the Ancient Mariner after visiting the harbour. A striking statue of the mariner stands on the Esplanade.
Town Amenities
Watchet has a good range of everyday amenities for a small town. There is a convenience store, a post office, a chemist, and several independent shops along Swain Street, including galleries, gift shops, and a bookshop. The town also has a laundrette, a fish and chip shop at the harbour, and several cafes. There is a pay-and-display car park near the marina and free on-street parking in the town centre.
Nearby Shopping
Williton is approximately 2 miles away and has a petrol station, Co-op supermarket, and a few additional shops. Minehead, approximately 8 miles west along the coast, has Tesco, Morrisons, and Lidl, as well as most high street banks, a post office, and a wider range of shops. For a full day of shopping, Taunton is approximately 25 miles away and Bridgwater approximately 18 miles, both with town centres and retail parks.

New Year in Watchet
We were very happy with the property. It was very clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. It was in the middle of the village so very convenient for shops and pubs etc. Also for visiting the area. The owner of the property was also very helpful. A good stay despite the weather!

Loved it
Had a fabulous stay in this lovely cottage. The location is just perfect in every way and I genuinely think it's one of the nicest places we've stayed in. Cannot recommend it highly enough, and if it was for sale we would buy it and move down there.
