We had a lovely stay at this cottage—it was clean and well-suited for a small family, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. The location was great, making it easy to get around and enjoy the surrounding area. The owners were incredibly considerate and maintained excellent communication throughout, always replying very promptly.

Spring Break

Had a lovely stay in Watchet. Friendly village. Highly recommend the Busk Stop pub for local ciders. We walked from Watchet to Minehead and came back on the steam train. Cosy house and just right for the three of us.

We will be back!

The property was clean. A short walk from the harbour. The property was dog friendly, unlike some other places which say that they are but blatantly aren’t. We respected the owners wishes for our dog not to go upstairs but he was more than happy in the courtyard garden until we took him out for lots of walks. The people of Watchet were so very friendly. We will be returning soon.

Not clean

On arrival we were unable to access the key from the safe with the code we were given and had to contact the owner. Fridge and worktops were dirty the floor hadn't been mopped and was sticky .This was very disappointing as there is meant to be extra cleaning with covid!!!. The plugs in both the sinks and the bath didn't work.Every time you make a slice of toast or open the oven door the smoke alarm goes off. Very disapointed with the standard of this property.

Lovely spot, great access to everything

Great property, cozy and clean and in an amazing location. Perfect for our stay. Loved that you could quite literally step out of the door and onto Swain street (the main street in town), while still being quiet and isolated in the small gated court. Would have preferred to receive the check in details a little sooner and would have liked to have the lack of towels explicitly spelled out ahead of time. We did not notice this until the check in message when we were already in town, luckily we have family in town so we were able to borrow some. Other than that, perfect stay and will definitely be using this spot on our next visit to Watchet.
