    “A quiet, cosy, and well-furnished retreat, which acted as a convenient base from which to explore the beautiful surrounding coastal areas, and, Quantock Hills.”

    The road leading to the property was a bit steep to drive up. As it is a no-through road, very few vehicles passed by the house, we saw more dog-walkers or joggers if anything. Which also meant it was extremely quiet there, both day and night. We liked that there was secure parking guaranteed due to a gravel courtyard directly outside the house.

    The road leading to the property was a bit steep to drive up. As it is a no-through road, very few vehicles passed by the house, we saw more dog-walkers or joggers if anything. Which also meant it was extremely quiet there, both day and night. We liked that there was secure parking guaranteed due to a gravel courtyard directly outside the house. The house was as in the photos, yet the living room area with a soft sofa was pleasantly updated with two comfortable white armchairs, instead of the IKEA chair, and a wood and glass coffee table. A comfortable modern house with its small cottage garden, it was certainly large enough to accommodate our family of three. The underfloor heating made the whole of the downstairs feel cosy and toasty. Beds were good, although the larger room with one double bed was, to us, a more supportive mattress, than those in the other bedroom. Whilst we did encounter one issue, we flagged it quickly and it was promptly assessed and dealt with by owner, Phyllis, of next door. She was available, very friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. We appreciated the thoughtful and tasty welcome pack of homemade scones and jam, and, clotted cream. From the house, we had short walks to Watchet harbour, hunted for fossils at local beaches, boarded at Watchet for magical Steam Railway journeys, and enjoyed days out at Dunster beach and Castle, Minehead, and other area attractions. It was a nice house, and, we had a relaxing stay.

Step into the bright and airy open-plan living space, with a range of seating so you can curl up with your loved ones of an evening while tuning into the television.

The attractive kitchen is where you can prepare your home-cooked meals, finished with pastel blue units amongst a range of integrated appliances and worktop space, showcasing the level of quality this property has.

There is a small dining area, where you can enjoy family gatherings over a hearty breakfast or use this as a space to plan for the next adventure.

Start off your morning with a brisk shower before sipping on a coffee from the patio area, thinking about where to visit that day.

Stroll into the centre of Watchet to find a range of independent shops where you can search for a gift to take back home, along with plenty of fine eateries including gastro pubs and restaurants, ideal if you don’t fancy cooking one evening.

Visit the iconic harbour and watch as colourful boats bob peacefully in the waters whilst indulging in a delicious portion of fish and chips.

Learn about the history of the area whilst visiting the fortress remains of Daws Castle, or stop by the village of Washford and uncover the 15th century monastery remains of Cleeve Abbey.

Walkers will be drawn to the luscious green landscapes of the Exmoor National Park and Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with beautiful hikes and exhilarating bike rides or hop on the West Somerset Railway and enjoy a scenic journey through miles of untouched countryside, connecting Watchet with Dunster, a charming village boasting a picturesque castle.

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.
