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.

Good location to the shops,pubs,harbour. Good communication from the hosts. But sorry was expecting a 2 bathroom 2 bedroom property. It was a 1 bedroom and a downstairs cloakroom. Not a lot of room to put your food etc. Cleanliness was not good on several points. Was very disappointed.

The property is two bedrooms with a double bed in one and two single beds in the other bedroom. Upstairs main bathroom with bath / shower / toilet / wash basin with additional downstairs toilet / wash basin. We have not had comments about food storage previously with a fridge freezer for cold storage. Reviews this year have been positive over cleanliness and will continue to check post clean as always.

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.

Lovely property for a weekend away. There were only two minor issues - the hot tap wasn’t working in the bathroom sink and there’s nowhere to hang a hand towel in the downstairs cloakroom. Not big issues and easily rectified.

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.

Worktops and surfaces are all cleaned with Flash bleach surface cleaner and the floor hovered and moped with Flash hard floor cleaner that was done before your arrival as I visited the cottage. The plugs in both sink and bath where removed and cleaned at the beginning of the month, but as they are pop waste plugs guests do have a habit of rotating them and therefore this effects the closure, but if they are simply spun tight will seal.

Excellent amenities within the cottage, a real home from home. Ideally located for touring, and for The Bell! A 5 star stay, highly recommended

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.
