The Quantock Hills climb to 1,000 feet above sea level near St. Audries in the east, and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are to the west and are also easily accessible. From Watchet, there are wonderful walks down the coast. Discover the numerous charming coastal and inland villages, such as Porlock with its steep hill and charming winding alleys, Dunster with its spectacular castle towering above the old village, and Minehead with its bustling resort, sandy beach, golf course, and classic seaside attractions.

Generally very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The only slight grumble was the quality of the cutlery provided - knives and forks that wobble in the handles don't make for easy use!! There were also no oven gloves provided. Having said that, we really enjoyed our stay.

- Bed mattresses and pillows were worn out in the secondary bedroom and could be improve. - Cleanliness under the chairs and beds could be improved before check-in as there was a lot of dust. - Hoover needed emptying at check-in. - Kitchen amenities were very satisfactory. - Main Bathroom was amazing, however the cupboards and doors were squeaky which disturbed our baby's sleep. - Road to the parking slot was tight but clearly an added value to us. - Nice, quiet and friendly neighbourhood.
