Guests that stayed at this property said

The cottage is consistently described as spotless and very clean, with many guests noting it as the cleanest accommodation they've had. One review mentioned finding some rubbish, but this seems an isolated incident.

The location is perfect, with guests loving the proximity to the harbour, local shops, pubs, and restaurants. The scenic views and ease of access to nearby attractions are frequently commended.

Many reviews mention comfortable beds and furniture, and the cottage being well equipped for a comfortable stay. The new sofas and mattresses were specifically appreciated, enhancing the overall comfort.

Facilities are highly rated, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen, table tennis, and a terrace. Maintenance seems good with recent updates like new sofas. One review mentioned extra cleaning requirements, but overall, facilities are well-maintained.

Guests feel well catered for, with thoughtful touches like a complimentary Easter egg mentioned. However, as such gifts are not guaranteed and not consistently mentioned, the score reflects the overall thoughtfulness in provision rather than specific gifts.

About this property

In an endearing location of the quaint harbour town of Watchet is this three-storey terraced cottage, where the rear of the property opens out to relaxing views of Watchet Harbour and across the Bristol Channel to the Welsh coastline. Harbour Cottage is perfect for friends and families alike, with a mix of characterful features and contemporary amenities throughout. Step into a period-style hallway with a plush seating area, featured with exposed stone walling and traditional beams as you enter the main sitting room, a snug space with a log burner where you can settle in for a family film night whilst relaxing on the luxury reclining leather suite. Prepare heart-warming meals in the amply-equipped kitchen/diner, presenting even more character features and a farmhouse-style aesthetic alongside all the amenities you'll need to enjoy dinner on the sociable dining table. A traditional stable door takes you out to your own private patio, a real gem in the property, where you'll find amazing views of the sea and over to the marina right in front of your eyes. As the evening grows darker, venture upstairs to find three stunning bedrooms, comprising two king-size bedrooms, and a master super-king-size benefitting from its own TV, sea views and en-suite shower room!

Up a turning stairwell with a low beam to the second floor is the fabulous twin room, a fun-filled den for kids to escape to, with its very own table tennis area underneath sloping ceilings!

    Watchet is a lively little place with easy access to Exmoor, the Quantocks and the Somerset Coast Path. The handy beach was great for the dog, but not really a bucket and spade destination

  • Jill

    Clean, extremely well equipped, very comfortable and spacious. A great location to explore the area although we hardly used the car as Watchet has everything you need. We all thoroughly enjoyed our week.

  • Patricia

    Full of character and very clean. Everything well thought out and lots of utensils, crockery, pans etc. The owner was very helpful and we really appreciated the free parking for one car. Watchet was lovely and the people extremely friendly so hope to go there again.
