We really enjoyed our stay at Birch cottage. It was clean, comfortable and welcoming, and ideally situated in the middle of Watchet, yet only 50 metres from the esplanade. This tastefully decorated cottage is set in a small gated community just off the main car park, and the parking arrangements worked very well.I would certainly recommend it for any couple wishing to stay in that area of Somerset.
