  This is my 4th visit to Watchet which I highly recommend.

  However, it is my first and last in this house. I'll explain the reasons. From the get go this potentially beautiful house looks tired and unloved inside and out! The greenery outside in the photo is now dead and due for removal due to the damage it causes (explained by the owner Jackie). The balcony off the main bedroom is unsightly and unloved and may even be unsafe! Outside furniture looks old and sad! We must have been the first people staying for months due to the damp smell especially downstairs. No deep cleaning, webs on ceilings. Very damp downstairs double room - no windows to air the room ONLY glass doors. One door only can be kept open on a door chain. Not safe at night esp if any vermin around!! We had very hot weather and had to keep the bedroom door closed to keep the dog out. We also had two big issues (one potentially serious due to gas and no hot water) which were resolved by day 4. Luckily we were staying 14 nights! The WiFi (talk talk) was non existent and despite all efforts (and service call out again on day 4) be warned still remains poor. Suggest change of provider may resolve this! The outside is overgrown, especially the car park area and back gate passage area. The recycle buckets all around the back door will attract vermin. Proper storage recommended for these. Owner Jackie very attentive and apologetic for the gas and WiFi. Spouse Gary attended due to the gas issue and realised it required more than their weak efforts to resolve (day 4 remember!!). Over priced at nearly 3 and half thousand for two weeks. It is my firm opinion this property does not carry the Sykes values and should be removed from their catalogue until they have inspected it.

  The property was very well presented, with a new kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, en suite shower etc all equipped to a very high standard.

  It has obviously been refurbished extremely well. All the kitchen appliances were very good quality, and very clean.The property is, as stated in the information, very dog friendly, although there were no doggy smells at all. It was very clean throughout. There were 2 allocated parking spaces in the residents car park directly opposite the property. There is also a public car park about 250 yards down the road if there were more than 2 cars. It was also most helpful to have an email from the owner a few days before our arrival with comprehensive instructions. Well done! However we have one or two other comments. We booked the property as it will accommodate 8 people sleeping, which it does very well. However the lounge has 2 settees which only allows 6 to sit comfortably. We were originally going to be 7 adults, later reduced to 6, so it just worked out OK. The kitchen (which is about 10ft square) doubles up as a dining area, and the clever table arrangement expands very well, however there are only 2 benches which will sit 4 people, but we had to bring 2 garden chairs in for the other 2 people. If we'd needed to sit 8, there would have been not space to work in the kitchen as well. While the sleeping arrangements are fine for 8 adults, the living space is really maxed out with 6 adults.

  30 West Street is the most dog friendly cottage we have stayed in, beds, bowls, throws and cages in the bedrooms if needed.

  Our three girls enjoyed being outside in the two secure areas. The lower being a patio (which could be gated) and the upper garden with raised beds and slated areas. The cottage kitchen was extremely well-equipped with everything you might need including a lovely welcome tray with different teas, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. The plumbed in cold water and ice machine particularly welcome as we were extremely lucky with the weather, sunny every day. Every room was beautifully furnished, fresh and very clean. The property has two allocated parking spaces right across the road which was very useful. The town’s folk made Watchet an unbelievably welcoming and friendly place to stay. Almost every business is dog friendly so no problems going shopping, eating out or having a pint or GandT. West Beach is rocky and although first impression doesn’t look great there is a ‘boating lake’ which doubled up as a doggy swimming pool and our girls loved running amongst the rocks. If you are looking for a dog friendly holiday you really can not beat 30 West Street and the town of Watchet. 5 ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ all the way. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

  Good communication between the owner and Skyes in advance of our stay.

  On arriving at the period house in West Street, keys were easy to locate and on entering after a cold day, the warmth greeted you. We were 5 adults, 2 under 3's and a teenager. Also 2 small dogs There was plenty of room in the house itself, lovely large bedrooms and main bathroom, however the kitchen table was a bit of a squeeze. It does extend but the fridge freezer was in the way a little. The kitchen was well equipped with a large range cooker, a large american style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and if needed a washing machine. Plenty of plates, bowls etc and also childrens plates and forks which was useful. Outside there is a seating area which is plenty large ( 2 outdoor tables and chairs)and then a further bench in a separate area, very quirky. Beds were comfortable and the house was very warm. The settees in the lounge were firm to sit on, but were fine for a short break. The road it is on doesn't have much traffic and its a couple of minutes to the sea and into the main shopping area. Parking was off the road in a barriered private carpark. So much to do in the local area, we'll have to return and I'd happily stay at no 30 again.

  We loved our week at 'The Cottage' for several reasons.

  The accommodation is as shown and all very clean and tidy. Perhaps one of the twin rooms is more suited to two youngsters and not adults due to it's size. The owner provided us with a generous welcome pack so no need to rush to the shop for supplies. Parking is for two small cars. What is not shown on the web page is the really pretty secluded garden and garden furniture, which we couldn't use due to the continual rain! Within no more than a very short walk are a local Co-Op and several pubs. The Esplanade Bar, a mere half minute walk from the accommodation sells some lovely Somerset cider as does Pebbles. You should try these! Can highly recommend 'The Star' but you need to book for Sunday lunch and choices are limited after the first sitting. The Food is reasonably priced too. The food at the Bell was average. Public transport runs hourly to Minehead or Taunton and all at £2 per trip and bus stop 2 minutes walk from our accommodation. If only we had had sunny weather we could have done a lot more. Overall an enjoyable stay. Would we return for a second visit - yes if someone else did the driving as it was a bit too far for us.
