New Year in Watchet
We were very happy with the property. It was very clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. It was in the middle of the village so very convenient for shops and pubs etc. Also for visiting the area. The owner of the property was also very helpful. A good stay despite the weather!
Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023

Cuain Cottage was nicer than I expected ,I don't think the listing does it Justice .Very clean .Lovely comfy beds .Black out curtains and blinds .Electric fake gas fire in lounge if feeling chilly and don't want to put heating on .Comfy sofas . Lots of hangers!!! Parking was super easy ,car park a few steps away ,always spaces ,weekly permit provided .No problem parking without blocking road for drop off and departure .Actually easier than squeezing into a dedicated space . Great wi fi and phone signal .Netflix and echo Dot . We set off smoke detectors ( because we would wouldn't we ) .To turn off/reset you push the button on the one at the foot of the stairs .Silences both and easier to reach than kitchen one . No family bathroom ,compact shower and WC room . Brilliant location -Watchet is compact and easy with everything you need ,a little old fashioned which we liked ..Great base for trips to Lynton ,walks on Quantock Hills ,Dunster Castle ( tho latter pricey ,tiring and lacks a lot of the informative guides that it used to have ) Market day on a Weds and again on first Sunday of month. Eating out - we defaulted to kebab /pizza place on Swain St when we arrived tired and late .Didn't fancy the pubs and deterred from fish and chip shop by bad reviews from Co OP staff . Cat's Whiskers ( 5 min walk ) is fabulous !!! As is Radio Museum next door to it - be prepared for more info than you can possibly want and a good 40 min visit . The harbour front is a few steps away at the end of the cul-de-sac -we used to walk round and drink our coffee there . Esplanade Lane is a cul-de-sac ,so no through traffic . Turn left from Esplanade Lane for Co Op shop just round the corner and right for Deli with sandwiches ,coffee ,bacon sandwiches ,pasties ,smoothies . Mineral Line walk on doorstep for lovely amble .Steam trains also on doorstep for days out . We would definitely come again .

The cottage is simple, clean and was lovely to stay in. Parking was never a problem in one of the nearby car parks, all of which are a short walk from the cottage.

Lovely location, just off main street, yet quiet with the harbour a stones throw for evening strolls and the interesting new East Quay Arts development. Nicely decorated and homely.

Nice, quiet little place in the middle of Watchet, only a few paces from pasties, cider, ice-cream, pubs, places to eat, steam railway, local art centre and of course the sea. Easy walk to the beach and short car journeys to alternatives including for fossil hunting and cream teas. Very nice host, helpful and quick to respond to messages.

We really liked the location so near the harbour and centre of the town. Sitting outside on the bench in the sunshine was our favourite bit.

Nice quiet location and easy parking with permit through owners in carpark very close by the Co Op store. Cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. We ate in Indian restaurant in village, food was excellent. Fish and Chip takeaway was very good but note that it only stayed open 5-7pm or lunchtime hours. There was a little market on the front of Quay on Wednesday which was nice to look round. Very happy with our stay and would definitely return.

Loved it
Had a fabulous stay in this lovely cottage. The location is just perfect in every way and I genuinely think it's one of the nicest places we've stayed in. Cannot recommend it highly enough, and if it was for sale we would buy it and move down there.

About the host

Hosted by Chris

Host profile image
Watchet has bags of charm and is a great little town for exploring Exmoor, the Brendons or the Quantocks, which are all a short distance away.

Situated on the coast, Watchet certainly packs a lot in - there's an active Marina, an Old Port, many quaint houses and narrow street, museums, shops, restaurants, pubs and takeaways! It's an ideal place to stay for a few days or even longer, with many walks in beautiful countryside, along the interesting coastline or just enjoy the Esplanade and the Marina and soak up the charm of the town.

Watchet has so much history, you will have plenty to explore. In the Iron ages, Dawes Fort was built above Watchet to protect the port and area. Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner was written whilst travelling through Watchet and the surrounding area. With its harbour and rail connections Watchet was an important trading town. Today, the West Somerset Steam train stops at Watchet on route between Minehead and Bishops Lydeard.
