The accommodation is on the first floor, with a super king-size double bedroom and a further double bedroom with a standard double bed.

It is an ideal spot in which to relax and unwind on a summer's evening. Watchet is a charming little coastal village to explore, with its active marina, old port, Jurassic coastline with fossil beaches, quaint houses, pubs, restaurants and shops.

The West Somerset Steam Railway line passes through Watchet, heading through the Vale of Taunton to the coastal town of Minehead, and visitors are charmed by the relaxed pace of the trains passing through beautiful surroundings. The trains can be seen passing through the Washford River valley below the cottage. Also within a couple of miles are The Quantock Hills with their stunning moorland and Exmoor National Park, home to 267 square miles of rural bliss with ancient oak woodlands in deep valleys, sweeping moorland with stunning views and an incredible rugged coastline, including the highest sea cliffs in England.
