  Great cottage with harbour and sea views.

  The property has been recently renovated and has been well done. It is well equipped and usefully has a downstairs toilet and washbasin and this room also houses the washing machine. It is worth noting that the fridge is on the small size and there is only a tiny freezer compartment - which is big enough to make ice cubes but not for storing frozen food. The bed linen and towels are of an excellent quality. There is a king size bed in one bedroom and a standard double in the other. The mattresses on both are a little soft for us but this is a matter of preference - it hasn't stopped us booking for a third year. The property has a hairdryer and there are garden chairs, as well as an ironing board and iron, pegs, clothes airer and some cleaning equipment. The bathroom upstairs has a proper, good-size walk-in shower and the water pressure is great. It is worth noting that the stairs are quite steep. There is parking for two cars and the cottage is accessed via a very narrow lane. Luckily this only leads to the harbour view cottages so you very rarely meet anyone coming the other way!

  We had an excellent stay at Harbour View Cottage.

  It has been updated beautifully to provide a modern, welcoming, comfortable home away from home with all the things we could ask for including nice surprises too, like the postcards. We made great use of being so close to Watchet town for seafront walks, pub meals and town history. We are both quite arty and loved the changing views and sunsets for drawing and painting. We discovered the East Quay Art Centre in the new block building on the harbour.. how did we miss that from the info? :D It has a great coffee shop and lots to see and do for all ages in the colder months. The log burner was fabulous on the wintery nights and really heated up the whole house. I agree with a previous visitor, that the bedroom with the sea view is very cold and really needs another radiator/heater for the winter. All in all, a fabulous stay in beautiful cottage. Many thanks.

  Just managed to fit in our holiday at Harbour View Cottage prior to second lockdown, and so glad we did.

  The cottage was perfect for us especially with things as they are. We felt perfectly safe as cottage was covid safe and we could shield quite easily if we chose to. The cottage is comfy, warm and is very well equiped, we wanted for nothing. Bed were comfy, clean and bedding was of a high quality, which made you feel cared for and looked after. The view is spectacular, even when weather bad. It's only few mins walk from harbour and town and if you like steam trains the line is at bottom of garden, unfortunately they weren't running while we were there. Plenty to do in surrounding area too owners are helpful and friendly if you need help. Will certainly be going back again, hopefully several times and in summer next time.

  This is a lovely apartment, very spacious and well furnished.

  The location is beautiful - very quiet, with a wonderful outlook over garden and trees to the hills beyond. The owners are very friendly and welcoming, and even with the covid-19 restrictions, we had everything we could need for a comfortable weekend. There is excellent walking within a very short distance, on the coast, in the Quantocks and on Exmoor. An ideal retreat for these difficult times - we hope to visit again.(The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for comfort is that I think perhaps the radiators need bleeding - on two of our three nights they were pretty well cold, though as there was also a very good electric heater, this wasn't a serious problem. Please don't publish this bit!)

  Superb cottage in a great location.

  Plenty to see and do in the area. Lovely view over The Esplanade, marina, and towards Wales. Variety of shops, pubs and cafes close by in town. The cottage is exceptionally clean (but it is early in the season) with 2 x double beds (no twin beds). The description of the cottage and the amenities is totally accurate. Not a place I would recommend if someone has mobility issues. The access and parking are out of the owners' control but it was a bit challenging at times as neighbouring properties have visiting tradesmen in large vans, and our car did get exceptionally dusty/gritty from building works. None of the latter would put us off of hiring the property again.
