“The Old Lighthouse is an interesting property to stay in.”
It is a lovely peaceful location close to the shops, harbour and heritage railway. But it would not suit everyone. The “upside down” accommodation, with the living room/kitchen being at the top means negotiating the stairs frequently. The last flight being steep & on a spiral with a rope handrail. Not suitable for those with any mobility issues. Dog owners should be aware.
Nice touch to have milk in the fridge and some snacks. Parking, other than for unloading/loading is not possible but the owner does arrange for a parking permit for use in any of the nearby P&D car parks.
Thank you for your review Ian. We are really pleased you had a good stay. In regards to the cottage layout we opted for a kitchen/living room on the top floor so guests can enjoy the harbour view from the dining area. It does require another flight of stairs, but we felt the effort was worth it, especially to watch the sunsets. Unfortunately, due to the age of the cottage, we are unable to alter the quaint but steep second staircase. However, we do highlight the stairs in the property details section to try and ensure guests are informed before they book. Thanks for staying at the old lighthouse Cottage to enjoy your Watchet trip. Warm regards, Amy and Alan
