    “The Old Lighthouse cottage is in a great central location in Watchet.”

    The sea view from the kitchen/lounge/diner is a real bonus! The welcome pack is thoughtful and varied and the kitchen is very well equipped. The sitting area is cosy for the evenings, the beds are are really comfy - we slept so well! The cottage is quirky, we liked the various feature and it is so quiet at night. Amy was very helpful providing information. We had a wonderful holiday!

About the location

WATCHET

Minehead 9 miles.

Watchet is a delightful, small Somerset harbour town with a maritime history going back over two millennia, where visitors may enjoy the variety of quaint shops on offer and watch the boats in the marina. Watchet attracts railway enthusiasts from all around, as The West Somerset Railway, twenty miles of preserved steam railway, passes through Watchet and continues through stunning scenery to the coastal town of Minehead, approximately nine miles away. There are superb walks along the coast from Watchet, while towards St Audries in the east, the Quantock Hills rise to 1,000 feet above the sea and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are to the west, within easy reach. Explore the many pretty coastal and inland villages including Porlock, with its steep hill and pretty winding streets, Dunster with its dramatic castle perched above the historic village and the busy resort of Minehead with its sandy beach, golf course and traditional seaside attractions. This is an excellent choice of holiday destination for rural beauty, dramatic coastline and splendid walking.
