Another fab week staying in Bridge Cottage. It's a lovely, quirky cottage right in the heart of Watchet, and the only disappointment was the low high tides which meant that the river basin we can see out of the window did not fill up at high tide. Highly recommended.

Great little cottage, beautifully furnished & has everything you need for a week's stay.Has a great view over the little river & tunnel, fun when the tide comes in.Within easy walking distance of everything in Watchet.One tip - if you buy the week's pass for the car park, you can use it in many other long-stay car parks in West Cornwall which saves you from paying to park on some days out.At the time of writing, it covers:Minehead: Quay West, Warren Road Upper, Clanville, Alexandra Road and North RoadPorlock: Porlock CentralDunster: Dunster Steep and Park StreetWilliton: Williton CentralWatchet: Anchor Street, Market Street, Harbour Road, Swain Street and West PierDulverton: Exmoor House, Lion Stables and GuildhallIt does NOT coverMinehead: Station and SummerlandPorlock: Doverhay
