Coastguards Cottage

About this property

Set in a commanding position within the wonderful town of Watchet, overlooking the vibrant harbour Marina, you will find this picturesque dwelling. Ideally positioned on the west coast of Somerset, Coastguard's Cottage provides the perfect retreat for a couple or small family of four seeking an unforgettable escape by the seaside. As you open up the door to this quaint abode, be welcomed into a pleasant country kitchen with attractive cream cabinets and a striking range cooker, where you can cook up many delectable meals for you and your loved ones. Continue through to the warm and welcoming dining room and exchange your most memorable moments from the holiday so far, before cracking open a refreshing bottle of bubbly and raising a glass to precious time spent with loved ones.

Warm your toes by the electric fire, as you cosy up on one of the plush grey sofas on a cold winter's night, or spend warm summer evenings soaking up the last of the sunshine in the well-manicured gardens as you breathe in the salty sea air and embrace your magnificent surroundings. Climb the staircase to the first floor and admire the nautical charm of the airy family bathroom, as you relax and unwind with a soak in the tub, or delight in a brisk morning shower ahead of an action-packed day. Retire to the homely double bedroom with an attractive oak bedframe and an abundance of storage, or discover a quaint twin bedroom where you can tuck-in the children and send them off to sleep with their favourite bedtime story.

When ready to tear yourself away from this restful abode, be sure to head to the centre of Watchet for a stroll around the marina, and watch as colourful boats bob peacefully in the waters whilst indulging in a mouth-watering portion of fish and chips. Learn of the town’s rich maritime history with a tour of the Watchet Boast Museum, or a visit to the Watchet Harbour Lighthouse. See the fortress remains of Daws Castle, or stop by the village of Washford and uncover the 15th century monastery remains of Cleeve Abbey. Spend the day at the Tropiquaria Wild Life Park and meet the exotic residents and majestic sea life, or embark on a scenic train ride at Dunster Railway Station.

Explore the luscious green landscapes of Exmoor National Park and Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with awe-inspiring hikes and exhilarating bike rides, or experience an animal encounter like never before with the North Devon Hawk Walks. Admire the gorgeous gardens of the National Trust owned Fyne Court and sink your toes into the soft white sands of Doniford Beach. With all this to look forward to and so much more on your self-catered stay in Somerset, be sure to book a stay at Coastguards Cottage.
