  The property was very well presented, with a new kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, en suite shower etc all equipped to a very high standard.

  It has obviously been refurbished extremely well. All the kitchen appliances were very good quality, and very clean.The property is, as stated in the information, very dog friendly, although there were no doggy smells at all. It was very clean throughout. There were 2 allocated parking spaces in the residents car park directly opposite the property. There is also a public car park about 250 yards down the road if there were more than 2 cars. It was also most helpful to have an email from the owner a few days before our arrival with comprehensive instructions. Well done! However we have one or two other comments. We booked the property as it will accommodate 8 people sleeping, which it does very well. However the lounge has 2 settees which only allows 6 to sit comfortably. We were originally going to be 7 adults, later reduced to 6, so it just worked out OK. The kitchen (which is about 10ft square) doubles up as a dining area, and the clever table arrangement expands very well, however there are only 2 benches which will sit 4 people, but we had to bring 2 garden chairs in for the other 2 people. If we'd needed to sit 8, there would have been not space to work in the kitchen as well. While the sleeping arrangements are fine for 8 adults, the living space is really maxed out with 6 adults.

  30 West Street is the most dog friendly cottage we have stayed in, beds, bowls, throws and cages in the bedrooms if needed.

  Our three girls enjoyed being outside in the two secure areas. The lower being a patio (which could be gated) and the upper garden with raised beds and slated areas. The cottage kitchen was extremely well-equipped with everything you might need including a lovely welcome tray with different teas, coffee, sugar, milk and biscuits. The plumbed in cold water and ice machine particularly welcome as we were extremely lucky with the weather, sunny every day. Every room was beautifully furnished, fresh and very clean. The property has two allocated parking spaces right across the road which was very useful. The town’s folk made Watchet an unbelievably welcoming and friendly place to stay. Almost every business is dog friendly so no problems going shopping, eating out or having a pint or GandT. West Beach is rocky and although first impression doesn’t look great there is a ‘boating lake’ which doubled up as a doggy swimming pool and our girls loved running amongst the rocks. If you are looking for a dog friendly holiday you really can not beat 30 West Street and the town of Watchet. 5 ⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ all the way. Thank you for a wonderful holiday

  Good communication between the owner and Skyes in advance of our stay.

  On arriving at the period house in West Street, keys were easy to locate and on entering after a cold day, the warmth greeted you. We were 5 adults, 2 under 3's and a teenager. Also 2 small dogs There was plenty of room in the house itself, lovely large bedrooms and main bathroom, however the kitchen table was a bit of a squeeze. It does extend but the fridge freezer was in the way a little. The kitchen was well equipped with a large range cooker, a large american style fridge freezer, dishwasher, and if needed a washing machine. Plenty of plates, bowls etc and also childrens plates and forks which was useful. Outside there is a seating area which is plenty large ( 2 outdoor tables and chairs)and then a further bench in a separate area, very quirky. Beds were comfortable and the house was very warm. The settees in the lounge were firm to sit on, but were fine for a short break. The road it is on doesn't have much traffic and its a couple of minutes to the sea and into the main shopping area. Parking was off the road in a barriered private carpark. So much to do in the local area, we'll have to return and I'd happily stay at no 30 again.

  We had a lovely week at 30 West street and it suited our family of 5 well.

  The property was very clean and dog friendly. Kitchen and bathrooms are lovely and very tastefully decorated. Shower is great. Location was perfect, 2 minute walk down to beach and 5 minute walk to shops and Coop. Communication with the owner was good and issues promptly dealt with. Oven mittens were sent to arrive the next day after we let the owner know that the current ones had holes in and the other ones had gone missing. The washing machine had broken before we arrived which the owner let us know about and it was fixed before we left. The small rear courtyard is a nice secluded place to sit and the few steps up to the small garden behind was useful for our dog. Worth checking the rear gate is closed as one time it was left open when a neighbour came through with his push bike. We would have liked a toaster rather than using the grill which was so quick I kept burning it! If a party of 8 stayed we weren’t sure where everyone would sit in the kitchen and lounge. Top floor rooms were hot in the heat wave and some fans would have been good. Overall, we had a lovely week and would recommend this property.

  We had a lovey stay at Saint Pancras Cottage.

  It was cosy and fire wood left for a fire. There was an Aga and a normal oven, 2 fridges, enough plates and cutlery and a good dishwasher. Our dog loved the garden as well as the kids. The snooker table was great fun although missing most of the pockets. The garden was beautiful but could do with a bit of weeding. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and would love to go back. It is 'old style' but I did like it about the cottage, making it feel homely and more relaxed with the family and dog. There is nothing wrong with the cottage itself and well maintained. It was clean and beds very comfy. We also had loads to do in the local area. We only stayed for 4 nights but would have been happy to stay much longer. We loved it and would go back. Lovely host too, that was friendly and recommended some lovely places to eat and visit. Dunster Castle and Village is around the corner and so beautiful.
