"Very nicely presented and equipped cottage in a great location near the centre of Watchet."
Comfortable lounge, large TV with all streaming channels, dining room, very smart range cooker and a king size bed in the master bedroom with a view of the Bristol Channel. Good walking from the cottage east and west along the coast path and Cleeve Abbey and Dunster Castle close by. We had a great holiday and will almost certainly visit again.
Ian thank you so much for your kind comments.... I do really appreciate it. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay and very much look forward to a return visit.... Thanks again

"Thefront garden of the property certainly didn’t match the picture."
Very overgrown grass not an area you would want to spend time in and neither was the back courtyard, in need of wall repainting and looking cared for. Not very comfortable seating downstairs but bedroom pleasant with large comfortable bed.
Bathroom good size the shower was lovely.

"Property looked good although we didn’t stay at all because the location was not to our liking."
Only comments regarding the property are that the gardens were disappointing and not really suitable for dogs and the vehicular access is very limited with no turning space.
Thanks for the feedback However you haven't really elaborated why the gardens aren't suitable for dogs there are 3 areas front.,back, and a rear yard all are secure and provide an off leash safe environment. There is ample parking for one vehicle and a turning area at the end of the lane.

"We liked the cottage even though it needed a good dusting, the front and back garden were totally unkempt, my husband had to give the front bench a good scrubbing before we could sit on it."
But the worst thing was the little road to the property, we had to leave 2 days early as our Hyundi Tucson was too big for it and we now have damaged wheels which will cost a lot of money to get refurbished, so unless you have a very little car don't even try it
Hi thanks for the feedback.... I have addressed the issues you have raised with the cleaner who have now carried out a deep clean. The gardens have now been cleared..... I'm somewhat surprised regarding your comments about the lane. The lane serves all the houses and would appear to be sufficient for the residents. I drive a Range Rover and have never had an issue. Many thanks

"We had a great stay in Watchet and love the area."
The position of the house is perfect to walk everywhere. Although the garden is separated by a lane it wasn’t a problem getting the dogs across and we could sit with a morning coffee and see the sea. We did mention to you that the heavy wardrobe door was broken when we opened it but we didn’t really need to use it. Lovely to hear the steam trains in the distance. Great view from the main bed too. Lovely, quiet, chilled stay.
Thanks for your kind feedback... Wardrobe door repaired on your departure many thanks Paul

"The cottage was lovely and in a great position to access the town."
Generally very comfortable with everything we needed for our stay.
The only slight grumble was the quality of the cutlery provided - knives and forks that wobble in the handles don't make for easy use!! There were also no oven gloves provided.
Having said that, we really enjoyed our stay.
Thank you for kind feedback..... I will upgrade the cutlery and provide oven gloves

"- Heating was great, advanced and easy to control."
- Bed mattresses and pillows were worn out in the secondary bedroom and could be improve.
- Cleanliness under the chairs and beds could be improved before check-in as there was a lot of dust.
- Hoover needed emptying at check-in.
- Kitchen amenities were very satisfactory.
- Main Bathroom was amazing, however the cupboards and doors were squeaky which disturbed our baby's sleep.
- Road to the parking slot was tight but clearly an added value to us.
- Nice, quiet and friendly neighbourhood.
Hi thanks for your lovely feedback... I will speak to the cleaners regarding your comments.... Many thanks Paul

"Perfectly situated only minutes from the lovely village of Watchet with its many and varied attractions."
Our two cockapoos enjoyed investigating the detached garden which is dog safe. High spec kitchen and bathroom which added to our enjoyable stay. Car parking is a little tight but not a major issue. Very peaceful location with just the birdsong and occasional train whistle. All in all a very good choice for strolling around the village and beyond into the Brendon Hills.

"The property was very convenient for walking into Watchet, nicely fitted in kitchen & bathroom and all ready for our stay."
It was great to feel our two little dogs were welcome. (In the front garden they could have got past the planter into next door’s garden if we hadn’t been watching them.)
We were aware that we needed to provide washing up liquid but it seems a pity that this isn’t provided : just another little thing to remember to pack. The cake and cider were appreciated though !
We would definitely recommend the property to anyone looking for somewhere in Watchet.

"The property was lovely and had everything needed for our stay."
Lovely welcome pack and nice that dog bowls and dog towel were provided. The property was very clean on arrival and perfect location for our short stay in Watchet and visiting the surrounding area.
The only downside was the parking, we have a transporter van and had great difficulty accessing the parking and then getting back out of the space. We chose to park elsewhere for our stay which did not cause us a problem. However, I believe there should be more detail about the parking to explain how tight the parking area is in case you have a larger car.
Thank you Anne, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay in Watchet. Thank you for the feedback about the parking we will update the information on the description. We are pleased it didn’t hamper your stay.

"A cracking little cottage!"
It was a last minute booking but we were not disappointed.
The cottage is well equipped, including quality appliances. Dog friendly flooring, dog bowls and towels provided too. Parking took a little practice, but convenient and great to have in such a location.
A comfortable cosy retreat!
The welcome cake was greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your feedback Sarah, so glad you enjoyed your stay in our cottage. Hopefully you will visit again.

"We loved our stay, so did our puppy Pickles."
The cottage was ideal for a week in that area. The parking is a nice addition as it’s not an easy place to find free spaces. The Woodburner added a lovely warmth in the recent chilly nights. The kitchen and bathroom are well equipped. The decor is lovely and fresh.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are glad you and your puppy Pickles had a fab holiday.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
We would have liked a better selection of kitchen utensils, as only 1 frying pan and 1 small saucepan, not suitable for self catering. A blind or curtain in the living room would be a good idea on dark, winter nights. The cottage is in a great location, finished to a high standard and very comfortable. We’d love to return one day.
Thank you for your feedback, we love to hear from our guests.
We will ensure there is additional kitchen utensils and add a curtain in the living room to ensure cosy winter nights in front of the log fire.
Hopefully you will benefit from them on your next stay with us

"We booked a short break and on initial inspection property seemed ok - the parking is down a very narrow pathway on a slope so I wouldn’t recommend it if you have a half decent car or less than excellent driving skills."
There was no welcome pack - a little disappointing but not essential, however the main issue was that the heating and hot water had been switched off - there was a note on wall saying we could put it on if we needed it ! (who wouldn’t need a wash ?) but the boiler did not ignite. It was August but it was raining and cold and we had a child with us - we certainly would not have booked a cottage without hot water. We tried the owners number but no response & contacted Sykes but no one got back to us until day 3 ! An engineer came out to the property and confirmed that there was a problem and re started the boiler system so for the last 4 hours of our holiday we had hot water ! Woo hoo ! The owners have offered us £70 - which is actually probably the amount that would have saved from us not using the hot water anyway but even more disappointing is that Sykes have taken no ownership and responsibility for our holiday - I would never have booked a holiday where I couldn’t wash or shower - it’s not the Middle Ages ! Additionally there is a washing machine but nowhere to dry clothes. I believe this is a new rental but it would seem that the owners are more concerned with saving pennies than renting a holiday let to a good useable standard where people return. I would recommend staying elsewhere and using another company to book with. There’s plenty more cottages by the sea !
We are very sorry that your short break with us was not as you expected. We want all of our guests to have a fabulous break by the sea. Previous guests have not had any issues and have said they would return.
Welcome packs are always left for our guests and I apologise if there was not one when you arrived.
Your booked you break with us for 3 nights, we were not contacted by Sykes about the problems you were having until your final night.
A heating engineer was at the property within an hour and reported back to us that no faults were found.
Both of our contact numbers and email address are in the visitors hand book but we received no missed calls or emails directly from yourself.
The roadway to the cottage is narrow as lots of lanes in Somerset are but is used by all residents to access their parking bays without any issues.
Thank you for your feedback regarding somewhere to dry clothes we will now provide an airer for our guests.

Bathroom with walk in Shower and roll top bath Quiet area near to the train station and local pubs and shops. The parking is tight (for a large car) as the lane is very narrow but its very safe for the car. lovely little garden and courtyard to enjoy relaxing drink after exploring. Perfect for short or long stay.
