• "As a group of 6 adults, 2 babies and a dog, we found this property to be very clean, well equipped and comfortable."

  The cottage spread over 3 floors is well designed and offers spacious accommodation. The property is in a great location, just a short stroll to the harbour, shops, pubs and cafes. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and thank the owner and housekeeping for their communications and efforts.

• "30 West Street is a lovely, large property suitable for a family."

  The rooms were spacious and the property benefitted from modern, well designed bathroom and en-suite shower room. The communal areas on the ground floor were comfortable and homely.

• "The property is beautiful, renovated to a high specification."

  The bathrooms are luxurious. The kitchen has a huge Smeg range, fridge with ice function and a great table and benches. When we arrived the house was immaculately clean which isn't always the case with Sykes dog friendly properties. The ONLY issue is the futons in the living room which look lovely but are singularly uncomfortable

• "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.

  The kitchen is really well equipped, the beds are very comfortable and the ensuite has a really good shower The house is very dog friendly with easy to clean floors and the provision of large crates is great so you don't need to take your own. The owner sent us a detailed guide including all of the appliance instructions prior to our holiday which was really helpful. We had a great weeks stay and would book again.

• "Very clean with spacious bedrooms but could really do with chairs and mirror in each."

  Sitting room and kitchen furniture not very comfortable and heavy to move. Felt the frosted glass at the bottom of sitting room and bedroom windows unnecessary and made it feel quite enclosed. Very pleasantly surprised by the courtyard with elderly but ample furniture, but it could do with a bit of maintenance. Now we are more or less post covid, a few suitable pages of instructions for the microwave and huge range would be far less frustrating than trying to find it on line. Make sure you take dishwasher tablets with you. Short walk to interesting harbour and town. We enjoyed rediscovering the area after many years.

  What marred our holiday was the none return of our £250 even though the cottage had been left in an excellent state. I emailed the owner twice to no avail with no reply given. Sykes then phoned her seven days after we returned home but she didn’t answer. Sykes finally got through on the Monday when the excuse was she forgot!!! Make your own minds up.

  These guests have received the full refund of the £250. There was a delay as most guests communicate directly with me via text and phone. Most guests are refunded on the Monday after they vacate the cottage. Property Owner

  Looked very small from the outside until you walked in. Rooms were decorated to a high standard and kitchen was very well equipped. Will definitely be booking again, close to beach and pubs a stone throw away. Only issues were people parking right out side the property who never had permits and people using your bins outside to dump there takeaways in. Carpet on the 1st floor landing had stains on there and a couple more mirrors

It is so close to all amenities with the town having a great variety of venues to eat and drink plus lots of entertainment on hand in the various pubs.

• "Facilities and maintenance are two very different areas to mark."

  The facilities were very good, kitchen very well equipped, nice bathrooms etc. The taps to the 1st floor bathroom were poorly placed on the handbasin and the shower hand attachment ‘fierce’, but nice bathrooms. The bed pillows a little flat, and the bed linen felt a little worn but were clean and well present. To the front of the property a little disappointing - rather unkept, it wouldn’t take much to improve and give a little curb appeal. The Sofa’s a tad uncomfortable, but overall, the property is well equipped, ideally located for the lovely town of Watchet, ideal for walkers and getting to Minehead, Taunton to name a few. We enjoyed our stay at #30. Thank you

  PROS: GOOD POSITION; GOOD PARKING FACILITIES AND GOOD MODERN BATHROMS AND KITICHEN UTLITIES. CONS: CLINICAL AND UN INTERESTING DECOR. LACK OF LOCAL INFORMATION AND PLACES TO VISIT ETC LOUNGE SEATI NG VERY UN COMFORTABLE AS TV WRONGLY SITUATED IN RELATIOIN TO SEATING POSITIONS LACK OF TOASTER AND MICROWAVE NO INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF NEW KITCHEN COOKER BED KNOBS LOOSE AND SOME OFF MODERN BATH NOT SUITABLE FOR INFRIMED OR ELDERLY PERSONS NO BOOK TO WRITE DEFECTS IN OR MAKE COMMENTS. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS PLACE UNTIL THE ABOVE COMMENTS ARE ADDRESSED AS WE HAVE BEEN TO WATCHET WE KNEW WHERE TO GO LOCALLY FOR PUBS ETC BUT FOR OTHERS IT IS NOT ADVISABLE..

  The property is designed for dog friendly guests with the decor reflecting the ability to keep the house clean and fresh. The house is over three floors it isn’t ideal for people with mobility problems. Because the house has 4 double bedrooms. Sykes market the property for 8 guests. Downstairs can be a bit snug if there are 8 adults staying in the property. The lounge seating can be moved around to suit yourselves. There is no toaster as these are difficult to keep clean and hygienic. The oven does have a grill. Guests welcome to bring their own toaster . It’s sad that these guests didn’t enjoy their stay at 30 West Street. Many other guests have stayed, loved and enjoyed the house. Property Owner

• "A brilliant location for my first visit to Somerset!"

  Although small, Watchet has the all the facilities one could wish, as well as access to the steam train and coastal explorer buses - a real hidden gem! West Street is a 5 minute walk from the harbour, and the on-site parking was a real bonus. I had a few problems with the top floor shower, which drained very slowly and the right hand side of the cooker didn't seem to work (cooking is not really my thing so this could well just have been me!) Also I couldn't find the blue bag for recycling plastic so took it home with me! (Previous occupants seemed to have left mixed recycling in the top garden instead of in the clearly labelled crates to the side of the property, as a result this could do with a bit of a tidy) Generally however West St. was very well provisioned with some interesting and stylish touches! A really comfortable stay in a great location to which I would very happily return.

  For most of our stay there were 5 of us, sometimes 6 which was fine but I think although you could accommodate 8 that might be a squeeze especially if the weather was too bad to go out. The large fridge freezer was very useful as was the dishwasher. Good to have off road parking opposite as West Street is quite narrow. All in all an enjoyable stay.

  Yes I agree downstairs is a bit tight for 8 adults, but Sykes base occupancy on number of bedrooms. This property has three very large bedrooms and one normal size bedroom . The outside area has seating which helps with providing extra space in good weather. Property Owner

  The cottage was very well equipped however if you enjoy cooking, bring your own sharp knives and blender. Great for family stays however more than two couples might find the downstairs living areas a bit of a squeeze. The whole house was super dog friendly as was the whole village so you’ll be very happy if you bring your dog (even blankets provided if you wanted to have your dog on the settee with you).

• "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.

  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.

  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
