"A quiet, cosy, and well-furnished retreat, which acted as a convenient base from which to explore the beautiful surrounding coastal areas, and, Quantock Hills."
The road leading to the property was a bit steep to drive up. As it is a no-through road, very few vehicles passed by the house, we saw more dog-walkers or joggers if anything. Which also meant it was extremely quiet there, both day and night. We liked that there was secure parking guaranteed due to a gravel courtyard directly outside the house. The house was as in the photos, yet the living room area with a soft sofa was pleasantly updated with two comfortable white armchairs, instead of the IKEA chair, and a wood and glass coffee table. A comfortable modern house with its small cottage garden, it was certainly large enough to accommodate our family of three. The underfloor heating made the whole of the downstairs feel cosy and toasty. Beds were good, although the larger room with one double bed was, to us, a more supportive mattress, than those in the other bedroom. Whilst we did encounter one issue, we flagged it quickly and it was promptly assessed and dealt with by owner, Phyllis, of next door. She was available, very friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. We appreciated the thoughtful and tasty welcome pack of homemade scones and jam, and, clotted cream. From the house, we had short walks to Watchet harbour, hunted for fossils at local beaches, boarded at Watchet for magical Steam Railway journeys, and enjoyed days out at Dunster beach and Castle, Minehead, and other area attractions. It was a nice house, and, we had a relaxing stay.

"Lovely cottage, very clean, cosy and warm in a very quiet location with nice welcome pack that was appreciated."
All the facilities required to make it a home from home stay with plenty of places to visit nearby and good dog walks on your doorstep. We had a brilliant stay and apart from a rather steep walk back from town for oldies cannot recommend it enough.

"The property itself was fabulous, the hostess Phylis was very welcoming, providing a lovely starter pack of milk, butter, cream, homemade jam and scones."
Cleanliness was spot on. Our only disappointment were the mattresses, in one of the bedrooms there was a single and double bed. They were very lumpy and you could actually feel the springs on the double one. The other bedroom with just a double bed was ok. The property is situated at the top of a steep hill, which would perhaps limit some people from walking to and from the town. I think this should be mentioned in the description.

"A lovely, clean and well kept property that was the perfect base for exploring Watchet and the surrounding area."
The homemade scones, jam and cream on arrival were the perfect welcome after a summer Saturday on the M5. Some great dog walks on the doorstep, avoiding the roads. It was Summertime week in town while we were there so there was a lot going on, with craft and market stalls every day, live music, and outdoor cinema on the Quay on one evening. We enjoyed walking by the harbour at night and being able to take our fish and chips into the local bars, and enjoying the live music and local ciders. A very relaxing week.

"Hill Coach House was a lovely property, it gave us the space we needed and was a really good base to explore Somerset."
Our host was warm and welcoming, and the local information provided proved really helpful. Our boys loved being able to see the sea from property and hearing the steam train.
-
"Great cottage, great location close to the centre of Watchet."
We found the cottage was as detailed
-
"The property was better than its description, there’s an enclosed outdoor garden area where we could let our dog Nellie out in safety."
Phyl and Dave couldn’t have made us more comfortable. We had a wonderful stay that flew past too quickly.
-
"We had a wonderful week at Hill Coach House."
The premises is lovely and light with all the comforts of home and fantastic views. A lovely thoughtful treat on arrival of fresh homemade scones, jam and cream. Perfectly placed for walks with the dog in the countryside in one direction and a five minute walk into the picturesque harbour in town of Watchet and the fantastic Pebbles Tavern. It’s only a short drive to Exmoor to the West and the Quantock Hills to the East and all they have to offer. Definitely coming back.

"Perfect holiday."
Hill Coach House was the perfect place for the most relaxed stay. Within a short walk into the town & harbour. The accommodation is modern, warm and comfortable with every thing needed for a great stay. Great off road parking (a must for me). Made to feel very welcome by the owners. Already looking to book again!!!

"Had a really lovely stay."
Such a peaceful setting and lots of walking. Hope to be back one day. Thank you for the delicious scones.
-
"A very comfortable and cosy winter week at Watchet."
Thank you very much.
-
"A great holiday cottage, just a short walk and you are in Watchet with everything on hand."
-
"The hosts were very friendly, taking the trouble to make fresh scones and supplying butter, cream and jam for a scrumptious tea time treat."
Any litle niggles were dealt with promptly. Personally I found the bed rather lumpy, but that is maybe a personal thing. The wi-fi signal was intermittent but it wasn't really a problem for us.
-
"Excellent location with pubs, shops and tourist attractions all within ten minute walk from the cottage."
Newly converted, very comfortable with all necessary comforts
-
"The accommodation is very comfortable, clean and excellent in all ways in terms of fittings."
The host was lovely and made scones too, leaving milk and loo roll and essentials. In comparison with other properties, the only issue we had was the one loo, with the conversion I guess it was not possible to get one in upstairs. This would have meant a

Very comfortable, clean and convenient for visiting the area Welcome groceries and homemade scones a lovely gesture Good to have host as neighbour , welcoming but not intrusive
-
"The owner was very helpful and has a lovely nature."
The cottage is a great base to enjoy the area, We did not use the car all week as there is enough within walking distance to have kept us occupied all week, found many walks with our dog, the steam train station a short walk away and also the lovely harbour. For anyone that enjoys a drink there is a cider and ale bar that will let you buy fish and chips from the chippy next door and eat it whilst drinking one of there many ciders in the bar. All in all a great week .
-
"Delightful little cottage, clean, modern and spacious, the owner next door was very accommodating without being intrusive."
Super little patio garden, the area of St Decumans is lovely, some super walks on the doorstep. Very dog friendly. Couldn't fault it - 5 stars!
-
"We met the owner who was very friendly, the cottage was really excellent Extremely well provided for with all possible equipment that might be needed, all of very good quality."
We would be happy to recommend the cottage to anybody.
-
"Everything you need, and a five minute walk to the harbour and the couple were very friendly."
Love the scones.
-
"A lovely, homely and comfortable cottage, a much appreciated welcome of scones and home made jam too."
. We will definitely be back, perfect home from home.. If I had one small niggle it would be the bed being a double, most people have a kingsize these days so going to a smaller bed takes a bit of getting used to, not a complaint in any way shape or form, just a preference.. :D
-
"Had a lovely autumn break at Hill Coach House."
Immaculately clean and comfortable. Great location and great host. Very highly recommended.
-
"Only problem the strength of the wi fi"
-
"A warm, comfortable cottage with friendly owner."
A quiet, relaxing spot from which to explore Exmore. When we next visit this area this is the first cottage we will check for availability.
-
"Owner very friendly, and helpful, and greeted us with keys."
House just as described. Very clean and comfortable. Lovely seating patio area outside and ample off-road parking. Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Watchet 5 a minute drive away but guests just need to be aware that the road from the town to the property is steep. WFI is available but signal is weak.

"What a wonderful cottage, The photos do not do Hill coach house justice."
The owner was fantastic and left a lovely welcome pack, and was on hand for any information we needed about the location. The cottage was spotless and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Highly recommended this property. Would definitely go back again.

"5 star accommodation!"
Exceptionally clean and very comfortable! Homemade scones, jam and clotted cream was a nice touch to welcome us. Also dog treats was enjoyed by my hearing dog! Lovely patio area to enjoy the last of the sun at the end of day after your adventure!

Had a great time loved the place close to couple of nice restaurants and walked down to the harbour and a few cheeky birds on the feeder and Rosie the dog loved the treats we loved the jam thanks to you all

Warm and bright interior. All utensils for kitchen were good. Fridge with small freezer box.

"Renting is new to us as for many years we have used our touring caravan."
We sold it last year and so had to find accommodation that would welcome our dog too. We were 100% satisfied with everything - I only hope we can find another in a different part of the country later this year - but I doubt it will tick all the boxes this one did. Regards Trish and Steve Williams
-
"A lovely property in a calm, relaxing part of Watchet, yet only a 5 minute walk into the centre."
I think the accommodation and garden are both nicer than the photos on the website.
-
"Hill coach house is a beautiful holiday home, the owners have thought of everything you need for a comfortable stay, the cottage is clean, bright, comfortable and roomy."
It is also close lots of lovely places to visit. I would definitely recommend
-
"Such a lovely cottage the owners made out of this building."
Two spacious bedrooms upstairs with large windows and lots of light - even sea view from the master. Ample storage in the chests of drawers and wardrobe to store the clothes. There is also an additional wardrobe on the top of the stairs in the eves. Kitchen has everything you need with microwave, toaster, cafetiere and even dog bowls. Instant coffee, sugar and tea bags were provided and the cream tea on arrival (scones, butter, clotted cream, home made plum jam and milk) were such a lovely gesture! The whole ground floor is tiled with underfloor heating which is great after the muddy walks we had given we arrived a day after storm Eunice hit and we encountered the aftermath with lots of rain on Sunday. There are walks right behind the house leading to fields for quick dog walks nearby. Town centre and the fossil beach are 5-15 minutes walk away (depending where you go) and two co-op and a Spar are in easy walking distance. WiFi does work if you use the booster and access through the TPLink network, we had good download speed at 9MB so no issue for browsing to check nearby attraction opening times etc. The bathroom is very big with walk in shower. It would be lovely to have some shelves in the little alcove in there. Towels were provided and warmed by the towel heater. The patio/garden area is half stone tiles half pebbles and great to quickly let the dog out in the morning, it is fenced too. Unfortunately, our dog found the one space in the corner where the wall has no additional high fence and he jumped in the road a few times which is literally behind this wall, the wall is not low though, he is fairly big it seems :-). The owners said they are looking into adding fence there too though. A dog bed and biscuits were also provided. The owners and their little dog are lovely and very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend this cottage!

"Wonderful comfortable cottage, beautifully modern and clean."
Loads of space and great location for beach and country walks with our dog. Hostess was very friendly and gave us loads of tips for walks and things to do. I highly recommend.
-
"Very nice property in a lovely location."
Very disappointed that this property is listed as having WiFi but it does not. We would not have chosen this property if it had been listed correctly. Having no wifi had a negative impact on our holiday as we could not connect to netflix nor mobile apps. This should be addressed by Sykes with the owners, as they are fully aware of it.

"The host was lovely she was there welcoming us with a welcome pack and the cottage was very dog friendly"
-
"Warm and welcoming host and cottage."
Lovely secluded garden, with patio area and Seaview from the bedroom. Cottage ideally situated, short walk into Watchet where we found a good bus service to Minehead and Taunton, plus the Steam Train. Pebbles Bar and Esplanade Club a must if you fancy sampling the local ciders. Would definately book here again, clean cottage with everything we needed with scones and homemade jam on arrival.
-
"What a wonderful setting and what lovely landlords."
The house was spotless and catered for every need. Plenty of space, comfortable surroundings. The small garden area allowed us to sit out in the evenings and watch the world go by. Thoroughly recommend this property.
-
"Fabulous house, everything you needed was there, great location and very friendly hosts, thank you."
-
"Absolutely stunning location and cottage."
Has everything a family would need, very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped cottage and the owners are very friendly and helpful.
-
"Loved our stay for so many reasons the owners were so friendly and helpful and gave many recommendations for walks around the area and places to eat."
The property has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and the milk bread and jam provided on arrival is a thoughtful gesture. The house is set in a lovely peaceful location with a short walk from a stunning countryside views and the harbour. It’s a great base from which to visit the local areas and we would definitely recommend Porlock village and weir. We took our little dog and the house and area is very dog friendly. We spent many evening relaxing on the patio area with a glass of wine and I guess you can tell we just loved it!
-
"The hosts were very friendly and helpful pointing us in the direction of places to visit and see."
The welcome package of bread, butter, jam and milk was really thoughtful and the extra pet friendly touches were great eg a dog bed, food bowls and a tub of pet treats. The accommodation was lovely and peaceful and as this is a new property very clean and comfortable.
