• "Just back from a lovely week in Watchet."

  Cottage had everything we needed. Spent hours sat looking out over the sea. Watchet itself is a real treat, a number of pubs, bars and eateries and the friendliest people who all stopped for a chat. Great location to explore from, we loved Dunster and it's castle, Lynmouth and Lynton and Minehead as well as fossil beach nearby.

• "What a place."

  Everything that was promised was there and more. Loved the net loft as a hideaway with great views out to sea. Original quainess of the building maintained with modern twists.

  It’s on the downstairs window but not the two bedrooms at the front that are overlooked. The cottage is delightful .

• "A lovely, cosy and comfortable property."

  We didn't have the best weather but were snug and warm once we got the heating on. Housekeeper and owners on hand and very helpful, thank you. The loft room and the terrace are great additions to the house. Only grumble....no empty cupboard for food items, so had to leave it on the work surface. Overall a great location and a beautifully presented and cosy cottage in a quaint harbor village.

  Wasn't completely clean on arrival but was quickly rectified as was the fact the bath plug was not working New doors would be a benefit as when the wind blows you can feel it on your back on the couch No welcome pack of any sort was disappointing when compared to previous cottages we have stayed at

  Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback. We were sorry to hear that you encountered some issues on arrival. Our housekeeper attended the property as soon as she was made aware and these were quickly rectified for you. We have not noticed a draught when we've sat on the couch and nobody else has mentioned this either. Following on from the Covid pandemic, we stopped providing a welcome pack and it has not been possible to reinstate this. Aside from this we do hope that you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

• "An excellent holiday home."

  We found it spacious for four people, comfortable, quiet, well-equipped and full of character (especially the separate den/snug overlooking the sea). It is one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in. And Watchet is a good base - an interesting town with a harbour and a long history. Highly recommended!

• "We had a fabulous week in the Anchorage cottage."

  It was like a home from home with the added bonus of a Loft room with spectacular views out to sea. There was a Deck outside which also looks over a rugged beach and the sea. Beautiful cottage, beautiful scenery, lovely little town. (Watchet) Our only let down was the great British weather which was disappointing but out of our control.

  It was spotlessly clean and well equipped. The loft room was such a bonus, a fantastically serene place to sit and chill at the end of the night.

• "Lovely cottage."

  It was very comfortable. Very spacious bathroom with good shower and spacious bath which my husband used every morning to ease his bad hip! We really loved going across the little jitty to the raised platform with fantastic views which we did daily due to the hit weather. Quirky but lovely. Would highly recommend.

• "We had a glorious week in a very comfortable, bright and homely town house."

  Very good facilities and position close to the town center and quayside. Within easy walking distance of several beaches and good country and coastal walks. I would highly recommend this property. The Ship Inn hosted by Jason is a proper pub for good ales, cider and pub grub.

  Could do with a new mattress on double bed and the ironing boards cover had disintegrated also it would be nice to have some milk in fridge on arrival. Loved this property it’s by far the nicest we’ve stayed in.

  Thank you for your feedback your comments have been taken on board. Pleased you loved the cottage. Property Owner

• "This was the most gorgeous cottage with amazing views."

  There was a very small issue that was dealt with immediately, even though it was a bank holiday. The cleaning team are to be highly commended because the house is spotless. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen, lovely bathrooms, well located and a parking permit for a place just a couple of minutes walk away. We will be back.

• "Loved the house and location - extra special place we’ve visited 5 times now."

  Would have been nice to have some Christmas decorations or a welcome pack given it was Christmas week. Felt that we paid enough for the house to be cleaned after our stay - but we were asked to leave it how we found it (fully cleaned) and so cleaned three floors ourselves on our last day which was a lot to ask I felt.

  Thank you so much for your feedback and we are pleased to have welcomed you back for your 5th stay at Anchorage. We do indeed carry out a full changeover following each guests departure. Although we do request that guests leave the property in a satisfactory condition we do not expect you to carry out a full clean of the property. We would however like to thank you for leaving our property so clean following your departure and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

  Everything was spotlessly clean and the high end appliances were appreciated. Having access to a dedicated car parking space was good (and probably essential in high season). A good base to explore the surrounding area.

  Cottage is well positioned, with great views at rear (whilst front is on main road, there is limited traffic and little noise); well equipped and very comfortable. The ‘net loft’ lounge is a great bonus with its very comfy sofa and view of sea.

• "After staying here for the last 3 years the beds need to be replaced, i know some people say there comfy but i can tell you my backs in a poor state every time we have stayed."

  the paintwork is peeling off in the bathroom, the suite in the loft space could do with a good clean and now the price for next year as gone up to over £900 for the 3rd week in september, no thanks. good luck selling them at that price.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we do take this seriously and have taken your comments on board. We have replaced the king size mattress in the main bedroom so it is now a medium rather than firm tension. In addition, the property has now been redecorated. Pricing is dynamic and does increase during popular months, following a careful comparison with similar style holiday properties, reflecting the location and the work required to maintain the high standards at Anchorage.

• "Our 3rd visit to Anchorage… the location is super!"

  The views from the snug and the outside decking area are wonderful throughout the day and in any weather. The house is well fitted out with utilities, furniture and kept clean. Down at the beach you can spend hours investigating the rock pools and balancing stones on top of one another. Watchet itself has plenty going on, markets, an array of shops, pubs and takeaway restaurants! A great location to visit Minehead by bus or on the WSR… Porlock and the wonders of Exmoor… Devon is just on your doorstep and within 1hr 30 you can be at Croyde.

  The separate upstairs room was a godsend for my kids as it had a computer games station with consoles. The only other points I would make are as follows: the knives could do with a sharpening and a parasol for the table and benches outside on the decking.

• "The one disappointing thing about the holiday was that the bed linen and in particular the towels were not changed at the end of the first week."

  In the Property Summary it states that bed linen and towels are included in the rent. It does not specify that they will be changed nor does it state that they wont. Our experience of self-catering around the country is that where you are staying for 2 weeks the linen and towels are changed mid way and hence this was our expectation. We suggest that you should strongly advise your clients that this should be the case and ensure narrative to whether this is the case or not should be added to the Property Spec.

  A lot of stairs though for one family member so we had to change sleeping arrangements. The owners were really good, when we had a slight problem the day we left. Very supportive.
