The Old Lighthouse Cottage is a charming holiday retreat located in the picturesque harbour town of Watchet, Somerset, in the South West of England. This reverse-level cottage accommodates up to four guests across two floors and is pet-friendly, welcoming two small furry companions. The property is designed over three levels, offering stunning views of the nearby coast, Watchet Harbour, and the Bristol Channel, with the backdrop of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and Exmoor National Park nearby. The nautical theme throughout the cottage adds to its coastal charm, making it an ideal getaway for families and friends seeking relaxation and adventure.
Upon arrival, guests can conveniently park in a nearby free car park before entering through the characterful front door. The second floor features a bright and spacious open-plan living area, complete with a contemporary kitchen, dining space with scenic views, and a cozy TV area. As night falls, guests can descend the rope-lined staircase to the beautifully appointed bedrooms, which showcase beamed ceilings and charming decor, providing a restful haven after a day of exploration. The cottage's location allows for easy access to the vibrant town of Watchet, rich in maritime history and culture.
Watchet boasts a variety of amenities, including family-run shops, cafes, restaurants, and pubs, alongside its newly constructed East Quay, which hosts a café, art gallery, and studios. The lively esplanade is a hub for local markets, street fairs, and music events, reflecting the town's diverse culture. For those looking to explore further afield, an excellent travel network is available, including a regular bus service to Taunton and Minehead, as well as the Exmoor Coaster open-top tour bus that traverses the stunning Exmoor National Park, providing breathtaking views along the way.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to enjoy in the surrounding areas, with abundant walking routes in both the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park. Popular trails include the Mineral Line and walks around Wimbleball Lake, which also offer kayaking and paddleboarding opportunities for the whole family. A visit to the medieval village of Dunster, home to a resident castle and a charming tearoom, is also recommended, along with a trip to Dunster Marsh Beach for stunning coastal views. The Old Lighthouse Cottage serves as a perfect base for creating lasting memories in the beautiful county of Somerset.
