Sea View Anchorage
Watchet
Somerset
Offering coastal staycations with stunning sea views and location, this Victorian fisherman’s cottage is situated beside the beach in the heart of Watchet, Somerset.
With fantastic views over the beach as far as Wales, it is a smart cottage for families or friends.
The courtyard has a very special feature: stairs which take you up into the old net drying loft which is now a comfortable look-out with amazing Bristol Channel views and comfy seats for watching TV or playing on the PlayStation 3.
From the pavement, you enter the main cottage with its charming sitting room with dining area and well-equipped kitchen.
Head up the steep stairs to a double bedroom with big bathroom, and then up more stairs to two charming bedrooms under the eaves.
At the back is the courtyard, which was once a hub of Victorian activity, but is now enclosed and partly covered and has a wet room shower and WC.
From here you can go through stable doors to a footpath which you share with the neighbour and your own terrace above the beach, a lovely place to sit in the sun and enjoy drinks or meals at the picnic table.
The shops, restaurants and pubs of friendly little Watchet are just 100 yards from this cottage, or watch boating life in the harbour marina where Coleridge is said to have met the ancient mariner.
You can enjoy fishing trips to catch your supper or take a nostalgic trip on the wonderful steam railway to Minehead.
With a little beach here and another sandy beach at Blue Anchor Bay, plus the Quantock Hills nearby, there’s plenty of opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.
Anchorage really is a wonderful base for the best of Somerset’s lovely attractions
WATCHET
Minehead 9 miles.
Watchet is a delightful, small Somerset harbour town with a maritime history going back over two millennia, where visitors may enjoy the variety of quaint shops on offer and watch the boats in the marina. Watchet attracts railway enthusiasts from all around, as The West Somerset Railway, twenty miles of preserved steam railway, passes through Watchet and continues through stunning scenery to the coastal town of Minehead, approximately nine miles away. There are superb walks along the coast from Watchet, while towards St Audries in the east, the Quantock Hills rise to 1,000 feet above the sea and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are to the west, within easy reach. Explore the many pretty coastal and inland villages including Porlock, with its steep hill and pretty winding streets, Dunster with its dramatic castle perched above the historic village and the busy resort of Minehead with its sandy beach, golf course and traditional seaside attractions. This is an excellent choice of holiday destination for rural beauty, dramatic coastline and splendid walking.
