Moments from the quaint harbour of Watchet sits this fantastic townhouse. Spread out over three levels, there is space for all to call their own, including your canine companion. Feel refreshed and revived after relaxing in style at home, then head out and explore the great outdoors which is studded with moors, beaches and charming countryside spots where sticks and streams await.

Light floods into the lounge through doors to the delightful Juliet balcony. In milder months, throw them open and let the warmth trickle in; when evenings are chilly, snuggle up on the sofas and make yourself cosy. The ground floor kitchen/diner is a beautiful hub which two and four-legged guests can enjoy together. Well-equipped to rustle up tasty treats, picnics or three-course dinners, the kitchen has plenty of room to welcome all hands (and paws) on deck. Three bedrooms reside over the three floors; all are calming and tranquil places to rest heavy heads and doze into a deep sleep. A doggy dream, the garden is fully enclosed and is the perfect place for a morning tail wag.

7 miles from the edge of Exmoor National Park, hop in the car and discover the magic of the moors. Rugged beauty, exciting scents and inviting rivers lie around every corner; walk the well-trodden paths or explore off the beaten track. Dogs are welcomed all year round at Dunster Beach, 8 miles away. Splash in the sea and frolic on the part-sandy, part-pebbly beach before filling hungry tummies at a traditional pub in the heart of the village. Closer to home, stroll the streets of Watchet and lap up the bustling atmosphere of this quaint waterside town.

  • 3 bedrooms - 1 king-size with TV, 1 twin and 1 double (located on the ground floor)
  • 2 bathrooms - Bathroom with shower over bath and WC and 1 en-suite shower room with WC and bidet and a ground floor separate WC

This is an absolutely fantastic house situated within easy reach of Watchet. The house was extremely comfortable and has one of the best equipped kitchens we have ever stayed in! The bed in the top bedroom is particularly comfortable and we really didnt want to come home.

The cottage was spotless and had everything we wanted. Our dog enjoyed the enclosed little garden and the car parking area was fine for one car. There is a car park very near the cottage which we didnt have to use, but I believe was 5 per day.
