The Well House Cottage, located in Watchet, Somerset, in the South West of England, is a charming property that sleeps five people in three bedrooms. Recognized in the Times 50 Best Places to Stay in the UK, the cottage offers stunning views towards Exmoor and the Brendon and Quantock Hills. This cosy accommodation forms part of a Georgian former rectory and is situated down a quiet private lane next to the 13th-century church of St Decuman on the outskirts of the picturesque coastal village of Watchet.

Watchet itself is a delightful coastal village with much to offer, including an active marina, an old port, Jurassic coastline with fossil beaches, quaint houses, pubs, restaurants, and shops. Visitors can enjoy the local attractions or simply relax on the Esplanade with a locally-brewed cider or ice cream.
