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.
Upon entering the cottage through its private front door, guests are welcomed into a large entrance hall. The ground floor features an en-suite super king-size double bedroom with French doors that lead to the garden, offering fabulous views over Exmoor and the Washford River Valley. The majority of the living space is located on the first floor, which includes another super king-size double bedroom, a standard double bedroom, a bathroom, a fitted kitchen, and a conservatory sitting room with stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The property also boasts secluded off-road parking and an enclosed private lawned garden with wonderful views of the Brendon Hills and Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor, making it an ideal spot for relaxation.
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. The West Somerset Steam Railway line passes through Watchet, offering a scenic journey through the Vale of Taunton to the coastal town of Minehead, providing a charming and relaxed travel experience.
The cottage's location also provides easy access to the Quantock Hills and Exmoor National Park, both known for their stunning moorland, ancient oak woodlands, deep valleys, and rugged coastline, including the highest sea cliffs in England.
