Fabulous accommodation.. Clean, comfortable, cosy. Everything we needed for a wonderful holiday. Car parking space was a bit of a squeeze for a larger vehicle. Other than this an excellent choice for a relaxing week away.

Mrs Walker, September 2020

Beautiful accommodation, very clean, modern and spacious.. Close to pubs, shops and the harbour. A lovely well kept garden with a comfortable seating area. So many lovely places to visit that are just a short drive away. Plus we were blessed with lovely weather the whole week. Perfect!!

Mr Dudok, August 2020

The bakery is well equipped very clean bed super comfy fab pillows, a sweet garden to sit out and have breakfast or a drink at night.. Watchet is great pubs to eat in and a super market. Parking tested my reversing skills I have a 4x4 it's tight but can be done. I would definately go back and I will tell everyone to stay at the bakery as it made our holiday fantastic thank you.

The cottage was just perfect for the two of us.. The open plan layout downstairs was great for relaxing together, watching telly, doing a bit of work and the odd bit of cooking. The upstairs bedroom is airy and bright, but cosy at night. The location was ideal right in the centre of Watchet. Everything you could possibly need was close at hand, with many excellent pubs and cafes. We were unable to park in the designated parking space as it was too tight to manouvre into. We realised if we could park there, we wouldn’t be able to open the doors. We parked in the street and had no further problems. Overall this property was an outstanding place to spend a relaxed holiday.

Mrs Yates, January 2020

The Bakery cottage is very homely.. As soon as you walk through the door you feel at home straight away. You have everything that you can possibly need and more, for a 1 bedroom this cottage is surprisingly roomy. I cannot say anything negative. The owner has thought of everything! We had a brilliant stay and we will definitely look to book again! Thank you

Lovely cottage, 2nd visit which we enjoyed even more, coming back to a cosy , well cared for home from home.. Love the small touches of fresh flowers, welcome pack , makes such a difference . Great location for day trips . Owners friendly and good communication. Would highly recommend.

Mrs Sampson

February 2019

What a beautiful little cottage.. It felt like a real home from home and was spotless when we arrived. The owners have been very considerate, right down to the fresh flowers and provisions. The log burner was made up, ready to light when we arrived and as it was a freezing day, we lit it - the room felt very cosy !! The owners have also been very thoughtful and made up laminated sheets and folders with suggested scenic drives and walks - we did one of the drives and the directions were impeccable, even directing you to car parks at each village stop en route. We had 2 very nice meals at The Star Inn, a 5 minute walk down the road - Watchet is a small village, with a few shops/pubs and was perfect for our chilling weekend away. I can thoroughly recommend The Bakery and will be telling my friends all about it !!

Mr Read

The Bakery is set up perfectly for a very cosy and comfortable break in Watchet.. The cottage is very comfortable and set up with everything needed and Watchet has plenty of good pubs and eating places along with great walks and the steam railway, a great place for a break.

Mr Thomas

What an amazing property! This cosy cottage has everything you need and the owners have thought about everything too. It's well situated for a relaxing break, very close to major cities and attractions but far enough to feel remote. With the beach just a few minutes walk, and a wood burning stove to return to, it made for an excellent winter retreat. The property is decorated and furnished to a very high standard with comfortable sofas, an excellent king sized bed, superb bathroom, and a well equipped kitchen.

Mr Graves

May 2015

The Bakery was perfect in every way; well decorated, furnished, and equipped, and with the bonus of a bath which is often not available in small two person properties. Also we selected this cottage as it is close to the steam railway which for us gives the chance for a nostalgic train ride. Good walks close by too, and nearby shops, pubs and places to eat.

Mr Palin

April 2015

Cottage, was as good if not better than any we have stayed in over many years, ideal location for moving around this area of Somerset and North Devon, and evening walks. Cottage has everything you require for a holiday and to a much higher standard than the norm.

It had the sun all day long. The house was very clean and comfortable with an enormous bedroom. The kitchen had everything except a washing machine. It was only a couple of minutes walk to the shops and marina.
