Our grade II listed cottage has been sympathetically refurbished to provide the conveniences of modern-day living whilst retaining the charm of period features: Wood-burner, inglenook fireplace, stone floors, and wooden beams as well as the WiFi and flat screen HD TV. The ground floor also has a living room (with double sofa-bed), study/office/reading room, dining room, and separate kitchen, shower room plus sun-room. The 1st-floor has 3 bedrooms plus an en-suite bathroom. 'Thatches' meets the needs of groups of friends as well as families with or without children and the office space and WIFI make it perfect for anyone needing to work while away. ‘Thatches’ has direct access to its fully enclosed private garden and off-street parking area and is a short stroll away from Williton's shops, pubs, and restaurants. Further amenities are just 2 miles away at the historical coastal town Watchet with its marina and fossil beaches. Sandy beaches can be found at Kilve (5 miles), Blue Anchor (5 miles), Minehead (15 miles) and beyond. This is an ideal year-round holiday or short break destination and a superb base from which to explore West Somerset’s many places of interest. We have wonderful countryside on our doorstep, a beautiful coastline nearby and numerous fascinating historic buildings, museums, and other tourist attractions in the area. Do come and enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Liz Whimperley-Dixon
We would like to introduce ourselves: Bob and Liz Whimperley-Dixon. We currently live in London with our young children and two dogs. We have family nearby and had finally found the perfect holiday home in 'Thatches' after looking in the area for about 3 years... nothing ticked every box for us until this became available!
Why they chose this property
There is so much to see and do in the area - really something for everyone for all seasons.
We're a short stroll from great amenities, yet moments from wonderful countryside and a short drive from fantastic coastline.
What makes this property unique
Thatches has direct access to its own secluded garden and off street parking.
We provide generous living space for a thatched cottage - as well as the main living room with a sofa bed, a downstairs snug/office space, a dining room and a sun room, so even when all bedrooms are occupied guests won't feel on top of each other.
Our kitchen is well equipped with quality appliances and useful cooking utensils - a real home from home..and if we don't yet have something we probably will soon - just ask!
