Finest Retreats - The Watchtower at Western Watch

Loved everything about the quirky accommodation, clean, tidy, and the breathtaking views were fantastic even when it wasn't so nice weather. A relaxing place is just what we needed. Great for walks and visiting other areas of Cornwall. Friendly local people. We will be visiting again.

There is nothing to dislike.

Quirky, warm, unusual property. Easy access and parking. Great for coast path walking and local shop for necessities. Fantastic views from tower room.

Knocking our heads on doorway into watch room!

Lovely quirky place. Had everything I needed for a tranquil few days in half term with my dog, my books and my paints. So many lovely places a short distance away so very pleased to be able to walk, photograph lots of beaches then come back to a warm cosy house. The house is well-equipped although I found the lack of tv made it very quiet. I overcame this by using the radio app on my phone. Bed was super comfy!!

The shower didn’t work when I arrived so I had to go without until day 2. It would have been handy if the switch had been mentioned in the welcome book. When it went on there was really not much power just a small trickle or water and not very warm. It was manageable though.

No flexibility on an early check in. We arrived earlier than planned as we didn't know what traffic would be like. We arrived and the cleaner was busy sorting everything out as we expected. Cleaner said the property would be ready in an hour so we went for a walk and left her to it. Arrive an hour later. Cleaner gone. Property locked. We walked up the drive, ready to sleep as we were both exhausted. The owner stopped us and refused us entry. She made us sit on the drive to wait until 4pm, despite a long journey, the heat (heatwave week) and the property being ready and locked. A little while later, we knocked on to ask for some water and no reply. Not the most welcoming start. The property doesn't feel very private being so close to the owners' house. It isn't sectioned off in away to afford you privacy. The bedroom is not ideal as you can only stand up in the middle. We had a great week but I wouldn't book again sadly.
