The Experience

Check the plywood walls – there’s a message in there to decipher. A comfortable double bed is up on the mezzanine floor, from which a cargo net spreads over the living space. The kitchen has a two-ring hob, microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster so its perfectly possible to make scratch meals, but the restaurant is open all day for breakfasts, lunches, afternoon tea with home-baked cakes and delicious locally-sourced suppers.

You share a terrace with another pod – views are sublime across the harbourside and all the way to the Bristol Channel for magnificent sunsets. Visit the galleries, discover the history and the architecture behind East Quay and the town itself, find the memorial on the quayside to Coleridge who wrote The Ancient Mariner here.

Walks and cycles are endless – Exmoor National Park, Quantock Hills, the South West Coast Path, or visit Porlock for a pebble beach, Dunster for a castle and hop on a steam train home.

This place is one of our Sawday’s Community Champions – not-for-profit organisations receiving subsidised Sawday’s membership as recognition for their support of causes and communities.

Visit and let your creativity and imagination run wild. The pods are as inspiring as the artists who work around them.

Location

The neighbourhood

The West Somerset steam and diesel railway line runs behind the harbour in Watchet. Sam's Deli is a 2-minute walk, Pebbles Tavern, a gin bar with live music also 2 minutes. Visit family-run Torre Cider Farm for great pizzas (a 10-minute drive) or head for the beach - Minehead is a typical bucket and spade one and there are wilder ones all along the north coast. Exmoor Zoo is close.

Local points of interest from Rebecca Tomkinson

  • Watchet is a lively coastal town full of history, beautiful quirky buildings, and stunning scenery. From markets and music festivals to steam trains, carnivals, and fireworks, Watchet is brimming with exciting events all year round!
  • East Quay is an arts centre of galleries, local artists' studios, an ethical shop, and cafe/restaurant. We frequently host a variety of events and workshops, so please make sure to check the 'What's On' page of our website!
  • East Quay is only a ten-minute walk from two different beaches, one of which is perfect for rock pooling and fossil hunting. (Visitors often unearth some of the earliest fossil ammonites recorded in Britain!)
