Summary: Probably the most comprehensively equipped holiday Lett we have ever stayed in, even down to a "Fish Poacher" The location is stunning but beware if you have a large vehicle parking is extremely tight. Watchtower is spacious & would easily sleep 6/7, equipped with two separate bathrooms with showers & the on-suite with a bath. The shower head in the on-suite most defiantly requires replacing it's black with a mould like covering. Watchtower forms part of a block of fisherman's cottages reputedly built in the early 1800's & you should bear this is mind if you intend to stay here its not a modern building. It is only fair to mention that we felt the property is in need of a good spring clean, cobwebs could be found in most rooms & the furniture has most definitely seen better days i.e.; bedside tables draws are very difficult to shut, both of the side boards are well past the there usable life, some of the internal doors are almost to impossible to shut. However, the Watchtower is extremely comfortable & there are numerous heaters if it gets cold. The property has both a washing machine, tumble dryer & an ironing board. We did contact the housekeeper on the Wednesday of our stay to ask about the iron which she advised had broken the previous week, she asked us to leave the key the next day & she would replace it, for whatever reason the never happened. There is no longer a shop in Downderry so be advised the nearest Supermarket is either Liskard or Plymouth.
