Dunster Holiday Cottage – The Oval
Sleeping six, The Oval is one of Dunster’s finest historic cottages. While it retains its 14th-century charm – cruck beams, a wooden screen and a ‘squint’ window – it offers all the modern comforts: Wi-Fi, a large, well-equipped kitchen, a utility room, quality furnishings, sumptuous bedding, and soft towels for an indulgent stay.
Guests are always amazed by how spacious The Oval feels. Downstairs, there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax: a large living room with a cosy wood-burning stove, a snug packed with books, games and toys, a dining room for shared meals, plus a well-equipped kitchen and handy utility room.
Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms make The Oval perfect for families or groups of friends:
- A romantic double en-suite with an impressive four-poster bed
- A stylish second double en-suite
- A bright and welcoming twin room
The main bedroom’s en-suite is a clever ‘Jack and Jill’ design, with doors to both the bedroom and the hallway. This means guests in the twin room have easy access too – so everyone enjoys the comfort of a bathroom close at hand.
Located in the heart of the village, The Oval is moments from the village’s fantastic pubs, tearooms, restaurants and independent shops. It makes a perfect base for exploring Exmoor National Park and the nearby coast. Rated Four Star Gold by VisitEngland.
