Holiday Let Dunster

Whatever the season, Dunster is full of interest and activity, an historical gem that offers a complete holiday experience for visitors of all ages including the dog.

Set between the superb Quantock Hills of Exmoor and the sea, Dunster is a lively village, with a wide range of attractions. Families can enjoy the sea, the steam railway and wildlife spotting on Exmoor. Walkers and hikers come for the matchless countryside that offers pleasant easy ambling or more challenging climbs in all weathers. There’s fishing in the area and, if you’re feeling active, mountain biking and horse riding.

"The Oval is a super place to stay and Dunster is packed full of interest. We did venture into Minehead once but found loads to do in the village and great places to eat. We loved the feeling in the house of being in the middle ages - especially the log fire and the 4 poster but thank goodness for all the mods cons. Even in December there was good walking on Exmoor, a lovely place to chill out after the exertions of London life. We plan to go back in the summer if we can get in! The Watt family, December 2009
