Chimney Cottage is a charming, thatched, holiday cottage for up to six (5 adults plus child plus cot) in the delightful, historic village of Dunster. The spacious, grade 2 listed cottage, dating back to the 17th century, is near the old Mill. It has a south-facing courtyard garden sloping down to the stream that feeds the Mill (a stone wall with a solid gate ensures safety for children). It was extensively refurbished over the winter of 2007/8.
The high quality self-catering accommodation includes 3 bedrooms (1 with an en suite shower room, 1 with an en suite cloakroom), a family bathroom, sitting room and a large kitchen/dining room. Facilities include full gas central heating, Sky TV, WiFi broadband internet access, DVD player/recorder, washer/dryer, dishwasher, fridge/freezer. A private off-road parking space is 60 yards, though it's easy to stop right outside to load/unload. No smoking in the house. Bed linen, towels, heating, electricity and internet access are included in the price.
Dunster is a perfect base for exploring Exmoor. It has many attractions, with over 200 listed buildings, the castle dating back to the 11th century, the medieval yarn market, the recently restored Tythe barn, the old mill, and a wonderful church. It has several pubs, tea rooms and restaurants, plus essential shops. Minehead with full shopping and entertainment facilities is less than 3 miles. Dunster is about 45 minutes drive from the M5 and Exmoor's many attractions are all within easy reach.
Together Chimney Cottage and Dunster make an excellent holiday choice for many different people. For families with childen we provide a cot, high chair and stairgate at no charge. The excellent children's playground is a couple of hundred yards, and the beach is less than 2 miles. For walkers, the porch provides convenient storage for boots and jackets. Several delightful walks can be started directly from the cottage. For cyclists the porch provides secure storage for a couple of bikes. Exmoor and the Quantocks have many cycle trails and the roads are relatively quiet even in high season. We welcome dogs (£10 per dog per week) and of course there are many nearby walks.
