We love Exmoor. It’s a beautiful and often overlooked part of the country. As a guest once wrote in a Visitors’ Book: “We asked ourselves why we had driven past Somerset for years when everything we wanted and more was here.” To one side is the sea and inviting beaches, to another purple heather humming with bees on the moor, plus magical ancient woods...

This is our fourth stay in Dunster but our first at The Oval. It is a beautiful character cottage with everything needed for a more than comfortable stay. Thank you Lucy and Paul, we have thoroughly enjoyed staying here and it was nice to meet you both. I love this place. Many thanks.

What a lovely, lovely house! We’ve had a brilliantly comfortable weekend, thanks to the owner’s thoughtfulness – the whole place is well-equipped and luxurious. And the little gifts on arrival were much appreciated. We’ll definitely be back.

We have all had a wonderful short break in your fantastic home-from-home cottage. The property is well-equipped, with everything you need. The rooms and beds are comfortable, there’s lovely quirky décor and it’s really cosy. The hot tub was great, but during our stay it was definitely the fire that got the most use!! We all hope to be back soon.

This is our first stay at The Oval and we have all really enjoyed it. It has so much character and is a comfortable place to stay. From here we have walked straight out into the deer park where we saw Exmoor ponies (and of course deer!) We loved the deer park, and also the beautiful village and the castle. We did the Halloween tour in the castle – it was brilliantly done and quite scary! We will definitely come again – thank you for our amazing holiday!

What a beautiful cottage, full of character. So well equipped! We love Dunster and the surrounding area. Each time we visit we manage to find something new. The Queens Head in Minehead do a lovely carvery on a Sunday and Wednesday plus lovely Thai food. The Chapel House in Dunster is always a favourite of ours. Well worth a visit – all home cooked food and delicious! Thank you for letting us visit your beautiful cottage, we loved it. We especially loved the fire!

Our stay at The Oval has been wonderful. We have been warm, cosy, comfortable and very relaxed! Despite the occasional torrential rain, we have had some lovely walks and Hector has enjoyed exploring. He says thank you for the treats – yum yum. Dunster is a beautiful village and a good base to explore Exmoor. We thoroughly recommend the Luttrell Arms, very friendly and excellent food. We also had a great welcome from the Foresters Arms, with a lovely meal. Thank you so much, The Oval has been very special.

Everything about The Old Sweet Shop - the kitchen, the bedrooms, the lounge with its log burner, the hot tub, and the quality and attention to detail throughout - more than met our high expectations set by Pilgrim Corner next door... I'm sure that Minehead's Old Sweet Shop will appeal to 'allsorts' - but, hopefully, not 'hundreds and thousands' of them! Ideally, we'd love it to remain our little 'iced gem'.
