    “The cottage was clean and well located.”

    It really could do with some TLC, one mattress needs changing, the cold water taps in bathroom need sorting,, the lids for the pots need handles (missing), ironing board cover missing, electric hob didnt seem to get hot enough. No clothes airer and washing line was rubbish. There was no welcome booklet, for local amenities and when to put bins out. Front door lock needs changing. These may seem minor points but collectively, they really make a difference! Also nowelcome pack of milk ,teabags ...

No clothes airer and washing line was rubbish. There was no welcome booklet, for local amenities and when to put bins out. Front door lock needs changing. These may seem minor points but collectively, they really make a difference! Also nowelcome pack of milk ,teabags etc, there was absolutrly nothing, not even cleaning spray. A few hundred pound would correct all this but it seems the owner could care less.

The property

This former police station is a Grade II listed building, and a wonderful holiday base to return to after exploring all that the village of Dunster has to offer.

The exterior sets a feel for the cottage before you enter, and the charming archway welcomes you inside.

A sitting room is home to comfortable sofas where you can relax and socialise with your loved ones, reminiscing over your day trips and planning those adventures to come.

Gather with your friends and family at the dining table which can seat up to six people, for an evening meal after the sun goes down.

The well-equipped kitchen offers a spacious set up, designed with contemporary features including black granite counter tops and white units.

The ground floor is also home to a king-size bedroom, with deep purple bedding and a traditional dressing table as well as a feature fireplace.

For a different style, the first floor offers a four poster bed, with more of those charming furnishings, neighboured by a lovely single room that provides a pull-out bed.

You will never be short of places to get ready in the morning, with both a shower room and bathroom to match your preferences.

Relax in the garden during your downtime, with its enclosed decked area and flowers bordering the outside.

Enjoy a warm drink as you take in the views that lie in the distance.

The cottage is of historical and architectural interest and only a few minutes stroll from Dunster Castle, and well placed for Watchet and Minehead.

With traditional inns, individual shops and interesting places to explore, this property is an excellent choice for a well-rounded holiday.

About the location

DUNSTER

Minehead 3 miles.

Dunster is a popular tourist village near the North Somerset coast and is a largely unspoiled spot: the centre of the town retains many old buildings which hug the winding cobbled streets. The whole village is dominated by the castle on its hill but the focal point of the High Street is the picturesque Yarn Market, a covered area built in 1609 particularly to accommodate the wool traders and other cloth merchants. Inside Dunster castle there are fine plasterwork ceilings and the extensive terraced and landscaped gardens contain many rare shrubs and trees, and offer marvelous views out to sea, and towards the Quantocks. For those who enjoy exploring the countryside, Dunster is within the Exmoor National Park and there are plenty of footpaths leading onto the surrounding hills of Grabbist and walks into Dunster’s Deer Park at the foot of the castle. Dunster is well served with traditional inns, individual shops and interesting places to explore including the working 18th century watermill. West Somerset’s premier resort of Minehead is less than three miles away and has golden sandy beaches, seaside attractions for the visitor, and plenty of cafes, shops and bistros.
