Chimney Cottage is a charming, thatched, self catering holiday cottage which sleeps up to six guests (five adults, plus child, plus cot) in the delightful, historic village of Dunster. This spacious, grade II listed holiday cottage, dates back to the 17th century and is located in a lovely position near the old Mill. The cottage has a south-facing courtyard garden which slopes 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 and now provides a high quality of accommodation which includes three bedrooms (one with an en suite shower room, one with an en suite cloakroom), a family bathroom, sitting room and a large kitchen/dining room.

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 old mill, the recently restored Tythe barn and a wonderful church. It has several pubs, tea rooms and restaurants, plus essential shops.

Minehead is just three miles away and offers full shopping and entertainment facilities. Dunster is about forty five minutes drive from the M5 and Exmoor's many attractions are all within easy reach.

Together Dunster and Chimney Cottage make an excellent holiday choice for many different people. For families with children the owners provide a high chair, cot and stairgate at no charge. There is an excellent children's playground a couple of hundred yards, and the beach is less than two miles away.

Walkers too will not be disapointed as the porch provides convenient storage for boots and jackets and there are several delightful walks which can be started directly from the cottage. For cyclists the porch provides secure storage for a couple of bikes and Exmoor and the Quantocks have many cycle trails and quiet roads to be explored. Dogs are welcome (£10 per dog per week) and too can enjoy the many nearby walks.

Accommodation comprises: 

  • Sitting Room with two, three seater sofas providing comfortable seating for six guests. Entertainment is provided with a 32" flat screen TV with Sky (free channels only) and a DVD player/recorder. A good selection of books, local magazines, DVDs, games and jigsaw puzzles are supplied.  An electric "woodburner" stove provides a cosy focal point on a chilly evening.
  • Five steps lead down into the kitchen which is fully equipped with a large table, six chairs, cutlery/crockery for twelve, washer/dryer, electric fan oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, micro-hifi etc. It also has a large sofa.
  • Porch which provides useful storage for coats and boots and it is large enough to take a couple of bikes.
  • Twin/double bedroom which benefits from zip-linked beds which can be zipped together to make a 6 foot wide double bed. It has an en suite shower room with a mains pressure shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. It is furnished with wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables, clock radio and hairdryer.
  • Bedroom two has a 5 foot wide double bed. It is furnished with wardrobe, dressing table, bedside tables, clock radio.
  • Large bathroom next to bedroom two which has a shower bath (bath with a mains pressure shower at one end), toilet, basin, heater, heated towel rail and shaver light/socket.
  • Bedroom three is downstairs and has a 3 foot wide bed with another 3 foot wide bed stored underneath. This can be pulled out to provide two full-sized single beds at the same height. However, when pulled out it only leaves about 15" between the beds at the head end (about 22" at the foot end, due to the shape of the room). The owners are not happy that this provides adequate space for two adults, so recommend this room for either one adult or two children. This room has an en suite cloakroom, with a toilet, basin, heated towel rail and shaver light/socket. It is furnished with wardrobe, dressing table, bedside table and clock radio.

Outside - There is a south-facing paved area about 21' by 24'. The garden slopes down to the leat that feeds the mill (a leat is a man-made watercourse). A solid wall and gate ensures the safety of children. There is a table and chairs for six, plus a barbeque; also an outside toilet.
