Nestled in the historic village of Dunster, within the Exmoor National Park, is this Grade II listed character property, Vine Cottage. A welcoming and homely feel greets as you enter, with a sitting room on the left of the hallway; ideal for unwinding into the evening after a day of rambles, with two
comfortable sofas arranged in front of a wood burner, along with a TV for entertainment. Carry the conversation into the kitchen and adjoining dining room where you can keep the chef of the group company whilst they learn their way around the appliances, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and even a dishwasher, ensuring hassle-free washing up! Head upstairs to the bedrooms, both of which enjoy views over Dunster Church and Castle and house double beds, making this an ideal choice for a couple, or a small family. The main bedroom has a separate dressing room. Begin each morning with a brisk shower or bath before making your way to the front lawn for a moment in the sunshine. The village of Dunster is filled with charm as well as offering plenty of quirky gift shops and small grocery stores for picking up any essentials. Learn about the history of the area through the old buildings, including the iconic Yarn Market, the remains of a Benedictine priory, a working watermill and Iron Age settlements. If you fancy a night off cooking, choose from a selection of restaurants, pubs and tearooms. The area is a haven for walkers due to the wooded hillsides and picturesque hills of Exmoor, providing glorious walks through open moorland, woodland and along the coast. Head into Minehead, just over two miles away, where you can lounge on the golden beach, stroll along the mile-long promenade and enjoy fish and chips whilst watching the boats reel into the harbour. Alternatively, climb aboard the South West Steam Railway and journey to the nearby port of Watchet for a delightful day trip, or travel a short distance to explore the beautiful Horner Woods National Nature Reserve or the sweeping expanse of Porlock Bay. Vine Cottage is a delightful cottage and a wonderful base from which to explore the Exmoor National Park and beyond.
The village of Dunster is dominated by the castle on its hill but the focal point of the High Street is the picturesque Yarn Market. For those who enjoy exploring the countryside, Dunster is located within the Exmoor National Park, offering a network of footpaths leading onto the surrounding hills.
