Lovely little cottage sympathetically restored in a good location for exmoor and the coast. The house is spotless and the garden is a real gem. Lynn and Brendan communicated really well and made lots of effort to make our stay easier. Really appreciated the steps they'd taken to accommodate our 15 month old.

Lynn made us a warm welcome when we first arrived at the cottage, she had lit a fire, introduced us to the accommodation and left us a welcome basket of goodies for breakfast. The petite cottage itself offered us clean and modern living, with easy access to several regional landmarks and places. As a family of four we greatly enjoyed our relaxing stay at the cottage and would highly recommend a stay with Lynn at Sideways.

Lynn and Brendan had been in contact early and welcomed us on arrival. They made the house feel very welcome for us and left very thoughtful items of food. They also listed things to do in the local area and for day trips. We had a great trip exploring and enjoying Exmoor.

Lynn & Brendan were great hosts who welcomed us warmly and gave us a tour of the cottage, making sure we were happy with everything before they left. The cottage itself is clean & fresh with lovely coastal touches & the breakfast hamper was very handy. The location is ideal for exploring Dunster & Porlock which were both beautiful. A perfect location for a relaxing weekend away. Would thoroughly recommend. Many thanks

Lynn and Brendan could not of been more welcoming and we had a wonderful stay at Sideways Cottage. It was perfect in every way and in a great location to explore the beautiful Somerset countryside and beaches. Thank you again Lynn and Brendan and we so hope we can stay with you again soon.

This was our first experience with airbnb. We find a lovely little cottage, good equipped and with a nice garden. Our daugther was very pleased because she had a nice little separte room. We were able to do some trips in the near surrondings. Brendan has given us some good tips and there are enough flyers in the cottage what can be done. An additional bonus point was the available breakfast basket.

The quaint cottage was clean the owners made us most welcome in person showed us around made a big effort, also gave us a nice welcome pack of essentials for our stay. A secluded garden at the rear & a shed to secure our bikes. The road is quite busy out the front you do have to take care. The property has been well maintained and is very homely.

Couldn't ask for better hosts than Lynn and Brendon. From the very beginning they were so helpful. You couldn't ask for any more. The apartment is spotless, it's lovely and quant and had everything we needed for our two night stay. The cottage itself was in a great position for us as we love walking and could walk to the beach and also close to the local pub Thank you for having us as your guests and would recommend your property to anyone looking to stay in the area Thanks again :)

We had a fantastic visit. Everything was clean and set up for a very comfortable stay including everything you need in the kitchen, reliable wifi and local information. There's a beautiful view of the beach from the bed and you can see Dunster Castle from the front. Matthew was very helpful. Would love to have stayed longer.

A beautifully located well equipped chalet. A perfect weekend retreat.

Beautiful cottage, in a lovely location. Everything you need is on your doorstep. Would definatley recommend it.

We had a fantastic couple of days enjoying the spring sunshine in Dunster at Floral Cottage. It’s been refurbished to a high standard with lots of lovely features and a very thoughtful welcome pack. It’s in a perfect location for the castle, village centre and pubs/restaurants. The beach is a 30 minute walk away and great for long dog walks, plus there are lots of other places to visit nearby. Definitely one to revisit and Janet was a great host.

Lovely cottage full of charm and character. Fabulous location in Dunster. Within walking distance of the castle, cafes and pubs. We had a lovely time.

We had a lovely time at the Happy Chalet. It was perfect for our family get away. The kids loved the garden, watching the bunnies, pheasants and the steam train. It was calm and private and we loved the simplicity. There are lots of places to go and visit to keep everyone entertained. Our favourite was Dunster. Kimberly gave very detailed notes on every aspect which we found hugely useful. And she was answered all my questions very quickly.

I was looking for a quiet and comfortable place in the English countryside and close to the sea to make a good break from London craziness, and that's exactly what I got at Kim's chalet. Kim has been extremely helpful, being very available, prompt to answer messages and going out of her way to give me details and tips for my visits, and prepared the chalet so I felt comfortable the minute I got in. In short, she's the kind of AirBnB host you want to have to deal with! The chalet, though simply organized, is well equipped, comfortable and well heated (I stayed there in winter). No TV and no Internet but I thought that was a good thing in order to experience a proper break, as I could dedicate more time to reading, for example. The surroundings are nice, between typical English countryside and coastline. There are some nice walks to do around the chalet with marked trails. Access to the chalet is fairly easy by feet and public transport, but it's more convenient to have a personal vehicle to wander around and get some food, and also to push further to visit the Exmoor National Park. There are a couple of restaurants nearby (The White Horse near Cleeve Abbey and The Driftwood Cafe at Blue Anchor are worth a visit!) and if you miss the city life, you can head to Minehead, a town with restaurants, shops, supermarkets and tourist attractions. You can get there by bus or even better, by steam train (the West Somerset Railway) that you hear and see pass at a distance from the chalet, which I absolutely loved! A charming and relaxing place to visit for a nice countryside break, away from the city. Definitely recommended!

My experience at Kim's Chalet was fantatastic. She had arranged the heating to be put on before I arrived so it was lovely and warm when I walked in, so nice after a long cold drive!. A bottle of wine had been left in the fridge which was a thoughful touch. The location is perfect for getting away from the hustle an bustle of daily life. The chalet is thoughfully furnished and the bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend staying at Kims if you're in the area.

Great cozy little cottage in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Here was everything we needed - toys for the kids, good beds and lovely terrace with views. We particularly enjoyed the enclosed garden where children could play. Kimberley had made a very good overview of places to visit, see and eat in the area, which we used extensively. The communication was top notch - also continuously during the stay. We are very happy again!

The chalet was a lovely location for our weekend trip, with a lovely little garden and a great view over the countryside to Exmoor. It was simple, clean and functional, and had everything we needed for a family weekend away. Kimberley was very helpful and communicative, providing an excellent guide full of useful information and there were even some toys for our little one to play with.

We had a great time staying at this chalet. It was comfortable and warm and Kim had provided a very helpful guide to the local attractions. The chalet is on a very peaceful road - the only noise was from the birds singing in the mornings! We found a lot to do in the local area, with beaches, Dunster Castle and Cleeve Abbey all only a few minutes away by car.

Accurate description, really nice area, clean tidy place, ideal for our needs. We stayed two nights and walking along coast and inland. Kimberly was very quick to communicate and had prepared a very comprehensive pack. Thank you!

My husband and our son (16 months) loved our short stay at the chalet. All the information we needed for the chalet and the surrounding area was in our welcome pack. Kimberley was very helpful and a kind host. She was easy to get hold of in the days prior to our stay. The chalet was decorated tastefully and was clean. Everything we needed to look after a toddler who loved getting messy at the beach, was there. We loved listening for Somerset train passing by and watching the rabbits jump in the field. The views were delightful. The location was perfect for exploring exmoor and the nearby beaches. We had walks in the countryside picking blackberries enroute to the beach 15min walk away. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We're just back from a lovely weekend spent at Chalet 46. It's a perfect little getaway. Right on the beach and the place is a home from home, they've thought of everything. Our dog absolutely loved it too! Thank you!

We have stayed in a number of Chalets at Dunster beach and this one was very well equipped, including a small shower room/toilet. The site is very well maintained with direct access to a very quiet section of beach and a shop/cafe on site. The chalet is small but you are staying somewhere very unique. Sarah was very helpful and the whole process was easy from start to finish. We would be happy to stay here again.

Sarah was very helpful and did everything to make us feel welcome. Including putting the heating on before hand so the chalet was warm and snug when we arrived. The chalet itself was clean and tidy with everything we needed on hand. Dunster village is a lovely place, and the Dunster by candlelight event (URL HIDDEN) was wonderful. We would definitely recommend it.

Lovely little chalet in a great location. The accommodation was very clean and Sarah provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. We had two dogs with us who loved the large dog friendly beach right on the doorstep. I would definitely recommend the chalet to anyone wanting to explore this area.

Fantastic stay at this cute little abode. From booking to departure, Sarah could not have been more helpful (Thank you Sarah). The chalet was impeccably clean and so well equipped - veritable home from home! Very quiet area with stunning scenery - the perfect retreat! Can't wait to go back!

Great place in a lovely location a stones throw away from the beach. The chalet had everything you could want. Will be staying there again.

Lovely base for visiting a lovely area

We had a fantastic experience at Salad days this summer. The chalet itself has been renovated with genius precision and clear thought for the occupant is evident with each finishing touch. We shall definitely be returning! Thank you for an unforgettable return to Dunster Beach.

Salad days is a beautiful, well equipped place exactly as described and with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bed is to die for and so very comfy that you don't want to get up. A short stroll to the beach and if you're into walking like we are, an absolute dream with amazing walks in every direction. The thing that really stood out for us was the attention to detail with nothing forgotten making our stay just what we needed. From the welcome pack on arrival including local cider and the most delicious eggs, to the maps and toiletries making our stay very special indeed. We will be back!!!

The host canceled this reservation 37 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Excellent

Archer House is a beautiful property in the picturesque village of Dunster on the edge of Exmoor. It is a perfect location for the exploring the area. Our host, Mary, was fantastic. Upon arrival, she made sure to show us round and made sure we had everything we needed. Having lived in the area for a while she can help with recommendations on things to do, see and places to eat, although she made a magnificent cooked breakfast so you might only need a light lunch. I thoroughly recommend staying here if you are looking to visit this beautiful area of Exmoor.

I can recommend anyone who is visiting Dunster/Exmoor to stay with Mary and Dave. They own a beautiful house and a lovely piece of land and are very happy to share these with visitors. I stayed at the Archer House for a month. I felt welcome right from the start and really didn't want to leave in the end. Mary made sure I had fresh flowers from her garden in my room and Dave thought me all about beekeeping. I had a great time and am very glad I crossed paths with these lovely people!

We stayed for a couple of nights with Mary & David. They were the perfect hosts and the house is beautiful, filled with lots of interesting ornaments, books, pictures and special touches. When we arrived we were offered tea in the beautiful garden and felt at home straight away. The garden is lovely with its variety of animals including peacocks, donkeys, rabbits, geese, bee hives, cats, chickens, etc. We were treated like royalty and nothing was too much trouble. The location is ideal for strolling into Dunster and driving around Somerset. We would highly recommend a stay at Archer House.

We were well and truly looked after by David and Mary throughout our whole stay. The room was really comfortable, calming and beautifully decorated, as is the rest of the house. We were certainly well fed with the best English Breakfasts we’ve had in a very long time! Mary and David are warm and delightful hosts making our weekend a very special one indeed. Big thanks to the both of you!

We had an increadible time staying at Archer House. The house itself is beautiful, and the grounds surrounding it are so well kept and lovely to walk around. Breakfast is included and is tailored around what you want - both mornings we had fantastic feasts and got the pleasure of their comapny. I would highly reccomend staying here, it is so well located for Dunster and the surrounding areas, and you couldn't be with better hosts! Also - when you do stay, make sure to buy a pot of honey off them - it is quite possibly some of the best I've had.

It felt like we were staying with old friends and we would happily have stayed longer. We like the house very much, were very comfortable and felt very much at home. It is in a great location for visiting Dunster Castle and only a few minutes to the local pubs in the evening. We enjoyed delicious breakfasts and some lively chatter. We would certainly recommend Mary and Dave's hospitality.

Mary and Dave are really friendly and helpful hosts. The cup of tea and biscuits on arrival was really welcome after a long journey, not to mention the box of chocolate shamrocks in the room from their recent trip to Ireland! The view of the outside of the house on the website is not visible from the road, but just look for the driveway opposite the village car park with "Honey for Sale" signs outside. The house is situated close to the centre of Dunster, a medieval English village with a castle and several pubs, cafes and interesting local shops. Beautiful country walks start right from the door.

Had wonderful time! Archer house is perfect Georgian house with very impressive garden and surroundings. Every corner of this house is loved and cared after co you feel like home . Cozy bedroom with spacious bathroom. Best of all was breakfast made from local and fresh products. Dunster town is charming with good restaurants and cafes, where food is fresh and honest. Location is prefect for local ( long or short walks). We couldn't think of better stay.

V welcome, extremely good communications, pleasurable in extreme we all thought

The Vintage Beach Hut is totally charming! It's position is lovely and we so enjoyed staying. The beach is fab, the steam train passing by several times a day was very exciting for the kids, the ducks visited every morning and the site shop was very good. Shower block is just across the way and was very clean and lovely to use. The hut is a no frills charm kind of place, this isn't luxury accommodation but exactly what a beach hut owned by your granny should be like! We loved it but agreed that fussy people wanting new, modern and spotless might be disappointed. Sheets and towels were all supplied and clean. Helen made booking very easy and Mary-Lou (Helen's charming Granny) came to say hello and had left us milk, eggs, biscuits and welcomed us to use whatever else we could find. She was lovely and we so enjoyed meeting her. We would certainly return. Thank you Helen.

Just what the doctor ordered. This is a lovely chalet, well thought out and wow what a view! Helen and her Grandmother were both very helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great family value. Our 2nd stay in 8 months

The beach chalet was absolutely beautiful and very homely. The location was fantastic as its literally on the beach. We brought our dog with us and it was very clear that on the holiday park dogs were welcome as well as on the beach. Both Helen and her Granny were very helpful in organising the stay. I would definitely come here again!

Great place for a mini break a stones throw from the beech. We arrived later in the evening but no problem to get into the charming beech hut. Will definitely recommend a stay here. We took our 9 month Labrador with. Very dog friendly area and lots of other dogs around. Met the owner Mary-Lou charming lady!

Harvey was a fabulous and very attentive host. Super quick to respond and contactable throughout our entire stay which was incredibly handy for any questions that cropped up during the weekend. The venue is simply brilliant. What's not to like about having your very own private pub for the holiday? It was brilliant fun. Open log fire (with a guard in case you have small children) in the pub which set for a cosy country pub feel for the whole weekend. There's an enormous dining room which is perfect for entertaining. Could easily cater for over 20. We were a family of 14 and put all the tables together in an oblong shape and it was perfect for our dinner party - the room also equipped with a lovely (gas) fire. Living room is spacious and comes with a TV & games for anyone wanting to relax. The catering kitchen was brilliant! Equipped with everything you need to feed a large crowd. From the pots, pans, utensils, serving dishes to plates, and all the silverware. We certainly didn't want for anything. The rooms are spread over 2 floors in the main house and also cottages outside (some accessible under cover and some not). But all beautiful and provide a good mix for those who want to stay up late in the pub making noise, and those who retreat to bed a bit earlier. Gorgeous piano in the main entrance hall (just needs a tune) and the entrance hall is really spectacular. There is also a gorgeous outdoor courtyard which in summer would be brilliant for outdoor entertaining / eating. The whole place feels incredibly private - which is exactly what we wanted. Can't thank Harvey enough for this beautiful place. We ventured to the nearby Castle, old railway and Portlock (try Portlock Cafe - the food was sensational) and the drives are simply breathtaking. Despite the long drive by my party, it was certainly worth every minute. If you have a big group and yuh want something fun - this place is just the thing. We'll certainly be staying again. Tiffany
