Positive: Really wonderful welcome, coming into warm, lit rooms and the radio playing set the tone for our stay. The Easter eggs and biscuits and tea tray were a very generous touch. We felt very relaxed at The Oval on our Easter family holiday. The Oval is such a quirky, wonderful place to stay, everything thought of, and the little touches made our stay perfect. It’s in such a great location, close to the shops, pubs, eateries and castle. We spent a lovely afternoon walking around Dunster Castle and gardens, it is definitely worth a visit. We enjoyed the local walks. The Stag’s Head pub and Luttrell Arms are both welcoming and have great beer gardens. We have a thoroughly chilled, relaxed time in the cottage, cooking and playing games. Nothing is too much trouble for Lucy and she was always happy to help answer questions or sort things out for us. Thanks so much for a brilliant stay.
Summary: A quirky, charming, full of character and spotless.

Positive: We loved everything about the property. It’s full of charm. Wonky doorways, Wonky floors, Wonky ceilings… but in the best way. A few banged heads but no complaints from us! We had an issue with TV remote on day one and someone turned up with a new remote the next day. Responsive hosts. Lovely little details throughout. Lots to do - books, boxes and boxes of games, TV had Netflix and Disney. Parking is very close down the road. No issues day to day but we did have a few trips to unload the car so just bear in mind if bringing lots of stuff. On our departure we were lucky to find a space directly out the front to load. Dunster is such a lovely unspoilt village. The lutterell arms did fabulous food. We ate there twice. We also had lunch at Tessa’s tea shop. All pubs, most cafes and most shops were dog friendly. Castle was closed for our trip but we walked around the ground and up to the tower on the opposite hill. Lovely walks a short drive to the forestry - tall trees at nutcombe bottom is impressive and easily extended into a big walk. We walked up to bats castle settlement with great views back down to Dunster and also did a few coastal walks down to Dunster from the oval (a nice loop in just under an hour), also parked up next to the old ship aground in minehead and walked up and around north hill and back to the pub for a nice dinner and then another walk further down the coast another day. Our dog loved it. We loved it. I would stay again in a heartbeat.
Summary: The perfect base to explore Dunster

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The cottage had everything we needed and more. I was very keen to use all the eco toiletries and they have been perfect. The four poster bed is beautiful and a joy to sleep in. Having such a well-stocked kitchen meant we could easily cook for four days and eat out for the rest. The off road parking spot was a double plus
Summary: Pretty , comfortable , medieval cottage with mod cons . A brilliant base to explore the local area

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The house definitely had the wow factor, full of history, quirky and yet had all mod cons. It was very clean, comfortable and within a short walking distance of amenities and places of interest. Everything had been thought of to make sure that guests enjoyed their stay. The hosts provided milk, sugar, coffee, teabags and lovely chocolate biscuits, kitchen essentials, toiletries and loo rolls in both bathrooms. Plenty of information on the area was also provided. Lucy and the team were always available if needed.
Negative: Nothing to dislike
Summary: We would recommend The Oval without hesitation
