Chalet 16

Chalet 16 has an excellent position with uninterrupted views of the sea and a sandy beach only a short distance away. The ‘Hawn’ lake is also very close on the other side.

It is double glazed and was refurbished inside in 2018 to provide a fresh and comfortable interior that still retains the feel of a traditional chalet.

On the beach and close to Exmoor, the chalet provides an excellent holiday base for those interested in walking, cycling and bird watching. This is a family chalet and you are welcome to make use of our books, maps and games during your stay.

It is available from 3.00pm on the day of arrival and must be vacated by 11.00am on the day of departure. Guests are expected to leave the chalet clean and tidy and in a similar condition to the way it was found at the start of the holiday.

Inside:

• Double sofa bed and curtained off bedroom with bunk beds.
• Chest of drawers and wardrobe with hangers.
• Electric convector heater. Flat screen TV.
• Kitchen equipped with kettle, toaster, microwave, cooker, fridge with small freezer and electric water heater. The cooker has four rings, a grill and oven.

Outside:

• Parking space to the right of the chalet and more parking space on the grass nearby.

• Site facilities include: a shop and café, tennis court, putting green, communal BBQ area and a laundry room.
• Please note that during March – May the sea view from the rear of the chalet is partially obscured by a low sand screen. This is usually removed towards the end of May.

On-Site

You don’t need to venture far to find our on-site amenities, all manned by Dunster Beach Chalet staff to help you as needed and give advice and recommendations. A launderette and a shop are open daily, as well as the Kingfisher Café serving a variety of light bites and fuller meals for those times when you don’t feel like cooking.

Free Wi-Fi can be enjoyed in the café, and the putting green is available for those who’d like to get competitive.

Dunster Village

Should you choose to venture a little further afield, you’ll find the village of Dunster right on your doorstep. A far cry from some of the nearby resorts, Dunster is a locale rich in history dating all the way back to the Iron Ages; and with a population of just over 800, you can be sure of a friendly chat with the locals whenever you nip by.

Overlooked by the impressive Dunster Castle, the village is perfect for leisurely strolls and offers a variety of shops, pubs and cafes for visitors to enjoy. If you’re visiting in May you can see the historic custom of the Minehead Hobby Horse visiting the village and being received at the castle; or if in August, see the Dunster Show and explore the produce of local businesses and producers showcasing their best wares.

Nearby, visitors can explore the various nature trails (one of three Exmoor National Park Visitors Centres can be found in the centre of Dunster) through the stunning moorland and woodland of the area afoot or opt for the West Somerset Railway for a faster tour. This 20-mile heritage railway course spans the Bristol Channel Coast and is recommended for its unrivalled views and historic richness.

Dunster Beach Chalets offer a unique insight into this beautiful corner of the world, balancing the solitude of the coast, countryside and National Park with all of the modern amenities and activities that can keep you busy when needed.
