Chalet 86

The kitchen is equipped with electric cooker, induction hob, full sized fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, toaster, microwave and all cooking equipment and dining requirements for 4 people.

There is a twin bedroom with two single beds, a chest of drawers and hooks for hanging clothes (some storage under the beds). The sofa in the living area turns into either two single beds or one king-size bed.

The bathroom has a shower, toilet and washbasin. In addition, there is a Freeview TV with DVD player (selection of DVDs supplied) as well as local guide books, maps and games. A porthole has been installed over the double doors facing the sea so that you can open it in the night and allow the sound of waves to lull you to sleep!

Outside, there is a fenced garden at the front but there is no fencing at the back, giving an unbroken view of the beach. There is a table, four chairs and a sun parasol. The storage box contains some more folding chairs, a beach sun umbrella and a few beach games etc.

Chalet 86 is situated half way along Dunster Beach facing the sea. It is just beyond the shop and office and almost opposite a path into the nature reserve, there is a lovely view out to sea with trees framing the view to the beach and Quantock Hills.

The chalet was completely refurbished in 2014 to a high standard and in a 1960s Scandinavian style with a hint of railway nostalgia.

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.
