Description of the self catering

The Oval in Dunster is a historically fascinating, quirky holiday cottage located in one of one of the West Country's prettiest large villages, among exceptional countryside on the outskirts of Exmoor National Park. The property was originally an open ‘hall house’ dating from the 1400s, making it one of the very oldest buildings in Dunster. Now beautifully upgraded to a self catering apartment for up to 6 guests with modern conveniences and tasteful furnishings and decorations, The Oval retains all the charm and sense of heritage that one would hope for in this famously picturesque medieval village.
