About this property
1 Marsh Gardens is a beautifully presented Coach House located in Dunster, between the village and the beach. It is described as one of England's most beautiful and fascinating medieval villages. Perfect for the beaches, the North Somerset Coastal Path and exploring beautiful Exmoor. You have your own reserved, off-road parking at the rear of the house and the use of the garage to securely store bikes, paddle boards etc. Leave your coat and shoes in the hallway and make your way up the stairs to the bright and airy open plan living area and wonderful views. A great place to dine, cook and relax; unwind on the two sofas as the Smart TV plays your favourite shows. The kitchen has an electric oven, gas hob, microwave, undercounter fridge and freezer, dishwasher, and coffee machine. At the end of the day, you can retreat to the two good sized bedrooms consisting of a double with an en-suite shower room and twin room with family bathroom. Both rooms are both as delightful as the next, boasting contemporary furniture and luxurious Egyptian cotton linen. There is no garden at the property, but who needs one with a great beach less than 1 mile away, perfect for those evening barbecues and watching the great sunsets. The village centre is a short stroll away, offering you a great selection of independent shops, deli, tea rooms, pubs, restaurants and a host of historic buildings and church. Standing above the village is the fascinating National Trust Dunster Castle and Watermill. Jump in the car to visit the coastal town of Minehead which has a variety of offerings, from 3 supermarkets, a mile-long esplanade, golden beach, Harbour, Southwest Coastal Path, Butlins, Golf Course, sea front traditional activities, and the Southwest Steam Railway. The Coach House at 1 Marsh Gardens is a great base from which to explore the coast or the Exmoor National Park.
Dunster is a popular tourist destination close to the North Somerset shore and is a mostly untouched location: the town's historic core still has a lot of old buildings that cling to the narrow cobblestone streets. The gorgeous Yarn Market, a covered area constructed in 1609 specifically to house the wool traders and other fabric merchants, is the main point of the High Street despite the fact that the castle on its hill dominates the entire village. Fine plasterwork ceilings may be found inside Dunster Castle, and the expansive terraced gardens, which also house many rare shrubs and trees, provide stunning views of the sea and the Quantock Mountains.

Ideally situated to explore the area. Dunster village and the beach are within walking distance. Would highly recommend.

V quiet location and easy walk to Dunster village (about 15/20 mins). Tesco superstore only 3 mins drive (we timed it!). Although open plan, sitting area is âhiddenâ from kitchen area by dividing wall - good layout design! Would not hesitate to rebook!

It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It was in an excellent location for the beach, the village and to explore the area. Would definitely recommend to friends and family and would book again in the future. The cake and milk was a pleasant surprise.
