Chalet 111

halet 111, named ‘Wickets,’ is beautifully situated on the border of Exmoor National Park, just outside the medieval village of Dunster, offering the perfect coastal retreat. Dunster Beach, where beach huts have stood for over 100 years, is a place where amusement arcades are banned, and buckets and spades are encouraged. It is a tranquil spot where time seems to stand still, yet one you will always remember. This comfortable and cosy family chalet is ideal for a stay at any time of the year.

The chalet sleeps up to four people and features a twin bedroom, providing a restful space for guests. The lounge includes a sofa-bed, a dining table with chairs, and a TV, offering a relaxing area to unwind after a day spent enjoying the beach. The kitchen is equipped with a full-size cooker, a fridge with an icebox, and a microwave, ensuring all the necessary facilities for a self-catering stay.

The chalet has a toilet and basin, with no shower within the chalet itself, but it is conveniently located near one of the well-maintained shower and toilet blocks. Heating is provided in the lounge, and the chalet is double-glazed and insulated, keeping it cosy and warm during the winter months. For outdoor relaxation, there are patios at both the front and rear of the chalet, each furnished with a table and chairs to enjoy the surrounding views.

Short lets may be available for Chalet 111, and those interested are encouraged to contact the office for more information. Well-behaved dogs are permitted, making it an ideal choice for dog owners. Please note that smoking is strictly prohibited in the chalet.

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.

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.
