Find My Favourite Holiday Cottages in Dunster
The medieval Somerset village of Dunster lies a mile or two inland from the West Somerset coast near Minehead and offers visitors a choice of attractive and historic holiday homes. The village, with its broad cobbled High Street, lined with typical Somerset cottages and classy merchants' houses, indicates an affluent community in the 16th and 17th centuries, giving the town its attractive period appearance today. Look out for the craft shops, art galleries, tea rooms, and stylish boutiques, and then trace your steps to the 600-year-old castle, the home of the Luttrell family, for much of that time. The hexagonal Yarn Market (look for the hole made by a Civil War cannon ball in its roof) housed the wool auctions, the basis of Dunster's prosperity.
