🌊 Dunster Beach: Poor bathing water 1.1 mi · Environment Agency
Tucked into Minehead, Somerset, The Oval sleeps six and suits families or groups wanting an easy base near the coast. A nearby bus stop and EV charging make travel simple, and the cottage is close to a train station too.
Dunster Beach is just over a mile away, though do note its water quality is rated poor. For meals out, Butchers Arms pub is 1.3 miles off and Flapjackery bakery a little further at 2.1 miles. There's plenty to explore nearby, including the Gauge Museum Blue Anchor and Minehead Museum, both around 2 miles away, while Tropiquaria offers a day out with the family 4.5 miles from the cottage.
