Description
Grabbist Torre (8 Park Street)Welcome to our beautiful 2 bed cottage, situated on the outskirts of the historic village of Dunster within the Exmoor National Park. This is a very loved family home and we hope you will fall in love with it as we have.

The beautiful and quaint medieval village of Dunster sits just inside the Exmoor National Park. Dunster is steeped in history and charm at every turn. The Old Yarn Market built in 1609 and the famous Lutteral Arms Hotel stand at one end of the high street and the imposing Dunster Castle and working mill at the other. There are a number of walled gardens, gift shops, a well stocked deli, coffee shops, restaurants and museums to keep you busy.
At the end of our street is a small car park, Dunster's award winning playground and the 14th century Gallox Bridge over the river Avil. From here you can walk up into the woods and over Exmoor. There is a good chance you will meet the Exmoor ponies and the deer here.

By David & Christine on 08-Jul-2026Lovely, lovely week in this charming cottage. Very comfortable and easy to stay, soon felt like 'home'. Weekend was 30+ most days. Dunster is a beautiful place to spend a few days exploring the village and the parks around the castle and then up to Bats castle. Our days always started with a coffee at The Mill tea rooms and ended with drinks in the cottage garden.
