Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The cottage had everything we needed and more. I was very keen to use all the eco toiletries and they have been perfect. The four poster bed is beautiful and a joy to sleep in. Having such a well-stocked kitchen meant we could easily cook for four days and eat out for the rest. The off road parking spot was a double plus
Summary: Pretty , comfortable , medieval cottage with mod cons . A brilliant base to explore the local area

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The house definitely had the wow factor, full of history, quirky and yet had all mod cons. It was very clean, comfortable and within a short walking distance of amenities and places of interest. Everything had been thought of to make sure that guests enjoyed their stay. The hosts provided milk, sugar, coffee, teabags and lovely chocolate biscuits, kitchen essentials, toiletries and loo rolls in both bathrooms. Plenty of information on the area was also provided. Lucy and the team were always available if needed.
Negative: Nothing to dislike
Summary: We would recommend The Oval without hesitation

Positive: We are a half-German, half-Finnish family, and after our flight from Amsterdam to Bristol and a scenic drive to Dunster, we finally arrived at The Oval — and the place is incredible. From the very first moment, it felt like Gandalf arriving at Bilbo Baggins’ home in the Shire (though I promise I didn’t leave a mark on the door!). The house is full of charm and thoughtful details that make it feel truly homely. You can tell that a lot of love and care went into creating this space — and it really makes all the difference. Even our teenage boys were genuinely impressed (!!) We had a fantastic time exploring the area. The natural surroundings are stunning and incredibly diverse — whether it’s adventuring along the dramatic stony coastline of King Arthur’s legend, or walking / partly climbing 😢😉Fisherman’s Path in Dartmoor. The village Dunster is really worth to visit too. All in all, we had a brilliant five-day trip through South UK staying in the Oval. A big thank you to the kind and caring team at The Oval!
Negative: Some of my guys are >190cm. Their heads survived! So nothing to claim!😉
Summary: A magical stay at the Oval!

Positive: A very wonderful house which we thoroughly enjoyed during a gorgeous week of sunny weather. In spite of the GCSE revision and various work tasks, we enjoyed some of our favourite walks locally and over at Horner Wood with its pretty tearoom. The village is a lovely as we remembered and look forward to visiting the Castle today. We loved the garden terrace too – warm enough to sit out for hours at a time. We can’t wait to stay here again.
Summary: Very nice place to stay.

Positive: Beautiful, characterful, clean, great location and staff helpful and friendly. Very spacious and kitchen well stocked.
Negative: Shower ensuite to four poster room a bit small. Smell of property rather musty but appreciate old. Patio off kitchen could be looked after better and prettier with flowers.
