Overview

A truly away-from-it-all experience awaits you at this rustically chic retreat where wide countryside views and a peaceful pastoral setting create the perfect place for family holidays and relaxation.

Allercabin is one of four lovely holiday properties found on the 280 acre Allercott Farm which settles on the outskirts of Dunster; a Medieval village that’s as historically fascinating as it is attractive. Within easy reach of the coast, it's ideally positioned for guests to enjoy the quiet of rural Somerset yet still be close to the area’s towns, walks and attractions.

Designed to make the most of its picturesque setting, the cabin’s views over pasture and countryside can be enjoyed from nearly every angle. Inside, you’ll discover cool and contemporary furnishings as well as a host of creature comforts and luxuries, which means you’ll have all you need to be able to truly unwind during your stay. Bifold doors from the living area connect the inside space with the outdoors so when it’s warm, you can enjoy feasts in the fresh air or simply lazing in the sunshine. A wood-fired hot tub adds a touch of indulgence and invites soothing soaks at any time of the day or night.

A place for all seasons, Allercabin stays warm and toasty during the cooler months with a fabulous log burner in the main living area throwing out plenty of heat. The outside deck is partially covered too, which means that even when it’s raining, you’ll be able to sit out and take in the beautiful views of nature.

The village of Dunster which is just a couple of minutes’ drive from the farm has many pretty tea rooms to visit and charming shops to peruse. You'll also find historic sites to explore such as the town’s 17th Century octangular Yarn Market, and Dunster Castle with its working water mill. There are dog-friendly beaches within 6 miles of the farm including the pebble Dunster Beach which welcomes canines all year round, and Minehead. Porlock Weir is a 30 minute drive and well worth the trip for its beautifully clear water which is ideal for swimming, and so is the lovely beach at Lee Bay which can be reached through the Valley of Rocks from Lynton. Families will have a range of wonderful activities right on the doorstep including Dunkery Beacon, Exmoor's highest point, and Alpacas of Hall Farm which is just 10 minutes' drive from your cabin. Quince Honey Farm, Greencombe Gardens, the National Trust's Knighthayes and Doniford Farm Park are further afield, but terrific for a day out.

Reviews

First holiday without my late husband.
4.5/5

My sister-in-law and I both enjoyed our trip to Somerset. It was quite expensive but fairly new, so looked and felt worth the money. Circulation space was limited, with a smallish lounge diner and a kitchenette rather than a kitchen. Since the weather was wet the decking beyond the lounge was not accessible, so we were confined when we left our bedrooms. Bathroom basin far too small, huge shower wasted space. Please don't have a leather sofa in a dog-friendly holiday let.

Susan, 18 Oct 2024

Hi Susan, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your trip to Somerset. We’re glad to hear that you and your sister-in-law enjoyed your stay and found the property to be worth the money despite the higher cost. We appreciate your comments on the circulation space and the layout of the lounge diner and kitchenette. It’s unfortunate that the wet weather limited your use of the decking area, which would have provided additional space to relax. Your observations about the bathroom design are noted, especially regarding the small basin and the large shower. We will consider these points for future improvements. Lastly, we understand your concern about having a leather sofa in a dog-friendly holiday let. We’ll take this into account to ensure a more comfortable stay for our guests with pets. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future under better weather conditions! Best wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team

Great place to get away from the world
5/5

A wonderfully well appointed cabin with views over the surrounding fields. This beautifully presented hideaway is ideal for a break away from daily life. The owners were lovely and very helpful providing logs for the wood burner and hot tub. Dunster Castle and Reeves restaurant are well worth a visit.

Relaxing hideaway
5/5

What a wonderful, secluded heavenly place very close to Dunster. The cabin is very new so everything is spotless and all facilities tip top. It is cosy, so 4 people may be a push if the weather was unkind - but it worked for 3of us. The hot tub is gorgeous and so lovely after a day sightseeing. A lovely stay and we will definitely be back!!

5/5

What an absolute find, cracking location and a new build this year Hot tub was the feature especially with the theatre of lighting it etc But it was special that the owner message for an ETA so that she could light it ready for when we arrived Priceless little extra ie milk, eggs, tea, coffee, biscuits etc Would without doubt go again A*
