Dunster Beach

We bought Chalet 235 in 2015, it has since undergone extensive refurbishment and now Salad Days, boasts luxurious, boutique, beach hut accommodation, a first for Dunster Beach. Salad Days is a traditional British beach hut on the outside that treats you to unexpected luxury on the inside.

Dunster Beach is a collection of around 250 beach huts sandwiched between the Bristol Channel on one side with views of the Welsh coast and The Hawn nature reserve (which Salad Days Dunster overlooks) on the other, with views of Exmoor National Park and Dunster Castle beyond. A walk along the beach brings you to the traditional seaside town of Minehead at one end and Blue Anchor Bay at the other.

Somerset's Attractions

Dunster Beach started life in the roaring 1920's by Lady Luttrel who resided at Dunster Castle. She had the first beach hut installed for her personal use, then a few more were built to be rented out, a few years later a second row (where Salad Days is located) was added. During World War II it housed Coastal Defence Workers and the Home Guard building the coastal fortifications, Dunster Beach had slit trenches, barbed wire and pillboxes, although now gone the pillboxes remain as a reminder of darker days at Dunster Beach.

Today it offers a charming escape from modern life. Relax and unwind at Salad Days Beach Hut.
