Very good hotel in the centre of Dunster so didn’t need to move the car for the whole weekend. We were able to park our car in the hotel’s car park at back of property. Breakfast was very good - freshly cooked, The owners were very friendly & helpful

Great place to stay

Really friendly hosts, we turned up soaked nearly four hours early due to a recent storm (traveling by motorcycle). They didn't bat an eyelid and booked us in streight away. You can even take your own drinks into the bar (at the moment) as well. Breakfast was excellent.

Dunster castle visit

John and Lisa were very attentive during our stay and we had good communication before we arrived. As a customer you felt very welcomed. The hotel has adapted to a changing environment post covid lockdown, mainly regarding the level of staffing. My wife and I would stay there again without a doubt.

Outstanding service.

Excellent experience. The couple who run the hotel (sorry, I can't remember their name) were so welcoming and engaging, and really coukdnt do enough for you. The room was compact, but absolutely perfect for me as a lone traveller. Very clean, tidy and comfortable. Highly recommend.

Lovely Dunster hotel

We had a very enjoyable stay. Staff really lovely and made us very welcome. The main restaurant is closed most nights except Sunday and Monday but don’t let this stop you as they recommend lovely places around and all walkable I’d try and reserve a table at one just to stop any dissapointment if you arrive late. Only reason I put 4 instead of 5 was because the hot water tap wouldn’t go on but I had a lovely shower instead. It’s the onky thing I could fault. Lovely rooms and it had all nice extras like a Sherry in the room and nice shampoos etc
Karen, 1-night trip

Great breakfast choice!

We had a 2 night stay to visit local National Trust properties. The owners are friendly and helpful and provide an excellent range of choices for breakfast. The only slight downside is that the rooms are on the small side. Although they don't serve other meals, they do allow you to bring in your own food and drink, or they will serve you drinks from the bar on demand. Most of the restaurants in the village are quite pricey, but the Foresters at the bottom of the village is better value and, although it's largely standard pub grub, it's very well cooked.

Summer break.

The two night stay was absolutely brilliant, the hotel was lovely the owners could not do enough to make your stay as good as possible. The room we had was large and very comfortable and the food was second to none, breakfast and evening meals. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone whose interested in visiting Dunster.

6/10 Good

Disappointing on arrival as expecting a pretty hotel with hanging baskets of flowers. The hotel looked very tired & dull. Parking was good, yes the entrance is narrow but take it slow & it’s fine. Check in was quick & the gentleman was friendly. We booked a superior room including breakfast. Room was large & ok for a night but also looked tired, windows would not open & was very stuffy with poor lighting. Wardrobe door kept springing open in front of exit door. Toiletries not as advertised. Netflix did not work. No fridge in room had to use a communal fridge in a different one. Breakfast was just ok, coffee was good. Lisa was very friendly & gave us some local information which was helpful. Would we stay again or recommend - no as felt very overpriced & probably living off previous great reviews. Hotel appears to be up for sale so this may explain why sadly things have slipped. A real shame as a lovely old grade II listed building.
