I could quite happily have spent 2 days just in Dunster then used it as a base for the wider area - the beaches and even Cheddar gorge. We ate dinner at the Luttrell Arms which was nice but Reeves looked good too. We had coffee and cake at Tessa's Tea rooms and bought stuff in the independent shops. The only thing I'd have changed was the weather as we had a few downpours but that's Britain for you!!

Iys a very old village with more grade 2 listed buildings than anywhere else in England. The Castle and grounds are always good to visit. We had a good choice of walks in the surrounding countryside. There are a few good places to eat including a very good Aisian restaurant. It's very easy to get around the village.

Dunster is on the edge of Exmoor National Park, which imho is the most underrated national park in the UK. The views are magnificent, with small cozy towns, beautiful nature, good roads for walking, cycling and mountain biking. Dunster itself is a small cozy village with a proper Castle, although through shortness of time we didn't visit it.

The small town has a lot to offer - lovely walks around the castle, good restaurants to choose from, interesting shops and a superb art gallery with a labrynth of beautiful works of art. A must has to be the West Somerset railway which you can catch the steam train from Dunster station - Dunster Beach is close by where can walk to Blue Anchor along the stunning coastal path.
Hathaway Restaurant is quirky but great food.
Yarn Market Hotel offers a good menu in homely surroundings.

Fabulous location in the heart of Dunster. Olivia our host couldn’t have been more welcoming and caring . A great enclosed pretty garden which both we and our 2 small dogs enjoyed . Property was spotlessly clean . Comfortable bed and good quality bedding. A very thoughtful fruit bowl , milk, coffee and tea bags to get you started . Complimentary tea and cake were much appreciated downstairs in the Castle Coffee House . Home made cakes every day by our host Olivia
Fabulous room with seating area, overlooking the garden. The bath! Essential after a 50km run! Lovely toiletries. Really comfy bed. Fridge with complimentary water. Fan which was appreciated as so hot. Food was fabulous, as were the restaurant staff- the same 2 ladies seemed to be there all weekend, as was the lovely lady on reception. Staff all so friendly. Rear access to the castle and to my race.
Beautifully appointed room - lovely bedlinen and fluffy towels. Exceptionally clean. Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Additional little touches made all the difference - fresh milk, biscuits, selection of teas and coffee, toiletries etc. Room was spacious and comfortable. Great choice for breakfast and all delicious! Central location close to all Dunster has to offer.
Perfect location in the centre of this historic village. Lovely comfortable room with its own entrance which was extremely useful as we had our dog with us.
Breakfast choice excellent. Quality produce served which was tasty and plentiful.
Parking on site was a bonus as village parking is limited. Owners Lisa and John were absolutely amazing and nothing was too much trouble.
Fourth time staying here, each time in a different room. Delighted with all of them. Love all the thoughtful little extras, such as bath bubbles and sun cream for my face. Fresh milk in the fridge outside our door, along with spare supplies of drinks and snacks. Lovely location for exploring the village, with handy on-street parking right outside the door from 6pm to 9am.
Dunster Castle Hotel is a picturesque, historical building in the middle of what has to be one of the most attractive villages we have ever visited in England. The hosts were friendly, attentive and went out of the way to make us welcome. The breakfast was exceptional--we were spoiled for choice--and the room was extremely clean and comfortable.
The property is well equipped & comfortable with everything you need to make your stay perfect in every way.
The apartment is located in an excellent location to explore Dunster & the surrounding countryside.

From the minute we got there (late as usual), we were made to feel welcome. Nothing was too much trouble. Immaculately clean and breakfast was to die for. I've stayed in many hotels and locations and this was by far the best. I will definitely be going back. Thank you to our hosts and see you again.
