The room was large and very sunny, the cooked breakfast was acceptable. The small car park was adequate. Good location if you want to be in the centre of Minehead, but would recommend stay further away.

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.

We had a lovely stay at the house.
We had a lovely stay at the house.
Pete and Karen were the perfect hosts. Very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Good local knowledge and recommendations.
Very pretty area and good location for all amenities.
We love Dunster but had not stayed at the Dunster Castle hotel before. The location is convenient to everything, and the car park behind was a pleasant surprise! The rooms were stylish and super comfortable (a glass of sherry before bed was delightful), and breakfast was delicious. Our son was with us and had an interview over Zoom and the wi-fi worked perfectly. We could not have been happier with the hotel and the owners—just so accommodating. We will definitely stay here our next time to Dunster.
Delicious breakfast ....very good assortment of pastries , cerals, fruits. The hot choices were very good and cooked to perfection. We loved the staff. They were all wonderful esp Jules, Freya, Lucy, Charlie. Dinner was superb. The fish n chips were an A+++ and we are from New England.
The hotel is so steeped in unique history and each nook and crannies reflects this beauty. Our room ( #1)was fantastic.I The Secret Garden was indeed a lovely secret haven for afternoon tea.
Quaint place with eclectic wall coverings. Very unique items everywhere you look. Room was comfortable and had everything we needed. Breakfast was the best we've had on our trip, not to mention presentation was like a 5 star restaurant. They currently do dinner only 2 nights and wish our stay included one of them. If you're visiting Dunster Castle, you can walk instead of paying £5.50 to park in official lot.
An exceptionally warm welcome when we arrived. We were given a complimentary room upgrade, which was ever so kind & greatly appreciated as it was my birthday. They really couldn't have done more for us. The room was really lovely, with a large comfy bed. Breakfast was delicious, with a great selection available. . Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with a great location just on the main street of Dunster.
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.
Cosy, comfy, friendly - you could tell as soon as you walked up the path, through the lovely flowery garden, that it was going to be a great place to stay. And it was all so welcoming, with a great breakfast and lovely touches like a range of locally produced teas and 'proper' biscuits in the room - and all in such a historic location, so close to Dunster castle
Woodville is a beautifully furnished & stylish apartment with a lovely courtyard garden. It is in a peaceful location but only minutes away from all that Dunster has to offer. Colin & Dean are the most warm & welcoming hosts & they have thought of everything to make the apartment comfortable & homely. I will definitely stay at Woodville again.
This is a very historic building. We were met with a very warm welcome from the hosts who treated us very well. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast choice was very good with good choice of cereals & cooked breakfast also. Our room was very spacious and warm and overlooked the main street in Dunster.
The location is perfect for a visit to Historic Dunster and the amazing walks in the area. The rooms were large comfortable and very clean. Lots of little extras like fresh milk. The breakfasts were wonderful freshly cooked to order. The hosts were very welcoming.
A wonderful place to stay in Dunster. Fabulous hosts, super clean and comfortable. We enjoyed eating in their restaurant Hathaways - you must book in advance to get in. Kasia was an excellent host and Sandro’s food was perfection. Don’t stay anywhere else!
Beautifully clean and fresh. Very comfortable and had a really good night’s sleep in the huge lovely bed.
Although on the High St it was very quiet and perfectly located for exploring Dunster. Owner very friendly and helpful.
Dunster is an amazing little village with wonderful walks and a spectacular garden and castle! Little Dragons is in a wonderful location within a couple of minutes walk of everything.
One of the best hotels we have visited, a very well presented, feel good place, quirky in places and very homely, breakfast, bar and evening meals all top class. Great stay...
