Stay in Dunster

Delightful Dunster, a beautiful village located at the gateway to Exmoor National Park. The cottage was homely and we were made to feel very welcome. The location is perfect for walking into the village and to Dunster Castle, and well placed for exploring Exmoor. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Perfect getaway at the end of the year. Second stay at this Cottage which is lovely. The underfloor heating at this time of the year very cosy to come home to. Thank you for checking in during the stay and for the late check out on New Years Day.

Lovely small cottage.

We spent four wonderful days in the cottage, which was very comfortable and fully equipped. The homemade cake on arrival was a thoughtful gesture. The cottage was a good base for us to explore the local area. We ate in the restaurants in Dunster and on each evening had delicious meals.

Mixed experience.

Whilst the cottage is nicely decorated and well equipped we experienced issues. 1. Parking almost impossible outside the cottage, had to park elsewhere in the village. Finding a space was a real problem. 2. This is a terraced cottage and the walls are paper thin. We had just one night uninterrupted sleep. Neighbours were banging about from 1.30am until 3.30am. We could hear every word of their conversations. The noise from water pipes next door was really loud especially in the early hours. 3. No mobile signal in the cottage but that can be said for much of Dunster. This should all be made clear before booking. Would not recommend.

Great Stay in Dunster

This an extremely well appointed cottage in a delightful village. The owner, Janet, is very attentive available and quick too respond to the smallest issue - and we had only one very minor thing to contact her about. On arrival, cake and tea were provided which was lovely after a long day of travel. The cottage has everything you could imagine for a comfortable stay basic food stuffs like tea, coffee, fresh milk salt pepper salad dressing, oils and so on - all there. Dunster itself is as we remember it from a previous visit. As Canadians we love the English village experience and this is quintessentially English to be sure. The pubs we remember have all suffered from COVID and some - the Stags Head - are closed despite the website saying it isn’t and all pubs require bookings for meals. So no more ambling about without a plan and popping into a pub for a beer and a ploughmans. A first world problem really but for a short stay one to keep in mind. Book your meals at the Luttrell Arms in advance is my tip. Thanks you Janet for another fantastic stay in your lovely cottage.

Superb cottage getaway

Everything about our stay was excellent. The moment we walked through the door we were relaxed. The cottage was beautifully clean, it smelt amazing and there were extra touches to make us feel welcome. The log basket was full; there was cake left on the dining table; the Christmas tree lights were on; there was a loaf of bread, teabags, milk and butter to get us started. Janet has simply thought of everything.
