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

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.

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.

The proprietors (John and Lisa) could not have been more obliging. Full details on hotel facilities and dining options - they only provide evening meals on Sunday/Monday The quality of the food was excellent. Added benefit of onsite private parking albeit with a narrow entrance - but ok with care.

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.
