Owners were welcoming and engaging. Peter and Izzy made us feel at home. The room, lounge and breakfast room spotless.
Choice of breakfast menu was excellent and food enjoyable and plentiful.
There were a number of personal touches included which made the rooms interesting telling stories and paintings which added quality to the premises and less like a plain b&b and more like your home. Decor of the rooms was fresh and pleasant. When we visit the area again we shall certainly choose Exmoor House for our stay.

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.

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.
Full of character, extremely clean and decorated beautifully with flair & imagination. Comfy bed, great bathroom and the kitchen had all you would need to self cater if you wished. Parking at back of property & location in Dunster was perfect for us. Ladies & Sandro very welcoming and we had a welcome bottle of Italian rose on arrival and so glad we booked a meal in their restaurant for our first night as it was exceptional.
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.
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.
Excellent choice. First visit, but definitely not the last. The hosts are welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful. The hotel location is within couple of minutes walk of Dunster Castle, and easily access with parking. Dining was superb, lovely Sunday roast dinner, and breakfast was very special. Highly recommended.
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.
