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.

Wonderful lodging in a small market village
On a month-long trip to England and Wales, we stayed in a number of older or historic properties. This was by far the best one we experienced. Hosts were accommodating in so many ways - local travel advice, public transportation, dining, historic sites and more. Breakfasts were delicious, room was wonderful, location was a short walk from bus stop and quick connections to trains. We've learned that quaint or historic lodgings are nice, but the services at many of them can be unpredictable. We were very pleased and happy to discover the Dunster Castle Hotel.

Dunster castle visit
John and Lisa were very attentive during our stay and we had good communication before we arrived. As a customer you felt very welcomed. The hotel has adapted to a changing environment post covid lockdown, mainly regarding the level of staffing. My wife and I would stay there again without a doubt.

The hotel was superbly sited with free parking (no good if you have a big car as the entrance is very narrow). Our room was clean and cosy with sea views. Staff were friendly and courteous and breakfast was superb.

Lovely hotel situated in the village of Dunster. My room was nice and cool, very welcome on those warm days. Host John and Lisa are wonderful. My breakfasts, salmon and scrambled egg and full English were excellent. Well worth a visit
