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.

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.

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.

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.

Very helpful host, I had some bad news whilst I was away and she was very sympathetic and helpful to us. The property was amazing; tastefully decorated and clean with lots of character. We had to cut our journey short, but plan to go back again as soon as life is settled down again.

Dunster Cottage
Very nice cottage, very clean with nice furniture and a comfy bed. All as described by the owner, who was excellent in her communications with us , a small courtyard garden but it had a table and seats and as we were very lucky with the weather we did use it, small communal garden at the end of the cottages was slightly odd as not sure if we were using some other families seating. Loads of places to go in and around Dunster we love this area and would certainly use this cottage again. Good WiFi if you need that, we would have liked a smart tv to access iplayer etc but we used our iPad instead. And thank you Janet for a lovely cake and things you left to welcome us
