Excellent loved it
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

Parking very easy but a shame they have none. In February it was straightforward but I bet the summer could get tricky.
Pillows pillows pillows. Just too soft.

A comfortable relaxing break
Pros:

We've been coming here through 4 owners and more years than we care to remember and it still has the same relaxed country vibe with friendly staff and comfortable rooms.

Cons:

The food just doesn't thrill, it's of a reasonable pub standard, and the coffee at breakfast is awful and would be more suitable for fence painting.

Historic atmosphere, four-poster bed, and pizza in the pub garden
Pros:

A very atmospheric old inn, with lovely courtyard and garden, and various cosy nooks in the bar. Worth paying for the room upgrade to get the full experience. The pizzas in the garden were good quality and Sunday roast was good too, but the breakfast was more average. Service when dining was a little variable, but good enough during my visit. Dunster Castle and its gardens was what drew me to this hotel, and it's a lovely quaint little village for 2-3 night breaks, possibly longer if you have a car to make day trips with. The bus journey from Taunton station was fairly long and overcrowded, but that's to be expected during school summer holidays. The EX1 coach trip to Lynton or onward to Ilfracombe is a nice journey with great scenery if you are combining Dunster with Devon. Unfortunately they could not run the open-top buses as the various councils / land owners had not cut back their trees to make it safe on the upper deck.

Cons:

A little limited on vegetarian options in the bar food menu, service erratic at times, but always friendly. A little more effort on the breakfast menu would be appreciated.

Stunning location, stunning village, great staff, lovely hotel, what more can I say 👍
Pros:

The setting and the gardens., the staff were all very friendly and helpful, due to the weather it was very hot, the receptionist was very helpful and offered me her fan for my room 😊

Cons:

Nothing, I knew parking would be an issue but it wasn’t a problem for me as I was able to park in a locked car park as I was attending a wedding
