Incredibly helpful service
I've stayed in many hotels and can't think of one where the owners went out of their way to help as much as here. At check in was greated with a very friendly host, without asking was offered a room upgrade. Extra's in the room such as a glass of sherry was a nice touch.
Nothing was too much trouble and whilst breakfast was a pre-order menu, the rules were tick exactly what you want and it will be made fresh for you.
When my wife woke up poorly, Lisa couldnt have done more to help, even blocking the room from other bookings incase we needed to stay.
Highly recommend, we will definately be back when in the area next

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.

Somerset Stay
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.
