Dunster Castle Hotel

We booked this hotel as a spur of the moment getaway with other dog. We were greeted by John and given so much helpful information and a really personable welcome. We had a sunday roast cooked by John and he even cooked a separate mini roast for our dog! We’re foodies and John’s roast dinner was top notch! Our room had a separate entrance because we had our dog which was really helpful! Comfy beds, tea, biscuits and fresh milk! In the morning John prepared our cooked breakfast to perfection! To sum up: We had the best night away at Dunster Castle Hotel. John and Lisa were the most amazing hosts and it was clear to see that they both had so much time for each one of their residents and a passion for their business. Beautifully home cooked food, very dog friendly and we would absolutely love to return!

We stayed at the hotel to celebrate our wedding anniversary. John and Lisa are wonderful hosts, our room was beautiful and breakfast delicious. They also gave us an anniversary card, which was a lovely touch. Lisa had recommended some local restaurants too, which was a great help, and really made our stay feel special. Village Location is superb with a very short walk to the castle. Thank you so much ☺️

At last - a hotel/B&B that does not disappoint in any way. We stayed three nights. Very spacious. Great central location. John and Lisa are the perfect hosts. ||Breakfast plentiful and delicious. ||Room spacious and well equipped. At first we were concerned about the noise from traffic but by 9pm each night there ws barely any passing traffic.||The entrance to the car park is unavoidably narrow. Take time lining up your car first and maybe fold in your wing mirrors.

We have just come back from our 2 night stay and we absolutely loved it, the hotel was decorated lovely and very clean and welcoming. John and Lisa made us feel very welcome and the breakfast was lovely (especially the fruit salad). We would definitely like to stay again as we all thought it was great, thank you for such a lovely stay.

stayed the night in a standard double room which was very comfortable and clean. Dinner was extremely good, beautifully tender lamb and perfectly cooked veg. Breakfast was great and the hosts extremely attentive. literally a stones throw from the castle and in the middle of the historic high street.

This is a super friendly hotel, run by the owners John & Lisa and their small team. They could not do enough for you and their attention to detail was absolutely brilliant - just lovely people! The hotel is situated on the main street of Dunster, it is an excellent location for the lovely town , Castle & grounds and all surrounding areas, which is stunning. Best breakfast ever, made with loving care. the bedroom was immaculate. Thank you, we hope to return soon, Chris & Pat (Shrewsbury)

This is our third visit to Dunster and we are already planning our return. Dunster is a charming village dotted with wonderful little boutique shops selling unique artisanal goodies, and some fantastic hotels and cafes to boot. The Dunster Castle Hotel wholly encapsulates both the charm and the quirkiness of the village. Owners John and Lisa are very warm and welcoming and the lovely sitting and breakfast areas are filled with their eye-catching artworks and antiques. The back garden is a peaceful flower-filled oasis. Our bedroom was gorgeously decorated; a high-ceilinged, light-filled haven and we had the best night's sleep of our whole trip to Somerset. The breakfast room is also rather special, as is the breakfast offering. It was outstanding. Every single mouthful was delicious and we really can't wait to return.

Only here for one night but so glad we chose this place to stop at. Beautifully designed rooms throughout, our room was a small double and quite cozy but loved the decor and the added touches of biscuits and sherry! Had the best homecooked roast dinner we have had in years for a very reasonable price, John is a star in the kitchen and Lisa was perfect for front of house remembering everything mentioned and very warm and friendly. Dunster itself is a gorgeous village and this hotel is a gem. Secure free car park at back too Thanks to the whole team for a lovely stay, Adrian and Louise
