  • This is Dunster Castle, near Minehead in North Somerset. This is the view you get as you approach, and I just think it's such a beautiful sight, rising up out of the trees. There's an ancient castle, plus a more modern (as in 17th century modern) Manor House. The last residents gave it to the National Trust to look after. Dunster Village is also very pretty and worth a little wander through.

Good service

Nice place close to Dunster Castle. An old charming place to stay, it's best days is in the past. It have character and a good atmosphere. The hosts are service minded, very helpful and accommodating. Got it's own parking in the back, but a tight squeeze to get through the passageway, not for big vehicles.

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.
