3 Old Police Station

Surprisingly roomy house, clean kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms with all required facilities. Small enclosed garden very safe for our 2 little dogs. Thick walls making it cool when it’s hot and soundproof when you sleep considering it’s just off a main road.

The musty smell when we entered the property. The overgrown garden and a freezer with somebody else’s food in it. It was very apparent that they are in the process of refurbing the place with decorating items hidden around the house and a freshly plastered dining room ceiling. It would have been nice if the price had reflected that.

Lovely big house in a beautiful town. We loved Dunster, and visited the castle and the playpark. We also went in to Minehead to the beach.

The heating didn't work on the first day and night and it was extremely cold. The owner had trouble locating a plumber but did come the following day to fix it.

Property was a very nice old building, the garden was very useful as we had our dog with us . It was clean and beds were very comfortable. It was also a great location for what we needed.

There wasn’t anything we really disliked but there was a couple of things that could be improved - sofa could do with replacing, the dining room looked as if it was undergoing repairs which didn’t worry us but would have liked if it was mentioned before we got there, net curtains in large bathroom was mouldy but otherwise everything was good.

The property itself is beautiful, and really well located for Dunster village/castle, and Minehead. There is a good sized back garden and convenient parking directly outside the cottage. Lovely comfy beds. Very spacious inside the cottage - large kitchen with good appliances. Lovely bottle of wine left in fridge for us.

The property feels unloved and uncared for. It needs redecorating as there are marks on walls and chipped gloss work; many of the rooms have no pictures on the walls so it feels stark and sterile; the garden furniture looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in weeks; there are no cleaning products provided to assist guests in keeping it hygienic (surprising, considering Covid is still around); there was about 2 squirts of hand wash in the bottom of a bottle provided in the bathroom - fortunately we did a bit of hunting in the cupboard and found a spare (same with walking up liquid); only 2 of the cheapest, nastiest toilet rolls provided to go between both toilets; no oven gloves as previously commented on by previous guests; no curtain in the bathroom so you have to shower with no light on otherwise you’d be in a goldfish bowl for all to see; cutlery drawer was covered in brown, sticky stain; rubbish strewn over garden from previous guests that nobody has bothered picking up….. The list above details a collection of lots of little things, ALL of which would be so easy to correct. It just feels so mean and as if the owners are not prepared to spend a little on the small things - I’m sure if they did, it would rent for a higher fee and they’d get the money back! We’ve stayed in so many holiday cottages and never experienced meanness like this before, and sadly it leads to negative reviews when, with a bit of attention to detail and some care, this could be a WONDERFUL holiday cottage. Such a shame.
