We loved everything about the property. It’s full of charm. Wonky doorways, Wonky floors, Wonky ceilings… but in the best way. A few banged heads but no complaints from us! We had an issue with TV remote on day one and someone turned up with a new remote the next day. Responsive hosts. Lovely little details throughout. Lots to do - books, boxes and boxes of games, TV had Netflix and Disney. Parking is very close down the road. No issues day to day but we did have a few trips to unload the car so just bear in mind if bringing lots of stuff. On our departure we were lucky to find a space directly out the front to load.
Dunster is such a lovely unspoilt village. The lutterell arms did fabulous food. We ate there twice. We also had lunch at Tessa’s tea shop. All pubs, most cafes and most shops were dog friendly. Castle was closed for our trip but we walked around the ground and up to the tower on the opposite hill. Lovely walks a short drive to the forestry - tall trees at nutcombe bottom is impressive and easily extended into a big walk. We walked up to bats castle settlement with great views back down to Dunster and also did a few coastal walks down to Dunster from the oval (a nice loop in just under an hour), also parked up next to the old ship aground in minehead and walked up and around north hill and back to the pub for a nice dinner and then another walk further down the coast another day.
Our dog loved it. We loved it. I would stay again in a heartbeat.

Full of charm and wonky quirkiness and the host catered for every need and adopted an eco friendly approach. Parking is a huge bonus.

Amazing old house- nothing is straight or on the same level and ceilings and doors are low- very comfortable and well equipped.
