The region
Dunster is a medieval village on the edge of Exmoor National Park in West Somerset, dominated by its magnificent castle perched on a wooded hilltop above the High Street.
Often described as one of the most intact medieval villages in England, Dunster has a rich history stretching back over a thousand years. The iconic octagonal Yarn Market, built in the early 1600s, sits at the heart of the village -- a reminder of its prosperous wool-trading past. The broad High Street is lined with independent shops, galleries, tea rooms, and characterful pubs, many housed in listed buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The village has its own Post Office with a cash machine, a deli, and a good range of places to eat and drink. For larger supermarkets, banks, and petrol stations, the coastal town of Minehead is just 1.5 miles away -- Tesco and Morrisons are both on the outskirts with long opening hours. Most shops in Dunster keep traditional hours of 9am to 5pm, often extending in summer.
Dunster hosts a lively programme of events throughout the year, including the Dunster Show, Dunster Country Fair, and the much-loved Winter Festival in early December when the village is lit by candlelight with music, dancing, and medieval re-enactments in the streets.

The house was spotless, extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. Plenty of space to relax, good bathrooms and very comfy beds. Dunster is a gorgeous village with pubs and cafes on the doorstep and surrounded by amazing scenery.
This was a last minute short break for New Year and we loved it. The cottage is beautiful and the location outstanding. We have really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely book again .
This house was an awesome stay. The layout is spacious for up to 3 couples (we had 2) and room to sit and visit. The town of Dunster is fun with shops and good food choices. The home is well taken care of and even though it is on the street, the car noise was not a problem. We really enjoyed our stay here.
Lovely clean, spacious cottage, everything we needed. Short drive to other local towns & villages. Thank you ! ps. Could do with a bit of d i y in ensuite, minor issues with few items coming loose
The initial kerb appeal was not great with cobwebs on metal railings and around front door. A good sweep was also needed. However, once in the property is was much better. The owner has provided most items to ensure a comfortable stay although the bedding, once good quality, was rather thin and well worn. The on-suite still has loose items but is perfectly usable. The property is situated in a great location to visit the area and is lovely and spacious.
