A lovely cottage, very comfortable and homely and we used the the garden room to eat in a lot. Well equipped with two great bathrooms, we had a lovely stay. Dunster is wonderful and there is plenty to do within walking distance, and a great location to explore beautiful Exmoor. We ate out at the Forresters Arms and The Luttrells Arms and both were excellent, with very friendly and helpful staff. We had two cars, one was parked in the garage at the house and the other at the pay and display car park just down the road. The Gallox bridge at the end of the road was a great place to watch bats at dusk! We would highly recommend!
