The breakfast was excellent. Plenty of choice and my requests for dietary requirements were met. We had an evening meal which again was first class. The room was comfortable. If we booked again we would like a room with a bigger shower space.

Great location. Nicely decorated rooms. Really excellent breakfast. Also liked that it is owned by the YMCA and run as a charity, investing in giving apprenticeships to young people.

Exceptional value for money, for a double room at £76 a night, especially over a Bank Holiday weekend, when the West Somerset Railway is hosting its hugely popular steam gala. My room was spacious and reasonably well equipped, with tea and coffee in the room. Quiet too, despite being over a busy pub. Being able to just go downstairs to a restaurant for dinner or breakfast was great too, after walking miles all day! My room had an ensuite shower and bath, with plenty of hot water too. A comfortable bed and free wifi completed the picture. Key card entry to both the rooms and the access corridor was nice to see.
Featuring a garden and guest lounge, Georgian House offers luxury accommodation in Watchet.

What a fantastic few days! Izzy and Peter are brilliant hosts; funny, charming and great company!
The house is in a perfect spot, it’s peaceful with gorgeous views and plenty of parking.
We had a really comfortable room and bed and slept so well, then woke up to the most delicious breakfast.
There’s a guest lounge with a bar, pool table, darts and various games.
Everything you could ever want from an escape away and great value for money.
Highly recommended!!

I could quite happily have spent 2 days just in Dunster then used it as a base for the wider area - the beaches and even Cheddar gorge. We ate dinner at the Luttrell Arms which was nice but Reeves looked good too. We had coffee and cake at Tessa's Tea rooms and bought stuff in the independent shops. The only thing I'd have changed was the weather as we had a few downpours but that's Britain for you!!

Iys a very old village with more grade 2 listed buildings than anywhere else in England. The Castle and grounds are always good to visit. We had a good choice of walks in the surrounding countryside. There are a few good places to eat including a very good Aisian restaurant. It's very easy to get around the village.

Dunster is on the edge of Exmoor National Park, which imho is the most underrated national park in the UK. The views are magnificent, with small cozy towns, beautiful nature, good roads for walking, cycling and mountain biking. Dunster itself is a small cozy village with a proper Castle, although through shortness of time we didn't visit it.

The small town has a lot to offer - lovely walks around the castle, good restaurants to choose from, interesting shops and a superb art gallery with a labrynth of beautiful works of art. A must has to be the West Somerset railway which you can catch the steam train from Dunster station - Dunster Beach is close by where can walk to Blue Anchor along the stunning coastal path.
Hathaway Restaurant is quirky but great food.
Yarn Market Hotel offers a good menu in homely surroundings.

We had a lovely stay at the house.
Pete and Karen were the perfect hosts. Very friendly and made us feel very welcome.
Good local knowledge and recommendations.
Very pretty area and good location for all amenities.
We love Dunster but had not stayed at the Dunster Castle hotel before. The location is convenient to everything, and the car park behind was a pleasant surprise! The rooms were stylish and super comfortable (a glass of sherry before bed was delightful), and breakfast was delicious. Our son was with us and had an interview over Zoom and the wi-fi worked perfectly. We could not have been happier with the hotel and the owners—just so accommodating. We will definitely stay here our next time to Dunster.
Delicious breakfast ....very good assortment of pastries , cerals, fruits. The hot choices were very good and cooked to perfection. We loved the staff. They were all wonderful esp Jules, Freya, Lucy, Charlie. Dinner was superb. The fish n chips were an A+++ and we are from New England.
The hotel is so steeped in unique history and each nook and crannies reflects this beauty. Our room ( #1)was fantastic.I The Secret Garden was indeed a lovely secret haven for afternoon tea.
Fourth time staying here, each time in a different room. Delighted with all of them. Love all the thoughtful little extras, such as bath bubbles and sun cream for my face. Fresh milk in the fridge outside our door, along with spare supplies of drinks and snacks. Lovely location for exploring the village, with handy on-street parking right outside the door from 6pm to 9am.
We were here during the Dunster Archeryweek. We enyoing the wonderfull cottage. Fully complete and a pleasure to stay and live in it.
Next year we're coming back, for sure!
Dean and Colin, you are two lovely guys and two wonderful hosts. You've make our stay complete.
Dean you cooking is fabelous and Colin you make from the garden a little paradise.
Excellent choice. First visit, but definitely not the last. The hosts are welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful. The hotel location is within couple of minutes walk of Dunster Castle, and easily access with parking. Dining was superb, lovely Sunday roast dinner, and breakfast was very special. Highly recommended.
It was all perfect! Tessa was a fabulous host, and made us feel welcome right away. The location and property were also fantastic, and felt like stepping into a comforting novel. If we're ever back towards Dunster I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Please give this a chance if you're able!
Lovely, spacious cottage. Some beautiful features and quite quirky. Very comfortable beds. Extremely well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. Pretty garden with stream running through it. Nice under floor heating in the bathroom. Walking distance to Dunster Castle.
We had a lovely stay between Christmas and New Year. The hotel is cosy, welcoming and exceedingly dog friendly. As it was quiet we were upgraded to the honeymoon suite which made our stay even better. Would definitely consider staying again and would highly recommend to all.

all good, I find this hotel comfortable and relaxing, we enjoyed the evening meal and breakfast too, as is usual at this hotel, but the accommodation is too expensive.
