  • This is Dunster Castle, near Minehead in North Somerset. This is the view you get as you approach, and I just think it's such a beautiful sight, rising up out of the trees. There's an ancient castle, plus a more modern (as in 17th century modern) Manor House. The last residents gave it to the National Trust to look after. Dunster Village is also very pretty and worth a little wander through.

Gorgeous food, lovely village

Superb restaurant food for dinner in this delightful village compensates for the rather mediocre room in this ancient inn. However the latter is reflected in the very modes room price and staying here is worthwhile for the dining experience alone. The staff are all very pleasant and helpful

Lovely countryside stay

Lovely 2-night B&B stay in a twin room which was clean and comfortable and a good size, with a large bathroom with a powerful over bath shower. Good night's sleep both nights as the village is very quiet. Ideal base for exploring Exmoor. Food was very good at breakfast(pre-ordered the night before) and at dinner. Friendly staff. Good Covid measures in place.
