Great in every way
10.0 / 10.0
Fantastic location , perfect for us and our family our 19 year old daughter and her boyfriend enjoyed time to themselves visiting nearb Minehead and enjoying the beautiful dunster village eating out and mooching in the lovely local shops.
We all went to Tarr steps which is a lovely circular walk perfect for us all and the dog absolutely beautiful place.
Dunster beach is just down the road great walk along the beach or path to blue anchor. The steam train is also worth going on you feel like you have stepped back in time.
The rest of the week we ditched the car as the walks we went on you could do right from the cottage up to the tower just behind the cottage. We also walked to nutcombe bottom where it has the tallest tree in England. On the way back we stopped at view point for a picnic what a view.
So many more places to visit and explore but we ran out of time. Would definitely like to return to explore more.
The cottage was clean and comfortable and we loved the tv in the bathroom a real novity.

This is a lovely quirky cottage with an upside down arrangement - bedrooms on the ground floor sitting room upstairs. Its located in the centre of Dunster village - a minutes walk from the historic yarn market . Our daughters loved all the gadgets - Okay Google, Nespresso machine and incredible quality TV and we all enjoyed the comfort and warmth. The kitchen was very well equipped and the cottage has a very fine formal dining area. Our hosts also provided a lovely welcome hamper which was unexpected and very generous.

What an amazing find!! I have stayed in many holiday cottages and villas over the years and this one was by far the nicest. Well equipped, beautifully decorated, attention to detail above and beyond.
We arrived Halloween evening and the cottage had been decorated, treats left out for us to give out to any children who called or a note to put on the door (complete with blue tack) if we preferred not to answer the door.
The welcome pack was gratefully received and a very thoughtful touch.
My daughter is study at college in Minehead and we will definitely book again next time we visit. Dunster is beautiful with pubs and tea rooms aplenty while Minehead and the local beaches were in easy reach.
Thank you

Everything about this cottage is superb. It really felt like home as soon as we walked through the door. Everything had been thought of and the selection of goodies was a great surprise. We were celebrating a family birthday and the space and ambience made it very special. The location was perfect for going into Dunster and we really enjoyed spending time in the town exploring. We did an Exmoor safari which collected us from the car park 2 minutes walk away. We would strongly recommend this lovely cottage and will be back.

This cottage is very well equipped with lovely furniture and decor and within 2 minutes walk of all the shops and pubs in Dunster and the Castle is a short walk/drive away. The private parking is great and a necessity as Dunster is very difficult to park in.
The Lutterell Arms serves very good food and the roaring fire in the bar was lovely as the weather was cold on our visit in January. Great shops in the town, especially number 29 where the owner went above and beyond for us evening letting us use her phone to book lunch at the Lutterell!

This is our 4th stay at this delightful location.
Dunster is my ancestral home so have lots of family within the area. The cottage has been a wonderful place to stay and entertain. This weekend I'm staying with friends to do some Christmas shopping have a wonderful woodland walk in Conigar the woods behind the house and experience local cuisine at the Lutteral Arms opposite. The icing on the cakes this weekend is that we have woken up to snow. Dunster village with the castle as a back drop and Yarn market looks magical.

1 Grooms Cottage is in a good position in the village, with parking and is equiped to a very high and thoughtful standard. I would thoroughly recommend staying there. Value for money is good though I stayed for Dunster by Candlelight which carries an extra premium due to demand.

We need more stars! 5 is not enough for this beautiful cottage ideally located in the heart of Dunster, close to pubs, shopping, walking trails . The welcome basket provided by our hostess Melanie was more than generous as was her knowledge of the area. New restaurants , farmers markets, galleries , she has her ear to the ground when something she knows might interest us. The cottage was immaculate, the beds were extremely comfortable, showers delightful and cuddly warm. Parking was a real bonus in this lovely village. Outdoor seating allowed us to grab a bit of sun, read a book or just people watch. Melanie just made everything work for us, a tailor made holiday!
