Great in every way

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.
4.8
A fantastic cottage, decorated and equipped to a high standard. Beds extremely comfortable too! Great location, with easy access to Dunster amenities and great walks (didn’t need to use the car at all whilst we were there which was a real bonus). Welcome goodies much appreciated and provided us with all the essentials and more. Will definitely look to stay here again.

Beautiful cottage with parking. Everything you need for a break for a family. Property well laid out and modern.

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.

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.
