What our customers say about their holidays

  Castle View Cottage was a lovely apartment in which to spend our family holiday; it was very homely and well appointed, and the landlord Susan could not have been more welcoming and helpful.

  Dunster is a lovely location, the castle and grounds are stunning as is the village itself. There is not a huge range of restaurants, the Luttrell Arms Hotel is lovely but quite expensive, the food at the Stags Head was hit and miss, and expensive for what it was. The big issue for us was the church bells, these seem to go on throughout the night, and being so close became a real problem, as my wife and I and our daughter were regularly woken in the middle of the night, or on some occasions kept awake for what felt like hours. The bells seem to play at 15 minute intervals, midnight seems to require a long discordant tune, then every 15 minutes is struck until at 01:00 there is another protracted chiming, on our last night we couldn’t decide if it was Oranges and Lemons, or something similar. At 05:00 every morning we were as a family woken by the bells playing out for several minutes, needless to say this wasn’t welcomed. We live in a village with a church so are used to church bells, but the church at Dunster is on another level entirely. Several shop keepers asked us how we felt about them, so they are clearly a talking point.

  Barn Cottage is superb. It is very spacious, extremely comfortable and quite possibly the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in. The outdoor space is perfect for those of us who have a dog. Such a great idea to have a patio rather than grass. The welcome pack was much appreciated. .... Barn Cottage is superb.

Such a great idea to have a patio rather than grass. The welcome pack was much appreciated. The location was another huge plus. It is very close to the town and the beach but also for hikers like us, North Hill is accessible on foot. My daughter and I were to hike up to North Hill with our dog, follow the South-West Coast Path then descend to Bratton before following the Bratton stream to the cottage. Bobbie, our German Shepherd/Belgian Malanois rescue was able to be off lead for well over two of the three hour route. We will almost certainly book it again in the future.

  We really loved our stay at Castle View holiday cottage.

  I visited along with my partner and two young girls, the cottage was so well equipped with everything we needed for our youngest including highchair, cot and stairgate and it made our stay so easy and comfortable. Susan was also really helpful and let us know she was available anytime we needed, she even went out of her way to post two toys our girls had left at the cottage back to our home. It's a truly stunning area of England with so much in walking distance or a short drive, the castle in Dunster was such a good day out and the village itself was delightful even with its own playground, great for breaking up the day with littlies. We would 100% recommend staying here to anyone and will hopefully be back in future :) P.S a note on the bells - we personally enjoyed them, they are a very unusual and quirky part of the stay, we a game of guessing what king of song it would play on each day and enjoyed listening to the different tunes. I honestly didn't notice them whilst sleeping beyond the first night but if you are particularly sensitive or uptight just maybe bring some earplugs...
