Not quite as good as expected.
Great location. Well equipped cottage, but not as cosy and comfortable as we expected. We felt it was a little under maintained and tired. In need of some TLC.
Although the kitchen was well equipped, many thing’s didn’t match, some of the pans and crockery needed replacing.
Very dark and drab.

Great little cozy cottage in the heart of Dunster Village
The booking and communication with the agent was easy and comprehensive. The cottage has everything you need and was clean and welcoming. Its location is ideal for local walks and is very close to pubs and restaurants.
The only issue is parking. There is very little parking nearby but there are car oarks close by that we had to use.
