January 2, 2012We loved the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to help. Food was excellent. Loved the rambling nature of the building(I think it's taken over three former houses which makes it quicker sometimes to go out of one front door and into another one to reach an adjacent room. Some people may find this a nuisance; for me it added to the charm of the place.We also loved the position, right by the Yarn Market. We were made to feel very welcome and immediately felt at home there. That is very important for me as a hotel guest. We were even met by a member of staff who came out to greet us as we were getting out of the car!

October 31, 2011Bedroom was exceedingly comfortable and spacious and spotlessly clean. A warm welcome and they were very accomodating of our need to leave early and provided breakfast for us. Location was lovely in a very picturesque village and if you don't eat in the hotel there are tons of other places to try. I would definatley go again :)
Nothing much - a very minor thing, it would be have been good if the bathroom fan went off quicker as it was quite noisy and stayed on for quite a while, ok during the day a bit noisy at night

October 17, 2011Lovely setting. Clean comfortable room, clean modern bathroom. Wished I was staying longer to make the best of it.
The breakfast was extremely disappointing. Tea was weak, bacon was tough as anything, eggs were swimming in fat, sausages were ordinary.

September 28, 2011I enjoyed the breakfast, the selection of food was good. Three of us shared a family room which was a fair size for the three of us. I liked how quiet the hotel was, day and night.
The beds were very uncomfortable, with springs sticking out of the matress. The bath had an attached shower hose, which was hard to attach, due to the wobbly taps. The toilet seat was at an angle and the toilet roll holder fell off into many bits on many occasions. The water run out after 2 shallow baths, and the staff were not very accomodating when we asked to use another bath, as we were rushing to get to a wedding and simply had to use water!

August 22, 2011The location is superb. you are never far away from the sea or other towns and locations. Good breakfast and nice comfortable breakfast eating area.
The two day free parking ticket is a bit annoying if you can't find a space when it has expired but you can get a replacement if you ask. Only a minor problem though.

August 9, 2011I stayed with 2 friends in the family room for 2 nights when we attended a wedding at the Tithe Barn in Dunster. The greeting at reception was very welcoming, with good explanation about the parking areas nearby. If you aren't lucky enough to grab one directly outside there are spaces only a short walk away. The hotel, clearly in an old/period property, was well maintained. Decor slightly dated but totally acceptable given the type of property. We were extrememly impressed with the cleanliness of our room (the bathroom was immaculate!) and the breakfast/dining area. The young girls in the breakfast area were very polite, friendly and attentive. The buffet breakfast had a great choice. The room had a thorough guide/info book/directory. Overall we were very pleased that we booked Yarn Market Hotel and should I need to visit the area again I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again.

June 25, 2011This was a trip down memory lane since my wife spent a lot of her early life in this part of the world. It was very pleasant except for the rain. The castle was excellent. A good trip well worth the money.
The food was nothing to write home about. A medium steak should have some red meat at its centre

May 27, 2011The staff were very helpful and polite, the breakfasts were excellent. The bedrooms well decorated.
The bathroom had a notice, "shower attachments available, please find one hung on the back of the bathroom door" on the back of the bathroom door was a rubber hose about 4 feet long. Not the kind of facilities you expect when paying £50 per night per person. my husband is 70 and could not use the shallow bath, he would not have been able to get out of it.

October 5, 2011La posizione ottimale per visitare il borgo medioevale e le zone adiacenti Stanze silenziosissime, deliziose, ottima free wi-fi conn.Prima colazione tipicamente all' linglese, con piatti caldi e dolci con una scelta forse un pò ridotta.Gentile il personale alla reception che mi ha trovato un posto dove cenare anche alle 9,30 di un anonimo mercoledì.

August 14, 2011è un piccolo ma molto grazioso hotel, in questa cittadina della Cornovaglia, Dunster, ideale per una sosta durante un viaggio alla scoperta della regione; le stanze sono pulite, anche se qualcuna è più piccola, la prima colazione è ottima e, soprattutto, è un momento di relax all'inizio della giornata, e non una lotta per la sopravvivenza, come accade in alcuni hotel; consigliato per viaggi romantici, ma anche per famiglie con figli, come la mia, visto che Dunster ha un bel castello, ma tutta la Cornovaglia è ricca di posti stupendi, ricchi di storia, immersi in paesaggi da favola.

July 9, 2011Hotellet lå i en ren landsby idyl, med meget smukt lkandskab omkring. Fra Minehead var der meget smukke og lange gåture langs høje skrænter på Somersets vest kyst med kik over til Wales. Der var desuden mange gode spisesteder i Dunster. Der var også en del kvalitetsbutikker for turister landsbyen og et godt informationskontor for Exmoor National park., som hasr et areal svarende til Bornholm. Betjeningen var meget høflig og imødekommende
Der var ikke nogle desiderede dårlige punkter, Vores barnebarn var utilfreds med at der kun var badekar og ikke brusebad i hans badeværelse.

May 30, 2011Rustig. Prettige ligging midden in een dorp. Goed ontbijt. Veel gasten, maar we merkten er niets van wat betreft geluidsoverlast o.i.d.
Jammer dat er geen grotere badkamer was. Wij hadden twee kamers die verbonden waren, met maar één heel kleine badkamer met wc. Geen douche, wel ligbad.

etwas teuer, dies trifft für den ganzen Ort zu für Restaurants und Geschäfte, kostenloses Parken war für uns nicht möglich, muten die Pargebühren trotz Übernachtung im ort zahlen

Location, clean,
Awful breakfast, cardboard bacon, hard sausage, greasy egg, ketchup in bottles, little packet butter, waitress took plates whilst still eating, very old fashioned set up, not what you would expect from a hotel. Only a bath with plastic attachable hose, no shower. ,
