The region
Dunster is a medieval village on the edge of Exmoor National Park in West Somerset, dominated by its magnificent castle perched on a wooded hilltop above the High Street.
Often described as one of the most intact medieval villages in England, Dunster has a rich history stretching back over a thousand years. The iconic octagonal Yarn Market, built in the early 1600s, sits at the heart of the village -- a reminder of its prosperous wool-trading past. The broad High Street is lined with independent shops, galleries, tea rooms, and characterful pubs, many housed in listed buildings dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.
The village has its own Post Office with a cash machine, a deli, and a good range of places to eat and drink. For larger supermarkets, banks, and petrol stations, the coastal town of Minehead is just 1.5 miles away -- Tesco and Morrisons are both on the outskirts with long opening hours. Most shops in Dunster keep traditional hours of 9am to 5pm, often extending in summer.
Dunster hosts a lively programme of events throughout the year, including the Dunster Show, Dunster Country Fair, and the much-loved Winter Festival in early December when the village is lit by candlelight with music, dancing, and medieval re-enactments in the streets.
The cottage features a balcony and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a microwave, and a dishwasher.

Lovely location
The initial kerb appeal was not great with cobwebs on metal railings and around front door. A good sweep was also needed. However, once in the property is was much better. The owner has provided most items to ensure a comfortable stay although the bedding, once good quality, was rather thin and well worn. The on-suite still has loose items but is perfectly usable. The property is situated in a great location to visit the area and is lovely and spacious.

Beautiful house in fun little town
This house was an awesome stay. The layout is spacious for up to 3 couples (we had 2) and room to sit and visit. The town of Dunster is fun with shops and good food choices. The home is well taken care of and even though it is on the street, the car noise was not a problem. We really enjoyed our stay here.

Delightful cottage in central location in the village.
Very comfortable with everything we could want and when there was a slight maintenance issue, this was sorted right away. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful home from home
Grooms cottage is gorgeous, quaint and has everything needed, fully equipped kitchen, beds are great (not too soft and not solid), showers are great with hot water and powerful enough to have a lovely shower. I could actually live in this property. The castle here is a must to go to along with the water mill, luttrell is a great place to eat but recommend booking beforehand.
