We stayed at the Dunster Castle Hotel over Christmas and had a wonderful time. The dining room was beautifully decorated, the food very good and the staff worked very hard, especially Chantel. Our room was lovely and one of the best things for me - no banging doors. We will definitely go back. More

Looks great on the outside. Try staying there. Rooms small .Staff not very welcoming Of course this was a busy weekend - busiest of the year so try not treating us all as if we are football hooligans. Plastic glasses in a hotel. Food - long delays, and a great looking menu - doesn't make the grade Friends stayed there... More

Please produce evidence for you or your friends stay and restaurant bill for candlelight and would be happy to reimburse. All guests were phoned on the Monday after candlelight to check on... More
