“A classic English Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed for one night in Dunster and chance booked on the reccomendation of the gentleman in the village store. We arrived at 3pm and the inn had closed following lunch. But was welcomed and shown the rooms. They were beautifully adorned with all the extras you would expect from a 4 star hotel and the character and cleanliness of the place is fantastic. They were very casual when we realised we had brought dirt in on the light carpets.

The evening meal was great, the inn and restaurant being small and intimate. Although not very busy our waitress was attentive and pleasent. You could tell from the menu that all the meals were homemade. That may sound a daft thing to say but so many pubs rely on frozen pre produced items nowadays but still charge full prices. We were not sold short by any means. We played dominoes by the bar, but retired early as the room was so comfortable!

The breakfast display in the morning had fantastic variety. We were a little embarrassed to realise we were the only ones staying that night so the whole display was put out for us!

The end bill was less than I expected for the standard of the place. Im not sure if the tarrif is lower in January but we were pleasantly surprised.

“Great place to stay”

I would thoroughly recommend this Inn. We had a lovely stay. The rooms are spotless with lots of little extra touches. The breakfast was also excellent and the owners friendly and helpful.We stayed at The Stags Head to attend a wedding locally. Our accommodation, welcome and overall experience was a lot better than many of our friends received at a nearby, more expensive Hotel. I would definitely stay here again.

“Gorgeous Room in a lovely Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

We had the pleasure of staying at the Stags Head Inn in October.
We had room number 3 which was beautiful and had loads of finishing touches and a seriously big and comfortable bed! The room was also very clean, not even a spot of dust!
The staff and owners were really friendly and were eager to help.
We ate in on the Friday night and the food was great and homemade whilst reasonably prices. Once again, the staff were very friendly.
Breakfast was great and there was lots to choose from. It set us up well for a trip to the Castle which we loved, a must see!
Lynton and Lynouth are definitely worth a visit. It is a beautiful drive to get there is lots to look at. Don’t forget a trip on the Cliff Railway!
My only comment would be, as you are staying in a busy local Inn, expect a bit of noise in the evenings. We wanted somewhere with character so this was not a problem at all.
Overall we really loved this Inn and would definitely recommend and return ourselves and it is great value.
Thanks for a lovely stay.

Room Tip: Room 3 is (I believe) the biggest. Really lovely room.
