Location & Setting

Dunster Mill House sits on the banks of the River Avill, 400 metres from Dunster Castle and the castle's working watermill. The property is housed in a historic building that shares grounds with the mill, offering direct access to the mill stream and gardens. Guest rooms overlook the river and the hills of Exmoor National Park, with the village centre and West Somerset Steam Railway both within a 10-minute walk.

Accommodations & Amenities

The hotel offers four well-appointed bedrooms, each with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV, and DVD player. Rooms include either a deluxe king, luxury king, superior king, or twin configuration with private external bathroom. Guests have access to a shared lounge with a TV area, outdoor terrace furniture, and complimentary items such as fresh milk and individualized beverage trays replenished daily.

Dining

Breakfast is pre-ordered the night before and cooked fresh each morning using quality ingredients, with a choice of cooked dishes, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. On arrival, guests are offered tea and cake in the lounge. The property does not have a restaurant, but the village pubs and the National Trust tea room opposite provide evening meals and lunches.

Pet-Friendly & Personal Touches

The hotel is pet-friendly and has a resident cat named Eric who welcomes guests in the lounge. The hosts provide personalized recommendations for local attractions, dining, and outdoor exploration. Complimentary parking is available on-site after 5:30pm, with additional pay-and-display parking a 200-metre walk away.

Nearby Attractions & Activities

Dunster Castle and its gardens are accessible via a short walk from the hotel, along with the historic watermill.
