Overall clean and nicely decorated place, delicious breakfast with lots of options. Local area, magnificent location, right by the centre of a beautiful medieval village, Dunster Castle which is National Trust owned and well worth a visit and a restaurant whose decor was an amazing blend of old & new. Besides, very convenient to St Johns Market.
