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.

Couldn't have wished for more!

Perfect property .Beautifully presented, well stocked and very, very comfortable . Situation was perfect for exploring Exmoor. Dunster is a beautiful Medieval Village with a wealth of Bridleways and super walks right on the doorstep.Dunster Castle looks magical against the skyline. Also, the sea just 10 minutes drive away . We were made most welcome during our three week stay and great communications with the owner. The icing on the cake was the Magnificent Hamper to greet us on our arrival . We will definitely be returning and would highly recommend Grooms Cottage to all .

An absolute gem of a place in a great location

The cottage is very well appointed and to a very high standard. It is perfectly located to explore the area by car and the village of Dunster by foot. Fantastic hiking on the doorstep, and a couple of nice hotels/pubs and restaurants in the village. Loved our stay there and would certainly return. The lovely welcome pack and note was a very nice touch. Excellent property.
