Yarn Market Hotel

Very comfortable with excellent food. Good size bedroom and shower room and both very clean. A little dated but that adds to its charm. Helpful staff. Beautiful setting. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Plenty to do in the area and the coast easily accessible.

Went with a walking group for a long weekend. Lovely cosy hotel with friendly helpful staff and absolutely fabulous food. Excellent value for money. We will be returning and recommending Yarn Market Hotel to all our friends and walking groups.

We visited as part of a walking group holiday and this hotel was an ideal venue - not too formal and well-suited to our needs. Accommodation was clean and comfortable and the quality and variety of food was excellent. As well as the well-prepared breakfasts and dinners, we had the option of purchasing packed lunches, which were ready and waiting for us each morning. No one minded a slightly chaotic (at times!) group of older people, complete with walking boots and poles, invading the property! But what really made this hotel a place to remember was the quality of the staff. Nothing was too much for them. When we had a small plumbing issue in our bathroom, that was dealt with swiftly and professionally. Above all, every single member of staff was helpful and friendly and very quickly built up relationships with their customers. We would give them 5 stars and more for their service. In fact, our group was so impressed by the hotel that we have rebooked for next year. Thank you, all the staff at the Yarn Market, for helping to make our holiday an enjoyable success!

We stayed at the Yarn Market hotel in Dunster for 6 nights while walking the nearby Coleridge Way that crosses the Quantock Hills and Exmoor. The location is a very historic village with a medieval castle and many original houses, beautifully preserved. The hotel itself is very homely, clean and comfortable – large rooms, good showers, and everything worked. There was always a choice of 4 dishes for each course of the dinner in the evening, which was good quality pub-style comfort food without being too heavy or rich. For us we really enjoyed the fact that the owner and all the staff team were so welcoming and such a contrast from the anonymous hotels where you are simply a line on a spreadsheet – here the welcome was totally genuine and we felt that our holiday experience really mattered to them. All the staff team went out of their way to ask about our day and to be helpful by giving tips and local information. For local walks (including sections of the SW Coastal Path & the Coleridge Way) the hotel is very well situated and the owner offers a service whereby he accompanies your car so you can leave it at the end point of the day’s walk, then takes you on to your start point. This is ideal so you don’t have to unpack / repack to move on each day, and you can take your time exploring the locations as fully as you wish. During these transfers he kindly added in extra visits en-route to places we would not have visited on the walks themselves. All in all this was a great holiday with walks through stunning Somerset and Devon villages, made special by the care and hospitality of the hotel.

Welcoming and friendly. Rooms well equipped with tea coffee etc. Very clean and comfy beds. Very good breakfast. I would definitely recommend this hotel in a beautiful Dunster and also a great base for exploring the area.

I returned to this lovely hotel with the coach company I came with previously. Everything was still as great, no problems at all. Staff & food still amazing & room spotless & perfectly maintained. Such a lovely central spot in the village. Only thing was trip was just for 2 nights!
