Yarn Market Hotel - A 3-star medieval village hotel with Exmoor National Park access and themed activity breaks

Set in the center of Dunster's medieval village within Exmoor National Park, Yarn Market Hotel offers garden-view rooms with flat-screen TVs, electric kettles, and free toiletries. The hotel organizes themed breaks, including stargazing weekends in Exmoor's Dark Skies Reserve, guided coastal walks, and jazz performances by John Shillito's Riviera Ramblers. Dunster Castle and the historic Yarn Market building stand within 500 meters, while the West Somerset Railway's steam trains stop nearby. The Yarn Market Restaurant serves locally sourced dishes, and dog-friendly rooms are available with prior arrangement for pet amenities. Assistance with transport is provided via the hotel minibus for local excursions.

Pros

The hotel is centrally located in Dunster, within walking distance of Dunster Castle and the Yarn Market.

Themed activity breaks include stargazing, guided walks, and live jazz performances.

Dog-friendly rooms with provided beds and towels are available.

Cons

The village's medieval layout may limit parking convenience.

Some rooms overlook garden areas rather than historic landmarks.

“The hotel sits right on Dunster's high street, a prime spot for exploring both the village and the castle. I appreciate that they offer well-prepared meals, and it appears to be a particularly good value when compared to other local options. Overall, it seems like a solid choice for a stay in Dunster.”
