We had a wonderful few days at Ruffles cottage so cosy and comfortable. The cottage is clean and very well equipped and great walks from the door. We also loved being able to walk into the village and to the pub for dinner. Our dogs loved it too. Thank you for a great stay!

Lovely cosy little cottage in a beautiful location! The kitchen was well equipped (we knocked up a roast dinner for four) and the beds are super comfy! Pretty views across the churchyard and plenty of dog walks straight from the door. We LOVED the woodburner. Great value for money, will be back!

Nice cosy cottage. Very quiet (the church bells were absolutely no issue for us)! Stags inn has great food, 2 minutes walk away. No local convenience shops, so remember to buy the essentials before you get there if arriving later like us.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely little cottage. Small but perfectly formed, it had everything we could wish for, including a very comfortable bed. It was a fabulous location with just a few minutes walk to the castle or the high street where we were able to enjoy the magic of Dunster by Candlelight. The communication from the hosts has been great and they have been very helpful. I would highly recommend Ruffles Cottage

Lovely cottage, parked up and didn't need to use the car for 4 days. So many walks close by. Would recommend the secret garden on the lutteral arms on a sunny day. Location of cottage is amazing, it's about as central to Dunster as you can get. My wife, 2 boys (12 and 14) had an awesome stay.

Great little cozy cottage in the heart of Dunster Village

The booking and communication with the agent was easy and comprehensive. The cottage has everything you need and was clean and welcoming. Its location is ideal for local walks and is very close to pubs and restaurants. The only issue is parking. There is very little parking nearby but there are car oarks close by that we had to use.

Beautiful location backing on to the church in the lovely village of Dunster. The cottage is fine for 2 people - small, lived in, but cosy. Well equipped kitchen. Great to have a bath as well as a shower. Street parking outside only.

Dunster is an excellent location for walking, with a choice of Exmoor, Forestry Commission land and the coast path. You can pick up some of these paths direct from the village. There are lots of National Trust Houses and other places of interest nearby. Ruffles is a welcoming cottage on a quiet road within minutes of Dunster high street.

A well equipped, traditional little cottage. Mostly I could park on the narrow lane outside, once had to park by the church so no major hardship. Easy walk into the village to visit the lovely tearooms, and a short drive to convenience stores etc.

Cottage was lovely and clean. 2 minute walk onto the high street. Close to all amenities. Kitchen well stocked. Didn't use the shared garden, but courtyard is very small, wasn't suitable for our dog, but could be for others.

Stunning location, walks straight from the door. Cottage was spotless, such a treat to not have to worry if kitchen implements needed rewatching. Everything used felt new. Traditional decor but fits with the cottage. Church bells took a bit of getting used to .

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in authentic nineteenth century Ruffles Cottage. It is in a very quiet side street with wonderful views over the churchyard from the rear bedroom, a perfect location if you enjoy the sound of church bells. Wonderful walks and everything Dunster has to offer is right on the doorstep. Although there is no assigned parking, we had no problems finding a space within 1 mins walk in spite of it being school summer holidays. Rear courtyard is cosy but a lovely spot to sit for breakfast. Having the adjacent secure storage for our two bikes and tow bar rack was really handy. Thank you.
