Booked our international corporate partners to stay here and joined them for dinner.
They were incredibly impressed!
We also notified them of allergens a month in advance and they went above and beyond to accomodate for us given the menu changed that evening.
Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly from the moment I went to book the hotel to the moment we left after Dinner.
The chef and kitchen staff make fantastic food and would highly reccomend eating here even if you choose not to stay.

If I could rate higher than 5 stars I would.

Lovely hotel. Rooms spacious and immaculate.
Only disappointment was the food. Menu was not really to our taste and when we did manage to find something suitable the cooking was not great. My comments about tough meat which I couldn't eat were acknowledged.
Otherwise great stay.

Everything to do with the Lutterell Arms Hotel was 5* The parking is a problem as the High Street parking was always full, but didn’t spoil our stay!

A unique ancient hotel yet so comfortable. Very popular, so busy, but the staff are so attentive and friendly. The only minus is parking which is difficult due to the whole area being ancient so do parking areas really. I thoroughly recommend it though.

A beautiful old building full of character and nooks and crannies. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. The village of Dunster is lovely with so much to discover close by.
The room that my husband and I stayed in was very stylish, large and clean. The only downside was that it was four flights of stairs up.
With us both in our 80's it was sometimes a bit of a struggle but given another week we may well have got used to it! I probably should have checked this when booking.

I would recommend the Luttrell Arms to anyone who has a love of history and the English countryside.

From the very warm welcome to the chatty farewell, everyone we encountered was super friendly and polite. The room was secure, clean and very comfortable. Excellent breakfast with a wide choice to suit everyone. Evening menu has a limited choice, but food good.
The hotel has all the old creaking charm you could want, with lots of nooks and crannies to tuck yourselves into for a drink. Cracking beer garden with a castle view.
Parking round the corner in the public car park unless you’re lucky enough to get one in the market square high street.
We loved every minute of our stay and hope to visit again in the autumn.

Charming hotel

Luttrell Arms is a charming hotel, full of character and we were made to feel so welcome by Julie on reception. Our room was amazing and very comfortable. Lovely gardens, perfect for a G&T in the late afternoon! We had dinner in the restaurant both evenings. Excellent food and a special mention to Gabor and Jules who both worked so hard. Already planning a return trip!

Excellent character property, with well trained and cheerful staff, good service and good food.
Only criticism would be small choice of vegetarian options and no Sunday vegetarian roast choice. Like others, we enjoy our Sunday lunch and were disappointed to have only a risotto or pasta dish offered. Why can’t a nut roast be offered as well

I really did like it at this hotel. The secret gardens were beautiful, breakfast was brilliant, bed was comfy. There was a couple of repairs which should really be seen to like the net in the bathroom had a long tear down the middle and had mould on it, also the wardrobe door wasn’t in its runner. However this didn’t affect my stay and I would most definitely stay here again.

Left an odd feeling ….

Hey it’s a good hotel, beautiful old building in the centre of the village. Ostensibly pleasing, but oddly the staff seemed very stressed. I was told at check in I should have informed the hotel I was doing the Ultra Challenge. Why?? The outdoor pizza in the evening was chaotic, waiting 55 mins then frankly it was stodgy. The bar staff didn’t know what they had behind the bar, for example didn’t know if they any bitter. All strange. Fabulous comfortable hotel but could be so much more relaxing if the staff were ‘on it’. Sad to say I wouldn’t go back.

Beautiful place to stay

Room was very comfortable and we appreciated the cold water and use of the fridge, fresh milk and tea/coffee facilities. Dinner was nice but the vegetarian options were a bit disappointing and expensive. The meat options were good but hardly any vegetables on the side.
The staff were friendly and professional

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, a few niggles

Pros: building is full of character, room was a good size, shower was powerful and hot, fridge and tea/coffee facilities in the room, staff were very welcoming and friendly, large portions in evening meals, lovely breakfast with combination of cold buffet and hot food to order. There’s no car park and limited free parking outside but the hotel will reimburse any parking costs you’ve paid.
Cons: room was hot but with the windows open there was quite a bit of noise from traffic and also people gathering outside the hotel, probably not an issue if your room is at the back. The rigatoni pasta was tasteless (I wish I’d seen the other review saying this before I ordered!), the other food we had was lovely. Some of the residents lounge seating areas were not comfortable for eating a meal (sofas/armchairs) and service in the bar was not as good as in the restaurant.
Overall a lovely stay in a beautiful hotel.

A lovely place to stay. Oozes history and the smell of log fires. Only one criticism regarding the menu. It wouldn't apply to most people but very limited if you're a plant based eater. The staff,however, went out of their way to be helpful.

Great stay lovely food, staff very friendly. Only gripe we had was the sharing of the toilets down stairs. I got a shock when what I thought was the ladies loo was in fact unisex as there was a man coming out of the other cubicle tucking his bits away. Maybe if a sign was on the door saying unisex it wouldn’t have been such a shock..

Comfortable hotel in lovely town and area

Very enjoyable stay. Lovely room with 4 poster bed and high vaulted ceiling. Some dishes not quite as described on the menu. Some restaurant staff very young and still learning. Parking not easy but hotel will reimburse car park charges if necessary. Dunster is a super place to stay and explore for a few days.

Walking holiday in Dunster

Our stay here was excellent throughout.Room was clean and very comfortable.Staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly.We ate in the hotel on a couple of nights and the food was very good,as was breakfast.We had our dog with us and the hotel is very dog friendly, even providing a sausage at breakfast for him.Also a gate from the delightful garden into the National Trust land was a bonus for morning and evening walks.The bar is a proper bar rather than a characterless one like many hotels have. We are looking forward tour next visit.

Really comfortable in an amazing room, and all the Covid arrangements effective and not obtrusive. Superb food with very efficient service and generous portions - you do not leave hungry! Very flexible team; eg we had a warm sunny day in mid October so they opened the garden area at short notice.
