About The Luttrell Arms Hotel

Dunster is one of Somerset's best kept secrets set between Exmoor National Park and The Bristol Channel. The village skyline is dominated by the castle standing on a hill that rises 85 metres above the sea.

The home of the Luttrell family over 600 years it is now a National Trust property. The medieval village is a time capsule waiting to be discovered with many interesting buildings and history on every corner.

There is even a steam railway to make sure the 21st century is left well and truly behind. Bristol Airport is approximately 79 km from the hotel. The historical hotel was built in 1400 and offers 25 rooms.

Guests are welcomed in the lobby, which offers a 24-hour reception and a 24-hour check-out service. There is a bar and a restaurant, and guests will appreciate the conference facilities and room service.

Really old place steeped in history but spotlessly clean with mod cons. Friendly staff, all with warm welcomes from reception, bar, restaurant, breakfast and housekeeping - a credit to the hotel. We had a Finest double room with private courtyard garden, comfy armchairs, double wardrobe, huge bathroom and quality linen and towels. Lots of small bar areas keeping it cosy and quirky. Parking is an issue because of it's great location in the heart of this medieval village and being a 15th century building, no doubt the horse and carriage back in the day had no problems! But we managed to park a100 yards down the road in the public car park with reasonable charges. There is free parking in the High Street if you can get a space, but we where there over the Bank Holiday weekend, so it was very busy. Dunster castle is walkable as is Dunster station on the West Somerset Railway Heritage line. Wonderful birthday weekend!

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.

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 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.

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..

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.
