Yarn Market Hotel

Story

The Yarn Market in Dunster, Somerset, England was built in the early 17th century. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building and scheduled monument. Dunster was an important market place in the Middle Ages particularly following the construction of Dunster Castle and the establishment of the Priory Church of St George.The market cross was probably built in 1609 by the Luttrell family who were the local lords of the manor to maintain the importance of the village as a market, particularly for wool and cloth. It still bears the damage caused by cannon fire in the Civil War. Nearby was an older cross known as the Butter Cross which has subsequently been moved to the outskirts of the village. The Yarn Market is an octagonal building constructed around a central pier. The tiled roof provides shelter from the rain.HistoryDunster Castle stands on a site which has been fortified since the late Anglo-Saxon period, signifying the importance of the area. After the Norman conquest of England in the 11th century, William de Mohun constructed a timber castle on the site as part of the pacification of Somerset.

Anthony and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming. We were looked after wonderfully in this warm, atmospheric old hotel which provided a lovely home-from-home experience for us whilst our own home was uninhabitable due to burst pipes! I was so impressed by the food served up from the kitchen here; everything I had was delicious and cooked perfectly! Noteworthy details: Good hotel WiFi connection but don't rely on your mobile signal as it's very weak all across Dunster!
Helpful attentive staff, good food and comfortable room. I stayed here with a group of 12 for a week's walking with Ads Ventures. Quirky hotel where it's a challenge to find your way to your room. Nearby activities: Interesting village and easy access to some great scenery.
Lovely place,stayed 4 times now on stargazing weekends Beautiful location in village,close to wonderful walks and the coast. Feels like home from home,nothing too much trouble. Food is very good and no stinting there either.View from bedroom window. Rooms: Cosy rooms,well equipped, some served by a lift if stairs are difficult Nearby activities: Walking,sightseeing, great pubs,coast close enough to walk to. Food & drinks: Good food and certainly plentiful for even the heartiest appetite
This was a wonderful stay at the Yarn Market hotel. I recently stayed with my walking group, and we almost filled the hotel. The staff were fantastic. They seemed to get to know us all and learned lots of our prefereces. They were incredibly helpful, even after the holiday. My partner and I had a lovely room overlooking the old Yarn market building. I couldn't fault the food - an excellent and plentiful breakfast, and delicious choices for evening meal. I particularly enjoyed the fish in sauces, stewed apples from the hotel's own orchard, and a different lucious cheesecakes every evening. My partner enjoyed the warming pies, crumbles and strudels with custard. The area is beautiful, with walks right from the hotel. Anthony even drove a minibus to Porlock so we could walk on the coastal path back. We will definitely come back again. Thank you to everyone at the Yarn market hotel.
The Yarn Market Hotel in a relatively small hotel in the middle of Dunster village. It is therefore very convenient for local shops and attractions.. The management and staff are very friendly and customer focused and the food was good. My main criticism is that it is very difficult to park here and I found that if I retuned to the hotel before around 5pm every parking space in the village was taken. it was therefore not unusual to have to drive up and down the main street many times before parking became available. However Dunster Castle is in easy reach by foot and there is a very large car park just outside of the village that costs around £6 per day.
To begin with we were very disappointed with paying £80 per night each for a room in the annex of the hotel which seemed overpriced for the quality of the room. However breakfast an evening meal was included and compensated for the price as the food and location was brilliant Amazing staff who work hard to ensure you enjoy your stay. Aswell as making us feel very welcome it was an ideal place to stay with a dog, very dog friendly.
We did not stay here. We ate in the restaurant. This is a throw back to the 80s. We had to pre-book the food which presumably allowed it to be defrosted. I had ‘oven baked Cod.’ It wasn’t. It was a flat defrosted old fillet accompanied by flat anaemic veg. The food came out so quickly we barely had time to draw breath. Dismal, boring and over priced food. The staff are friendly making the best of a bad job. The dining room is like a care home for the elderly. A serious make over is in order. Tired
lovely hotel in a quiet charismatic little village. Beautiful scenery, and just a short journey into town. helpfull staff who are very knowlagable about the area, can help u plan your walks/days out. parking available a short walk away, and a good breakfast to start your day. We have returned here several times.
Staff extremely helpful - from telephone conversation re access etc as I cannot negotiate steps/stairs, I was given impression of no problem so was shocked upon arrival to find two quite deep steps up to the door, then several to small lift up one floor. However we got over it - my room was a small twin with en suite, nice. No telephone to contact reception and no mobile signal. For Wifi you have to find "a spot". Meals were delicious.
Cosy, individual rooms, but my room would have benefitted from some hanging space. Very nice food at dinner with good choices. Breakfast has good hot food, but would have liked more range of cold food. Staff friendly and helpful and good Covid protocols throughout.
