This country house is in such a beautiful setting in a charming village close to Dunster, Porlock and Minehead. The house is stunning with fantastic views and it is so peaceful and quiet - perfect for a relaxing stay. My friend and I stayed in a twin bedded suite on the ground floor, it was absolutely immaculate, very spacious and the beds were super comfortable. Andy and Tanya, the hosts are so warm and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble, they will go out of their way to ensure guests have an enjoyable stay. The breakfast choice is amazing with all dietary requirements carefully provided for (I am gluten free and my friend is vegetarian!) The food is cooked and presented to absolute perfection and there was no need for lunch as we were way too full! We visited all the local sites including Porlock, Dunster Castle and village, Minehead, Allerford, Bossington and the wonderful Periwinkle Cottage Tea Rooms in Selworthy. We drove right up on to Exmoor National Park to enjoy the views and see the wild ponies and my friend enjoyed a wonderful 2 hour horse-ride at Pine Lodge, a local riding stables. Dunkery Beacon Country House is a gem of a place and you will not be disappointed. We enjoyed such a wonderfully relaxing stay and we will definitely return!
