The Yarn Market Hotel is situated in the picturesque medieval village of Dunster in Exmoor National Park. Be transported back in time with cobbled streets and the historic Yarn Market and Dunster Castle and Gardens. There is a 14th century Tithe Barn and Dovecote, a working Water Mill and a very beautiful Parish Church.
The hotel has 28 en-suite bedrooms, and 2 restaurants. The menu carries a range of dishes, and special diets can be catered for with advance notice.
Groups can have their own function room for their activities such as quizzes, games, jigsaws or a good old fashioned beetle drive!
There is a large car park nearby which is free of charge for all coaches. The hotel can also provide a courier guide for Exmoor tours and has devised it’s own recommended “Exmoor Safari” route for coaches. For smaller groups transport is available to assist with walks or outings to local attractions and itineraries can be arranged to help you enjoy the best of what the area can offer.
The hotel also offers special themed breaks during the year on many different subjects, including stargazing in Exmoor’s Dark Skies Reserve, choral singing, jazz music, a local churches tour, walking on Exmoor or the South West Coast Path, folk dancing with a live band, garden tours and much more. These are scheduled on set dates for individuals, but can be run for groups at other times with prior arrangement. Whatever your group’s interest the hotel team can help plan an itinerary.
Local Attractions
There are many varied places to visit. Dunster Castle and Gardens is at the end of the street from the hotel.
