High House Reviews

Emily
We had an amazing week at High House! With 10 of us, from teens to seniors, everyone loved the comfy beds and spacious rooms. The house had loads of room inside and out. Dunster is such a charming village with fantastic spots to explore and dine. We're definitely planning to come back soon!
Alex
This place is fantastic! Loads of pubs and cafes nearby, making it easy to grab a drink or bite. The house is spacious but still feels cosy, perfect for big families like ours. Definitely a great spot to explore from. We'll be booking again, no doubt about it!
Luke
We found it perfectly located for leaving the car parked for a week! This is truly a great home in a lovely setting.
Faye
Beautiful old property with plenty to keep all guests happy with games rooms and gym or just sitting in the English country garden. Great location in that you are in Dunster for shops/restaurants and the castle, but also easy to get out on great walks. All the bedrooms are lovely especially the top floor suite. It would have been useful to have ins tructions/tips on how to use the Aga (although there is an alternative cooker) and known in advance that charcoal is needed for the electric bbq.
Matt
What a lovely house to welcome in New Year! We absolutely adored the house - it was truly incredible and so comfortable. The facilities were spot on. Dunster is also a brilliant place to be. We loved the Luttrell Arms and all the lovely walks around Dunster. Would highly recommend High House for a fantastic stay.
James
What a beautifully appointed property it is, with such a wonderfully warm homely atmosphere! The facilities were a really welcome addition, especially the hot tub - what a treat! It's also set within a lovely historic village.
Sarah
We had an excellent holiday in a perfectly located house! The garden was just idyllic and ideal for unwinding. Our boys had a blast in the games rooms too. The bedrooms are definitely the stars here - they're well appointed with really comfortable beds. The sports mad folks in the family absolutely loved the snug. The village is so delightful. We had drinks at the Luttrell Arms, everything from the Deli was lovelyand those scones from Locks tearoom were scrumptious!
Elaine
The host was super helpful! The house was absolutely beautiful and the location was just brilliant. Overall, we had a really nice experience.
Emma
