The hot chocolate with real flakes was a treat. Their barista coffee is solid, but the chocolate drink stole the show for me.

Lovely spot to bring the dog. The daily changing menu is a nice touch, but the portions felt a bit small for the price.

Decent coffee, not too pricey. Grabbed a breakfast roll after parking at the wharf. The portion was just right for the price, actually. Good spot for a quick bite.

Stayed overnight, the room was clean and warm. The bed was super comfy, got a great night&#39;s sleep. It&#39;s basic, but honestly, for the price I paid, it had everything I needed. Can&#39;t complain.

The roast dinner is the star. The beef was tender, the potatoes crispy, and the gravy had that proper homemade depth. Everything tasted cooked just right. Good value for the quality.

Nice spot. The bathroom walls are covered in jokes, which was a fun touch.

A proper family-run spot, feels like someone&#39;s home. The staff are lovely and chatty. I saw a mix of locals grabbing a quick bite and tourists with maps out. Really nice vibe for a relaxed lunch.

A real gem of a delicatessen. The garlic chutney is fantastic. Angela on the floor was so helpful, she suggested a lovely Spanish red that worked perfectly with the cured meats I picked out. A bit of a wait at the counter, but worth it for the quality.

Popped in for a coffee. Owners are lovely, you can tell they really care about where their beans come from. The place just feels nice and warm. ☕️

Stopped in for the veggie English breakfast. The space is really bright and airy, with big windows. Makes for a nice, relaxed spot to start the day. The breakfast itself was hearty and fresh.

Popped in for a late lunch. The chips were spot on - crispy outside, fluffy inside. Coffee was a proper strong brew. Staff were friendly and quick. Prices felt fair for what you get.

The rustic decor is lovely, and they have a great selection of local wines by the glass. A very relaxed spot for a long lunch.

The food here is always solid, never disappoints. Had the grilled salmon again last night, cooked just right.

Been here a few times for events. The private room upstairs is perfect for a small group, and the view is just as good every time.

Been meaning to try this place for ages. The drinks list is impressive &ndash; had a lovely Malbec that paired perfectly with the steak. Service was spot on. A bit on the pricier side, but we&#39;ll definitely be back.

Been coming here for years. Always find a good local ale to enjoy in the garden after the beach.

Popped in for a pint after walking around Dunster Castle. The fish and chips were solid&mdash;crispy batter, decent portion. Just what you want in a village pub.

The staff were so lovely with my daughter, even tweaked her meal a bit. Just really nice people. The fish and chips are top-notch, too.

The flat white was spot on, and I love that they have matcha too. The space itself is really nice - high ceilings, lots of natural light, and comfy chairs you can sink into for a while.

Great spot right on the harbour. The staff were lovely, and the wine list had a nice local option that went perfectly with the view.

A proper family-run place, the owners are so lovely. The pasta tasted just like my nonna used to make &ndash; you can really feel the care in it. That kind of homely vibe is rare these days.

Been here a few times for breakfast. Their full English is solid, generous portions. The veggie option is decent too. Nice to sit outside when it&#39;s sunny, and they don&#39;t mind dogs.

The beef carvery was incredible, honestly. The owner and staff were so lovely and had a great sense of humour. They really went out of their way to make sure we were looked after.

Easy parking. Farm shop&#39;s well stocked. Butchers know their stuff. Got some fresh cut bacon and a granary loaf. That combo was the highlight. Simple but spot on.

The mushrooms on toast were gorgeous - super fresh, with a nice mix of herbs. The dark hot chocolate was rich but not too sweet, just how I like it. A really solid brunch spot.

A proper local&#39;s spot. The full English breakfast was hearty, eggs cooked just right. That warm, friendly atmosphere is the main thing for me. Felt like a proper neighbourhood place.

Service was spot on. Quick, friendly, and the waiter had a bit of cheeky banter that made us laugh. Felt relaxed the whole time.
