Pebble Cottage deserves a 4 star rating great cottage, nicely presented and upstairs a 5 star rating however all this is let down by others, “doggy people” who have no consideration for the well being of the next persons staying in this wonderful holiday cottage. The stench of dogs when entering the downstairs lounge/dining/kitchen areas was ….. Had to open the garden doors as loads of flies in the room also trying to alleviate the problem with the smell only to have more flies fly back in, all being attracted to the outside tiled areas smelling of dog urine and a wheelie bin stinking of dog excrement. Moved the bin up by the seating area, making this a no go area for any seating or al fresco dining during our stay. Bought bottles of room scent for downstairs nauseating but better than the other. I expect the comeback will be, “what do expect from a dog friendly holiday let, certainly not this and why would you, What I do expect, as other guests renting, deserve to be able to relax and unwind all in a holiday mode leaving with a positive attitude and sharing their experience with others and obviously a plus for Dunster’s tourism.

Perfect location, nice and quiet and an easy base to explore Dunster and its walks. Plenty of space for our family of four.
