Reviews Summary

Cobblestones Dunster is consistently praised for its exceptionally friendly and attentive service, with staff going above and beyond to accommodate guests, including those with dietary restrictions. The 'humongous' scones are a standout, as is the charming medieval village setting. While the food is generally considered good value and plentiful, a few reviewers found it to be average with no 'wow factor'.

"The most attentive service ever!!

Pleasant friendly manner, with a very cheery smile.

The traditional full English included a drink as well as two slices of toast, a very hearty breakfast indeed!!

The atmosphere was equally pleasant also.

The price was extremely reasonable for the area.

Over all a very enjoyable experience"

Di Bell

"Popped in while visiting Dunster for a cream tea and so glad we did.

All of the staff were genuinely friendly, attentive, chatty and helpful. The service was quick and the food we had, excellent.

I had a lemon scone with lemon curd and my wife the fruit scone with jam. Both scones were huge and still warm when delivered to the table. Both soft and crumbly, the flavour was lovely and for me, the curd was amazing.

Tea was great and we were told to just shout for more hot water if we needed any.

The surroundings are cosy and the seating well spaced and comfortable.

Well worth a visit if you are in the area."

Brummie Storm

"We visited Dunster on Monday 14th April whilst on holiday and popped into The Cobblestones for lunch. After looking at the menu, I asked if I could just have a vegan cheese sandwich and some chips. We were served by a lovely lady who said if that's what I wanted then that's what I could have.

They were so accommodating and I didn't feel I was putting them out at all. And they weren't stingy on the vegan cheese!

We all enjoyed lunch, especially the chips which were lovely.

All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I think a few places up in the Midlands where we're from could use a few lessons in customer service from everyone here!"
