Locks Victorian Tea Rooms

Locks Victorian Tea Rooms is a classic tearoom in the heart of Dunster village, close to the castle approach and the medieval high street. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can settle in together for tea, cake or a proper meal without leaving anyone on the pavement. The Victorian setting gives the visit a bit of occasion and the indoor seating means you're not scrambling for outdoor tables when the weather turns.

Open daily from 10am to 5pm, it's well placed for a break during castle visits or village wandering. Dog biscuits have been mentioned in reviews, though it's always worth asking on the day.

Dunster is one of those villages where nearly every door, cobble and archway deserves a sniff, so a dog-friendly tea room in the centre makes planning much easier. Whether you're warming up after the castle grounds or refuelling before the coastal path, this is a reliable spot to pause with the whole group.
