The Luttrell Arms Hotel

The Luttrell Arms Hotel, located on Dunster High Street, dates from the late 15th century to early 16th century, with alterations made in the 17th and 18th centuries. The building is constructed of rubble and features slate roofs. The main section is three storeys high and includes a central two-storey gabled porch. It has a moulded wood eaves cornice and stone end stacks. There are three sash windows with glazing bars and flush frames, with outer windows paired. The ground floor and first floor retain their original drip-moulds.

The porch features a moulded four-centred stone framed outer opening with a drip-mould, and a pointed-arch inner opening with carved spandrels. The upper floor has leaded casements with moulded stone mullions and drip-moulds on the front and sides. There are cross loop openings on each side of the ground floor, and above the outer door opening is a carved stone heraldic achievement, with moulded stone coping and a saddle stone on the gable.

To the left of the main building is a three-storey, four-window lower height wing that curves around to a two-storey, three-window return wing, which includes a single-storey outbuilding. The windows are sashes with glazing bars and flat heads, featuring stepped voussoirs on the return wings. There is a wide elliptical head opening on the ground floor of the three-storey wing, and a later single-storey one-window addition to the right of the main frontage.

A rearward wing of the main block was once the hall, and its inward-facing exterior has fine carved oak window framing that extends through both floors, featuring cusping on the window lights and iron saddle bars and stanchions. Inside, the ground floor includes a four-centred stone door frame, a stop-moulded oak door frame, an open fireplace, heavy moulded oak ceiling beams, and exposed rafters. The room above has an open timber roof with moulded arch braces and purlins, along with curved wind braces. Other notable interior features include a 17th-century plaster ceiling in a downstairs room and a plaster overmantel in a bedroom.
