We had a wonderful overnight stay at the Old House at the start of the Coleridge trail. It is a lovely house and we stayed in Sarah's room which was very comfortable with an en suite bathroom. The breakfast was excellent, very tasty and one of the best breakfasts we had on the trail. I would be happy to recommend this guesthouse to other potential guests.

The rooms are lovely and spacious! Really nice to have a private entrance! From the second of arriving the staff were helpful, friendly and very accommodating. We went to the Cottage Inn for an evening meal (we arrived late and was still accommodated) the meal was absolutely gorgeous! Both me and my partner were full but didn’t want to stop eating it was that nice! The bar staff again were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! For the small price we paid this by far well exceeded any expectations and was ideal. When asking if a late check out was possible this was more than accommodated and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was included and was again delicious! Absolutely outstanding and we will 100% be back to stay. Thank you so much all at The Ancient Mariner!!

It had a warm friendly feeling of a home environment! Suzanne was the perfect host. I had a family emergency to deal with whilst I was there and she really looked out for me. The room itself was spotlessly clean it was spacious with a beautiful bathroom with a separate bath and shower. It had a small fridge and a separate heater if you felt cold. I couldn’t recommend this property highly enough!

Wow, where to start really? I think it has to be with the hosts as Maria and Rich just couldn't do enough to help. My elderly mum struggled with seating so Maria didn't question fetching her a suitable chair with arms to allow her to get in and out easily 🤩. My own inexperience with hot tubs was soon rectified by Rich who popped round immediately to set it up for me - (thank you) 😁. Both were so friendly and welcoming but not in your face like some hosts can be (just close enough to help when needed).
As for the cabin, it is absolutely perfect! Spotlessly clean with absolutely everything you could want for a comfortable stay. We all had the best night's sleep ever! I love to rate showers (it's my thing haha) and I would give this one a 12 out of 10 for sure.
The continental breakfast is an absolute most, consisting of a selection of pastries, bread for toasting, a selection of toppings, yogurts, porridge, cereal, fresh fruit, coffee and fresh orange juice. We ate like pigs but just couldn't eat it all!
The WiFi is strong and the TV provides a good selection of channels, including Netflix etc. There is even a selection of games provided for those that want to use them.
The hot tub is an absolute bonus and with views over the garden area housing chickens and the most friendly kitten, I couldn't help but smile 😁.
Parking right outside of the property gate was great and just a short amble over to the seafront perfect.
I only wish we had booked more than one night but guarantee we will revisit again soon. ♥️

Lovely village, would have liked to explore the village and Quantocks a little more but the weather was against us. Nice place to stay for some fantastic rambles and horse riding. We stayed and ate at the Ancient Mariner, very comfortable and amazing food, hospitality and staff.

It's a nice village with a few choices to eat. The main road itself is quite busy during the day and parking spaces are at a minimum. There are many walks to be had and Nether Stowey itself is a good stop off if you are travelling to Cornwall.

We enjoyed every minute at the hotel. Carol is so friendly and the food is delicious.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful.
The room was ideal and a good size for two retrievers as well.
I only booked a few days before we were due to visit, so lucky to get a room at such short notice!I
Carol opened the pool early in the morning so I had a very invigorating swim which set me up for the rest of the day.
The views are stunning and the gardens are so pretty.
Plenty of room for the dogs to enjoy walking around the grounds.
Definitely be back.
Thank you so much to all the staff at Castle of Comfort xx

Nether Stowey is an ideal location for walking in the Quantock Hills and there are lots of walking maps available.
Being a bird watcher I visited Steart Marshes which is a lovely bird reserve.
In the town here is the Nether Stowy castle which is worth a visit but be aware there is no building just the foundations at the top o a hill but lovely views of the are.

Really depends on personal preference.
Really depends on personal preference. We were on the trail of Coleridge and Wordsworth so for us it was ideal.
Generally the area is scenically varied and beyond magnificent in places, offering excellent walking and biking with close proximity to the north Somerset coast and the county town Taunton.
There is also a rich history and many interesting features to be discovered in the area, of which Culbone Church and Steart Marshes deserve special mention.
We will look forward to returning when opportunity permits.
Our room was the Castle Room and it was amazing, really luxurious and very clean- it even had a coffee maker! Breakfast was delicious, we are both vegetarians and were served homemade bread and veggie choices, different both days and much more interesting than the usual veggie fare. The Old Cider House is ideal for day trips into the Quantocks and we did a lot of walking. Our hosts were friendly and happy to give advice on walks and things to do. Jasper the dog was always ready for cuddles and a happy greeting!
The primary purpose of our visit was to walk in the Quantock hills. The Old House was perfectly located for this.
The property was full of character and the live-in owners were charming and helpful at all times.
Our room was a delight. It was larger and more comfortable than we expected and to learn that it was where Samuel Taylor Coleridge once lived was a bonus.
The breakfasts were first class. Fresh ingredients cooked to perfection.
We had chosen the accommodation carefully as my husband is disabled and were delighted to find a BUNGALOW in Nether Stowey. We were so looking forward to our stay but on arrival we discovered the accommodation was not a bungalow despite the site stating very clearly, as it still does, that it is a bungalow so totally unsuitable for our needs and we clearly couldn't stay there.
There's nothing not to like at The Old House. History is seamlessly blended with updated living. The suite is roomy & well outfitted; fresh flowers a lovely treat! The gardens are a true delight - both flower & vegetable. Hosts serve a delicious breakfast & provide excellent recommendations for things to do & places to eat. We'd definitely stay here again.
Everything about this B&B is just amazing - the location in the stunning Quantock Hills, the fabulous historical room, the beautiful walled garden and the wonderful cooked breakfast. There was so much attention to detail and the hosts were delightful. My husband and I are already planning a much longer stay at The Old House. Highly recommend.
The area around Nether Stowey is particularly beautiful to me, as it should be to anyone with sentience. The hosts were fairly friendly and breakfast was pretty solid. A nice touch was them having a fridge with drinks for sale for guests. There's a restaurant down the road that serves an excellent curry (when they're actually serving food).
Really lovely house and grounds in a very convenient location since we were walking the Coleridge Way. A friendly welcome and comfortable room. The gardens are truly lovely - albeit that we were only staying for the one night and so could not truly enjoy them
Only one pub serving food in Nether Stowey
The hotel is lovely. A lovely period building that looks great on the inside and out. The setting is amazing, with rolling fields surround the hotel. Breakfast was great, and one of the best things was the staff! They were all incredibly helpful, caring and friendly. Just an excellent stay all round.
Excellent Hotel & Restaurant set in beautiful surroundings. Staff very, very helpful & friendly. Food absolutely delicious. Room very clean and comfortable, slept really well. Would highly recommend & look forward to staying again. I feel lucky to have found such a lovely place.
The Stable Cottage is ideally situated in the centre of Nether Stowey and a good base for walking on the Quantock Hills. It had everything we needed for a week's stay, including off-street parking. Manor and Ann are excellent hosts.
What an amazing little treasure! Great staff, excellent atmosphere, great room for four adults! Fabulous food, WiFi, parking. Would highly recommend this pub lodging and a trip through Nether Stowey!!
Lovely big bed, enormous bathroom & quiet location in Quantocks.
Excellent breakfast.
Friendly staff.
