Beautiful surroundings; a working farm. Lovely view from our window. Quiet and seemingly isolated yet a short ten minute walk to a picturesque village. Breakfast was outstanding. Our very spacious room was spotlessly clean and ensuite bathroom was 6 star. Huge bath and seperate shower; all looked brand new.

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.
The hotel was beautiful and the staff were amazing and so welcoming. The grounds are lovely and we were treated to complementary tea/coffee and cake on arrival. We ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious. The rooms were lovely and had everything you might need, including complementary sherry! The breakfast was incredible and included in the price of the stay, would recommend the smoked salmon and scrambled egg. A lovely place to stay, thank you so much!
It was one of the loveliest stay we have had in Somerset.
The staff were friendly, caring and couldn't do more for you.
The location was perfect (and amazing), the food was outstanding and the room was large and lovely.
The only bugbear I had was that although housekeeping came everyday, they didn't once make the bed or clean the bathroom sink.
I'd definitely recommend The Ancient Mariner to everyone!
The location was absolutely perfect for the walking and bird watching that we wanted to do in our break. The Old House, Nether Stowey is on the main street of the small town and the moment we arrived we were delighted to find a large courtyard for off road parking and behind that an acre of garden with lovely lawns, beautiful flowers and seating for visitors.
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.
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.
The cottage is very comfortable and central in terms of being in the centre of Nether Stowey village and near the Quantock hills and coast. The hosts are very welcoming and thoughtful about the differing heating and bedding needs of our small party. The cottage is well equipped.
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 hotel location is perfect for the Quantock Forest in the lovely village of Nether Stowey. It is situated opposite Coleridge Cottage, a National Trust property. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was as expected, delicious.
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!!
