    Not a problem as such, but we came in separate cars and there was only room for one of us to park on the premises. I parked on the road which worked fine. No problem finding a space.

    Lovely little cottage, very comfortable. I shared with a friend which worked well. There is a beautiful garden to wander round and sit in which was lovely.

    The lack of handrails in the bathroom was a problem for 2 of us who couldn't use the shower over the bath.

    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.

    Wifi was up and down, to the extent it was unusable for much of the time but I wasn't there to work on the laptop and tethering was fine. We were then on a particularly chilly weekend and it was quite cool inside the cottage. No surprise, it's an old place and insulation is non-existent.

    Very nice, helpful owners. Rustic, old style cottage on two floors. Two good sized bedrooms and a modern bathroom with decent shower. A few books and board games and a small flat screen TV. Well located for exploring the area and even into Devon. Lovely large garden. Plenty of parking space.

    We had a two-week stay in the Housekeeper's Quarters - two adults and two children (12 and 6 years old). Had a great time. The apartment we occupied was right under the roof, it had two bedrooms in addition to separate living room and kitchen. It was full of character, very spacious, private and very quiet. The house had an absolutely massive walled and secure garden with apple trees and toys for the children. Our children spent quite a bit of time in it. The village of Nether Stowey is tiny, but has all the required amenities in addition to being rather picturesque - a small well-stocked shop that stays open late-ish, couple of pubs (one serving food), a hill where an iron-age fort used to be, and a National Trust museum in a cottage where Samuel Coleridge used to live (well worth a visit despite a modest outward appearance!). The area around (Somerset, Devon to the west, Dorset to the south) is very rural, with beautiful landscapes. The Somerset coast beaches are not really suitable for swimmng, but great for walks and fossil-hunting. The beaches on the south Dorset coast, however, are great for swimming and are about an hour away by car. Generally, the area has many attractions that definitely kept us busy for the whole two weeks - beaches, forest and hill walks, National Trust properties, etc. A special thanks goes to our hosts. They were extremely kind and welcoming and showed us all the key attractions in the area.

    It was a little dark in the cottage - but then the weather for the week we stayed was rather wet with not much sunshine!

    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.

    Nothing

    I stayed for three nights in the self catering Garden Wing which has it's own little section of patio, kitchen/dining room, living room, bathroom and bedroom. It had everything you would need for a relaxing stay, as I did, or as a base for exploring the walks in the area. I imagine the acre garden would be amazing to sit in when the weather is dryer. The local shop is very much a tardis and very friendly staff, as are the locals of Nether Stowey.
