A really quiet and relaxing break. Shepperds hut set in a very isolated spot, just one other hut in our field. We ended up being the only guests in the field so we were completely alone and not overlooked at all. WiFi worked fine. Hot tub was amazing.

Wonderful location and the most beautiful cosy cabin. Richie and Maria are so welcoming and friendly. They provide the most peaceful experience and we loved all the little touches. Highly recommend the continental breakfast.
The best thing was meeting Scoobie, Poppy, Smoky and the girls (puppies, kitty and chickens!)
Thank you so much! We will definitely be back again!

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 overall look of the hotel from the outside and it's location. The cosy feel and the friendliness of all the staff.
Complimentary tea and cakes on arrival was very welcome and a lovely touch as was the complimentary cocktail on the first evening . The extra touches in our room,eg sherry ,a bottle of water.A plentiful tray with tea,coffee and hot chocolate and a tea pot too!
Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of things. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were welcomed with a hot drink and cake on arrival. The shower and quality of towels were very good.
The hotel was a little way from the village and on a busy road. A car was needed.
I imagine it would be a good centre for walking in the Quantock Hills.
-Delicious full English breakfast, I also had the eggs Benedict ham cheese and poached eggs which was lovely.
- spacious hot shower
- lots of variety tea facilities and biscuits in room, house keeping done every day of stay which is good
- pet cat called ‘ ginge’ super friendly and staff all polite and lovely.
- local pubs and nice walks nearby
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).
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.
We loved our stay at the Old house! The room was full of character and very comfortable, breakfast was wonderful and the gardens were beautiful. The hosts were lovely and accommodating too. Brilliant location. To access Quantock lakes wedding venue.
A great stay.
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.
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.
We enjoyed our stay at ancient mariner, the staff were very friendly and helpful , the accommodation was lovely ,clean and spacious , our dog was happy and contented , food was excellent and plenty of it ,would recommend highly.
