October 2024

The house was full of character. Our room was huge , with a big bed, sofa, chair, tv. We didn't have an ensuite, but we had a private bathroom just outside of our room. The room was very clean, and we had complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits . The breakfast was lovely, and so were our hosts. If you stay in the summer there is also a beautiful garden . There's also off-road private parking, which is essential in Nether Stowey. We will definitely stay again. Thank you.

The only thing I could suggest was adding a bottle of water to the tea tray. Everything else was perfect.

Our room was enormous, very comfortable and full of history. It included a sitting area with sofa and table. Excellent breakfast. Beautifully fresh fruit salad with locally produced muesli and perfectly cooked bacon sausage poached eggs etc. Lovely white China and white tablecloths and vases of wild flowers. The garden is absolutely stunning, immaculately well kept and a sun trap. Although the bathroom is separate, it’s not a problem at all as you literally come out of the bedroom door and the bathroom is opposite. A dressing gown is also provided. I would be very happy to stay again or recommend to anyone thinking of booking. Thank you to Manor the host and his wife for a great stay.

What a beautiful find! The Old House is an absolute gem - our room was huge, the gardens were glorious and the breakfast was excellent. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Our bed was very big and the pillows really comfy. Our host was very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was of good quality and well cooked: very tasty.

The only downside was the bathroom being across the hall: this was literally 3 steps from our room, and the bathroom was private to us. A bath robe was supplied for this reason, but as a suggestion, a larger size would be better!

A lovely spacious and clean large room in a quiet setting. The house itself is full of history and character with many original features. It is well positioned for walks around the Quantock Hills with lovely scenery. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. There were fresh flowers in the room which were a nice touch. The large private garden was lovely and peaceful with plenty of seating. The breakfast was superb, well cooked with plenty of choices. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. Highly recommended

Manor was such a welcoming and helpful host, which made a lovely introduction to the property. Our room was huge, and very elegantly furnished. We had an excellent night’s sleep in a large and comfortable bed, in a wonderfully quiet village. Anne’s garden is so pretty - the perfect spot to sit and read in the sunshine. And her breakfast was superb. We really couldn’t fault The Old House - hope we can think of another reason to visit before too long.

Nothing not to like!

All good - reception, room. breakfast, location, cleanliness and excellent hosts. My best wishes to Manor for a speedy recovery after his operation.

As it was chillier than expected for Sept, I used the small portable heater but it was inadequate for the The Coleridge Room which was really very big (with a separate bathroom). No doubt with the central heating switched on in off season that would warm things up.

The rich history of the property including the garden was palpable, yet the room itself was incredibly comfortable, quiet and with every modern amenity we could possibly need for our stay. There were so many books around the room to browse; some about the house’s former inhabitants and a selection of their poetry, but also an excellent collection of fiction. I didn’t need to stuff my suitcase full of novels after all! The owners provided a fantastic breakfast every morning and went over and above to ensure that our stay was tailored to what we were looking for. Their hospitality was warm (but not intrusive) and their advice on evening meal locations and walks that suited our fitness levels were spot on and hugely appreciated. Thank you Manor and Ann!

A lovely room in a beautiful property, Manor and Ann were excellent hosts and very welcoming! The room had a very comfy bed, great facilities (iron and ironing board was very helpful for the wedding we were attending) and tea and coffee making facitilies. The breakfast was fantastic, so delicious and fresh and lots of choice! There was plenty parking and the gardens were so peaceful to sit in. We would thoroughly recommend and it is great value for money. Thank you Manor and Ann for being wonderful hosts!

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.

It was love at first sight when I first saw a photo of The Old House. Having found out more about the history of the house I had no hesitation to book our stay there, although I never heard of Nether Stowey before! The whim paid off and we loved our stay there. I chose The Coleridge Suite with an adjoining private bathroom rather than the en-suite room because of its history. Having been there I think an en-suite in the room would spoil its history and character. The room was large and comfortable. As it looked out onto the garden it was quiet too. The breakfast, served in a cosy dining room was lovely too. The location was a triumph too as we could walk to have our dinner at The Ancient Mariner pub just opposite Coleridge Cottage at the bottom end of the village. And it took no time to get to Quantock Hills. Many thanks to our hosts. We’d love to return when the weather is a bit warmer!
