A property full of character situated on the ground floor.

The cottage is attached to the Old House which is the main dwelling but has its own independent access and privacy.The area is popular with walkers and the village sits at the foothills of the Quantock Hills, the first to be designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) in England. It is also centrally positioned for the local attractions and as we are only 9 miles from the M5 it is easy to venture further afield.
Nether Stowey boasts its connection with Coleridge and Wordsworth who are credited with being the founders of the Romantic Movement. In fact some of Coleridge's poems were written in the house library or garden.
The property has an acre (2.5 ares) of walled garden in which our guests can enjoy, recline in the loungers or just sit in the shade of the gazebo. It is no wonder that the poets gained inspiration from this delightful spot.
