Beautiful Cottage & Garden, Quantock Hills

Summary:
Sitting on a leafy road in the village of Nether Stowey, this charming cottage is ideal for exploring the Quantock Hills AONB. Head out for long stomps through Ramscombe Great Woods or Dead Woman’s Ditch - find blankets of bluebells during spring. Or enjoy blustery beach days at East Quantoxhead Beach, which is only a 15 minute drive away. Whatever you do, end the day with cosy evenings at your charming abode. In the summer months, head out into the huge garden for sunny alfresco picnics.

The Space:
Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a trip with friends, this charming cottage won’t disappoint. You’re nestled at the foot of the Quantock Hills in the village of Nether Stowey, where you’ll find a bustling local pub and the former site of an 11th-century castle. Head off for long country walks straight from the front door - Great Wood is only a 30-minute walk. Or further afield, find Dead Woman’s Ditch Nature Reserve, Dowsborough Hill Fort and Hurley Beacon in under a 15-minute drive.

After a long day exploring, nothing beats returning to your cosy cottage to sit back and relax. Downstairs, find a homely living room with comfortable seating, a TV and sound system. Meanwhile next door is a kitchen and dining space, where you can rustle up delicious holiday meals. Upstairs, two bedrooms can be found on the first floor (one twin room and an additional single) as well as a family bathroom with a bath and shower. On the top floor, a light and bright master bedroom boasts skylights and a private en-suite with a shower. Come and enjoy long summer evenings out in the garden and feel yourself settle gently into country life!

The cottage is also well-equipped for those travelling with little ones. There are two cupboards of toys and games, plastic plates and cutlery, a travel cot, high chair, potty and kids toilet seat. The bathroom also has a bath with shower unit.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire cottage and garden. Please note, however, that the cottages here have a very quirky layout and the garden is not directly attached to the property. It is accessed via a short walk out the back door down a pathway.

The Neighborhood:
Nether Stowey is a beautiful village at the foot of the Quantock Hills. Samuel Taylor Coleridge lived in the village in the late 18th century when writing some of his best-known poems, inspired by the Somerset landscapes. This cottage sits on one of the original streets, with the Stowey Brook flowing outside the front window. Within a few moments walk, you’ll find a bustling local pub as well as the former site of an 11th-century castle. Visiting this village steeped in history, you will quickly understand where such romantic inspiration came from!

On the edge of the village, Plowright Organic Shop provides delicious locally grown produce. Meanwhile, Kitchen at Quantock Hills is ideal for a peaceful afternoon tea out on the terrace and The Cottage Inn for a fabulous Sunday Lunch. In under a 10 minutes drive, you’ll also find the stunning Combe House Hotel & Restaurant - set amongst the rolling hills, this beautiful country house is perfect for special occasions. National Trust lovers will enjoy an afternoon wandering through the gardens at Coleridge Cottage - home of Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Don’t miss an opportunity to tuck into an afternoon tea while you’re there!

The Quantock Hills is an area of wilderness and tranquillity. It’s walking country - so you certainly won’t struggle to find a whole host of trails straight from the door. Wander through blankets of bluebells and wild garlic at Great Wood (only a 30-minute walk).

Or further afield, find Dead Woman’s Ditch Nature Reserve, Dowsborough Hill Fort and Hurley Beacon in under a 15-minute drive. As well as the countryside, you’re also within close proximity to the coast with Kilve Beach only a 15-minute drive away. Discover ancient fossils imprinted into rocks and rock pools for paddling in, as well as expansive views over the estuary over to Wales. A little further on from there, you can reach the magical Dunster castle and surrounding medieval village in around half an hour. Watchet Harbour is around 20 minutes drive and is a great spot for local seafood, arts and crafts, galleries and museums. You will also find the famous Ancient Mariner statue!

Find more local tips and tricks in our Guest Guide, which is available upon booking.

Getting Around:
Due to the remote nature of the area, a car is recommended for getting the most out of your stay here. We provide one private parking space in the library just behind the cottage. Free parking can also be found on the street outside the cottage as well as on surrounding streets.

For those travelling via public transport, Great Western Railway operate a service which runs all the way from London Paddington into Bridgwater. It's then a short taxi or cycle ride to the cottage in Nether Stowey.

Other Things to Note:
Please note, the cottage is split over three levels with quite steep stairs to access each level. So it may not be suited to those with mobility limitations.

The property is fully electric with no gas appliances, hence there is no Carbon Monoxide alarm.

Please note, we do NOT accept pets due to a severe allergy of the owners.

Summer holiday 2024
We had a good time in Nether Stowey, although the cottage was a little bit smaller than we thought (we think that below there is not enough space for 5). The 2nd floor was great, with our own bath room, but our adult children, who slept on the 1st floor, had some sleeping problems with the springs in the matrasses. But in the end we enjoyed our 2 weeks
