Second time here and as ever fantastic, such lovely hosts. The room is lovely and comfortable, warm and clean. The Breakfast is just amazing and if you get the chance be sure to explore their garden. We loved being here for the weekend and aim to come again so thank you very much.

Wow, just wow! Stayed for 9 days for our son's wedding and rented the Coleridge Suite, Sarah's Room as well as the Garden Wing Suite for the family. Manor and Ann were the warmest hosts without being intrusive at all.  …

Really enjoyed our stay, manor, the owner was really nice. The breakfast was so tasty, best tasting bacon and eggs ever. Lovely fresh fruit salad to start. Make sure you try the home made, jam and marmalade, it's so good. The garden is very pretty, plenty of seating areas. So glad we found this place. Only 2 minutes from the quantock wedding venue.

We came across this b&b when walking in the quantocks and were lucky they had a room free. We stayed in Sarah’s bedroom - bright, large and very clean - for one night over the weekend. The hotel itself is homely and inviting. …

Like many others, we came to Nether Stowey in pursuit of Coleridge, and the Old House was a convenient base for exploring the area. The rooms we had were beautiful, and beautifully kept. …
