房源位置

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!

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.
