"This was an excellent value for money stay. The large self contained 2 room chalet ( 1 of 9 built behind the pub) was much better than most hotel rooms at this price."

“Nestled at the foot of the Quantock Hills in Nether Stowey, this hotel strikes me as a place where you can settle into generously sized rooms after a day exploring Coleridge Cottage. I noticed the thoughtful touches, like controlling your own room temperature and the private entrances, which give a real sense of ease. For those seeking a blend of local charm and modern comforts, this could be a memorable base.”
