About this house rental

Stable Cottage is a delightful 2 bedroom property built of local stone sitting on its own in our courtyard. As suggested it is the old stable converted to a private dwelling but kept some of its charming original features. It has twin beds in one room and a double in the other.It is on two floors with a central staircase. Outside is a small sitting are and patio where you can enjoy the sunshine most of the day. There is an acre (2.5 ares) of walled garden so it is very safe for children to play whilst the adults sit or lounge their time away in the many private areas of the garden.It is restful and quiet. The garden is also where the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge is said to have written some of his best poetry and where he gained inspiration for more of his work.
The front of the cottage is covered with climbing flowers and is covered in roses for most of the summer.
Stable Cottage is part of The Old House which was a private residence dating back to the mid1700. Today it is still a private house but has been carefully divided into 3 holiday cottages and two B&B rooms.It sits in the centre of the delightful village of Nether Stowey with its little brook running down the main streets. It is at the bottom of the beautiful Quantock Hills the first area in England to be designated and area of Outstanding natural beauty (AONB). The walks around the area are stunning with views across to Wales, the Mendip Hills, Blackdown Hills and the Exmoor National Park. Nether Stowey is the beginning of the Coleridge way which is a popular 56 mile walk. The village of KIlvce 4 miles away is part of the north Somerset Jurassic coastline where fossils are plentiful. It is a lovely spot to observe the unusual strata formations at low tide and a magnet for walkers and tourists alike. Watchet, and old port with two harbours is a popular destination for strolling around and eating fish and chips in the late evening overlooking the marina. A little further down the road is Dunster with its famous and stunning well preserved castle. The village itself a little gem to visit and savour. To the east of nether Stowey we are within easy distance of the small city of Wells with its fantastic Cathedral and Bishops Palace. Caves to visit at Wookey Hole and Cheddar with its the famous gorge. For those in need of retail therapy there is Clarks Village and can be followed up with a visit to Glastonbury Torr.
National Trust properties are abundant and several are within easy distance from Stable Cottage.
There is so much to do you will need more than one week to see them all.

We stayed for a wedding and brought our 1 year old daughter. Manor and Anne were fantastic hosts and very accommodating. The cottage was ideal for our needs and the garden was beautiful, our daughter loved running about in it.

Comfortable and clean - great location, lovely friendly hosts who made us very welcome. The garden is beautiful and in spite of the terrible weather we had a really enjoyable break - thanks

We had a lovely week in the sunshine in Nether Stowey. The property is spacious, the welcome warm and the garden an absolute delight. My teenage boys were delighted by the badminton net in the garden and my nieces loved the space and freedom to play. Manor was really helpful in suggesting places to visit and where to eat, and we all loved the fossil beaches.

My wife and I were booked in to Stable Cottage in Somerset for 3 nights commencing Tuesday 18th September but unfortunately the property was really not suitable for us or any elderly people especially around the 70 year old mark or someone that has bad knee joints. The website shows 19 photos, 16 of them giving views of the garden, the outside view of the cottage or the coast and local places to visit but their were only 3 photos of the inside of the property. These are the living room, kitchen and a bedroom. The description does state a central staircase but the staircase was open backed, quite steep, not much of a handrail and uncarpeted, like I say this would not be a problem for younger people but older ones would definitely struggle. Therefore a photo of the stairs would be great or even an advisory note to say the property may not be suitable for the elderly. Another problem we noted was the sofas were very low which is again not suitable for older people that have joint problems. In the bathroom their was not really a place to stand toiletries, their was a glass shelf above the wash sink but it didn't look too safe. It was a nice touch for our arrival with some food. milk, bread etc. and the property was clean but I really think that some indication that it may not suit elderly people would be useful for anybody thinking of staying there. We had booked for a 3 night stay but had to leave after one night as we felt the staircase was just too dangerous for someone of the age of 70 plus with bad knee joints. If it was just a normal staircase, carpeted and with a handrail we would probably been able to manage it.
