The Ancient Mariner

The room we had was in a block of similar rooms and of a high standard. Though be careful in the shower as it does become slippery (a warning notice by the bathroom was present). The breakfast room does need updating especially the tables that show signs of wear and were sticky to the touch. There was a lack of choice of food at breakfast and the quality of the food served should be of a higher standard.

There are only 2 Pubs functioning in the main village street , so my wife I opted for the Ancient Mariner's burger dishes which came with salad , etc . These were just right for a Pub Lunch , as well as the spacious car park at the side rear for your car . It is also dog friendly as we had one with us this time , it's opposite Coleridge's Cottage (National Trust) . The village itself is delightful , worth a visit in its own right .

We visited this restaurant last year as a pit stop before heading to North Devon, and decided to do the same this year. It appears to have new owners since our last visit, but they were still friendly and everything went smoothly. The room we stayed in was lovely and we enjoyed delicious food in the pub. The room was just right for our family of 4, with no complaints. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic and got us off to a good start for the day. Our stay in Nether Stowey was great - it's a hidden gem. Ver carta

I went to the restaurant expecting to try the special of the day, but was told it was not available on Sundays. Instead, I ordered the vegetarian option, which was supposed to be a nut roast, but ended up being a bland and unexciting vegetable pie with no protein. By the time the food arrived at 1:45 pm, over an hour after we had arrived at 12:45 pm, I was too hungry to complain. The vegetables and roast potatoes were basic and not very impressive. To make matters worse, my friend had Yorkshire pudding with her chicken while I was served a soggy roulade. Overall, it was not a good experience and I would not go back.

The Ancient Mariner was vey welcoming. The B&B accommodation, which consists of what looks like a row of charming cottages, is quiet and really comfortable. There was a large walk in shower in the ensuite, the beds were comfortable and everything was beautifully clean. My partner is disabled and the Ancient Mariner suited us very well. It is obviously a great place for dog lovers too and we saw lots of people enjoying a stay with their very well behaved pets. The breakfast was amazing, lots of starters and a huge full English of egg, bacon, black pudding, hash browns, baked beans, mushrooms, tomato and sausage! There is lovely walking in the area and such a breakfast would set you up for the...

As the reception is at the end of a bar it was perhaps the best reception I’ve ever had… room key served with an excellent value ice cold half of San Miguel draft after a long drive. Room was clean, although remote control for tv is often over looked so I cleaned that on the teams behalf: ideally cotton ear bud to get between the buttons. Shower is slippery when wet but didn’t actually slip just warned. Breakfast in the morning ticked the box. Value for money was very good. Reason for visit: nearby wedding, other guests stayed in the village and we were picked up by wedding bus to take us to venue. Had a pint at the George inn too. Lovely experience. The young chap on the bar on Friday after... Ver carta

Stayed overnight here on way to Cornwall, on Friday, 15th August. Room was quite spacious, plenty big enough for us and pet dog with cage. Bathroom was also spacious, which was a wet room, ideal for disabled access, as indeed was the entrance door! Flat level access, car parked ten yards away, literally! Short walk to the pub itself, which provided a scrumptious evening meal, and beers at reasonable prices, not at all 'rip off ' prices!!! Obviously to cater for the local community, who were very friendly and chatty. The village of Nether Stowey is very nice, well worth a longer stay than we had unfortunately!! Breakfast was more than adequate, and very quickly served up, along with full Engl...

Stayed here for one night to extend and break up our holiday from Devon back home to the Midlands. The room was clean, comfortable, quiet and had everything that we needed including a clean kettle, tea, coffee and bottles of water. The bed was clean and comfortable along with the bathroom which was a wet room. It was a dog friendly accommodation and couldn't smell that any dogs had actually stayed there. We didn't eat there in the evening due to having a big lunch in Minehead. My in-laws who were staying next door came over in the evening and we played cards and had nibbles. The room was spacious enough for that. The rooms are at the rear of the pub next to the car park and there ate public...

Whilst the room was as expected we were slightly disappointed at the overall experience. We arrived just before 3pm and on entering the pub via the back door, found it completely empty. Calling out attracted no response so we finally gave up and left to go for a ride around. On our return we were told that the pub wasn’t open so we’d have to go up the road for a meal, which meant yet another road trip. Breakfast was fine but no alternative offered, and the ambiance left a lot to be desired as the pool table and darts board clearly showed it was the sports room, with a few tables and chairs dotted around . After a lovely, but tiring day out for my disabled sister, we decided to eat in the pub... Ver carta
