We had originally booked the place before, and despite the hosts warning us that bookings weren't changeable we had a minor family emergency and couldn't go that weekend. After a bit of wrangling with them, they eventually changed their minds and let us change the date, so thanks very much for that, although not sure why they took such a hard line on it in the first place.
Anyway, the place was really nice, nice big room, very clean and nicely furnished. Stack of DVDs in the drawer in case you want to burn a couple of hours.
Bed was comfy and we slept well both nights we were there, one drawback was our room was on the road, which meant on Monday morning we were awoken by the commuter traffic - but let's bear in mind what commuter traffic in Nether Stowey is like - about one car a minute and it was pretty much time to wake up anyway.
We had a good night in the local pubs, which were warm and inviting. Basic food, but ample servings and good service.
The breakfast they served was great, with thick rich egg yolks (from their own hens?) and just the right sized servings.
Perhaps a little bit expensive at £80 a night, but perhaps that's the going rate in these parts.
Anyway, it was a good place to stay as long as you like dogs.

Thank you for taking the trouble to write a review and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Just in case guests take your comment about traffic the wrong way, Nether Stowey is a village bypassed by the main road and is peaceful with only minimal local traffic.
We're very glad that you enjoyed the breakfast and you are correct that the eggs came from our own hens (Monica, Gabriella, Angelina, Bluebell, Eve and Pew).
As for making changes to bookings, the effect of a late change is that the booking has denied others a room and, in this case, left us with an empty room on a weekend night. As a small rural business this really makes a difference. This is why we make a charge - sorry.
