Toll House, a charming and romantic holiday home located in Nether Stowey, Somerset, is an enchanting former toll house dating back to the 18th century. This quaint property, which accommodates two guests, is nestled on the quiet high street of the friendly village, positioned at the foot of the stunning Quantock Hills, England's first Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village offers a delightful atmosphere, complete with three pubs, a post office, a tea shop, and a grocery store, making it an ideal spot for those seeking an outdoor retreat amidst unspoilt countryside.

The cottage features a unique blend of historical charm and modern amenities, including a wood-burning stove and a roll-top cast iron bath, perfect for a romantic getaway. Although the property does not have a garden, it provides roadside parking and is easily accessible from the M5, just three hours' drive from London.

Slightly further afield, the bustling market town of Bridgwater provides additional attractions, including the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve, known for its beautiful walks and rich wildlife.

Cultural highlights in the vicinity include the Admiral Blake Museum and the Bakelite Museum, offering insights into the local history. For those interested in events or sports, venues like Darby Way and Somerset Speedway are also nearby. With its rich literary history, having been home to renowned poets such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and William Wordsworth, Toll House is not just a place to stay but a gateway to exploring the poetic and natural wonders of the region.
