The region Monksilver is a quiet village on the eastern edge of Exmoor National Park, tucked between the Brendon Hills and the Quantock Hills in West Somerset. Despite its name, the silver has nothing to do with precious metal -- it comes from the Latin 'silva', meaning woodland, so the village is really 'Monk's Wood'. The village has its own welcoming pub, The Notley Arms Inn, which serves award-winning food and local ales. The neighbouring village of Stogumber is two miles away and has a community-run shop and Post Office, while the town of Williton is three miles away with two small supermarkets, a petrol station, cash machines, restaurants, a butcher, pharmacy, and hardware store. Minehead is approximately ten miles away and has larger supermarkets including Tesco and Morrisons, high street banks, and a broader range of shops. Taunton, the county town of Somerset, is roughly 14 miles south and offers a full range of supermarkets and amenities. Both Tesco and Sainsbury's deliver grocery shopping to this area. Monksilver sits within Exmoor's International Dark Sky Reserve -- the first in Europe -- making it an outstanding location for stargazing on clear nights. The Brendon Hills, Quantock Hills, and the Somerset coast are all within easy reach by car. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transportation -

Weather was terrible so we didn't make the most of the close proximity of Exmoor and the Quantocks, but the cottage is cosy and very well equipped, so we had a great rest in a lovely setting. We are a 3 generation family and this worked well for everyone. Plenty of communal space to spread out into, good central heating and a beautifully kept garden. Downstairs bedroom and bathroom perfect for our 89 year old Father. Eric and Fiona the hosts are incredibly accommodating and thoughtful and we definitely recommend this place. It's a bit of a way along single-track lanes from the closest shops, but we came prepared for that. Lovely to visit Watchet and Dunster Castle.

Check in was really easy and Eric and Fiona had kindly left us some tasty treats to have when we arrived.The house was warm and comfortable. We all slept well. The kitchen has everything you need. The gardens were beautifully kept. We walked in the wood at the back and saw the chickens. We watched beautiful sunsets over the hills and the sea from the back windows. It was wonderfully tranquil. We loved walking in Exmoor and the Quantocks. We visited Dunster Castle and Coleridge's house as well. We had a thoroughly nice time and would recommend staying here. ##### Julia B.

The house was exa As soon as we arrived we knew we had made the right choice for our week's holiday. The house was exactly as described and we couldn't fault it in any way. The kitchen was well equipped with everything needed for cooking a meal. We spent most evenings in the conservatory looking out on the beautiful garden. We were left some goodies and wine which was very much appreciated. A perfect spot for exploring the coast and Exmoor. ##### SALLY U. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cameron I.

The garden is kept beautifully and if you are lucky with the weather is a perfect place to relax. The house is very well equipped and has a number of sitting areas. The kitchen also has everything you could need. Special mention for the beds are everyone agreed that they were extremely comfortable. The owner lives next door but is not intrusive and is a very nice chap. The surrounding area is stunning with many fine pubs not too far away. Overall, an excellent spot for a holiday - heartily recommended. ##### Cameron I.
