What our customers say about their holidays

  We are a family of 6 (2 kids, 2 parents and 2 grandparents) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riverside Lodge in Washford, Somerset.

  A stones throw from the delightful White Horse Inn pub, where we enjoyed a delicious dinner on "pie night"and a short walk to Torre Cider Farm, where we saw lambs and walked through the orchard before purchasing some ciders and other treats. Also close by was Washford Station, one of the stops on the West Somerset Steam Railway, running from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead, which we took a return trip on one drizzly day. Nearby visits to Dunster and Dunster Castle, and Watchet were also greatly enjoyed! And we did a day trip to Lynton/Lynmouth, driving along breathtaking A39 through Exmoor ending at the Valley of Rocks! Really spectacular! Accomodation was spacious and comfortable, including a huge living room, separate well-stocked games room and well-equipped kitchen. We couldnt work out how to use Xbox (so some instructions would be appreciated) but kids enjoyed selection of boardgames and legos! Kitchen just missing some basics like salt, pepper and cooking oil, but had teas, coffee and milk in fridge. We enjoyed amazing bean to cup coffee as well (once we figured out how to work the machine). On first floor were three en-suite bedrooms, which worked well for us. Would have liked two single beds for kids rather than double but all slept well. We would definitely stay here again and reccommend to others looking for a family-friendly, scenic countryside stay close to seaside and Exmoor national park with lots of options for daytrips suited to families!

  We have stayed in a number of cottages over the years, but I have to say that our stay here was without doubt THE perfect break that we have always been looking for!

  The most wonderful hosts you could ever wish to meet, made us feel completely at ease and extremely welcome. As for the cottage itself, we have never found our all perfect cottage, until we came across this beautiful and idyllic place. Perfectly set within a wooded area, looking out onto hilly forests and mature trees. But our delight was in the particular wildflower area directly outside our lodge. With the serenity and the beauty of the wildlife that it attracted was truly a most beautiful source of much needed relaxation to us both. We spent the majority of our evenings sitting outside in front of the chimnea having drinks and listening to the wildlife until the early hours. We have never experienced or enjoyed a holiday so peaceful and relaxing as this, and we didn’t realise how much we needed to until we got here! We cannot recommend this lodge highly enough, especially for people wanting to recharge and get away from it all! We most definitely will return and look forward to it!

  Perfect hosts!

  Perfect lodge! On arrival Joy and Francis were there to greet us. They are both extremely friendly and helpful. We were blown away by the standard of the accommodation. We had Prosecco in the fridge along with milk, olives, coffee and chocolate. We had shopped en route and prepared a simple supper and sat in the garden. We had a walk around the grounds and then slept soundly in the very comfy bed. 
Saturday we went into Bishops Castle and had lunch at the Chai shop. Tina is an amazing host and very good Indian cook. We also had a drink in the oldest licensed brewery in England.
The local walks are great and easy to walk the area around the lodge. The local vineyard in Montgomery is lovely, tasted wine and had lunch. 
The lodge is in a very central position for lots of activities. Both Francis and Joy recommend Kerrys ridge which had amazing views. 
We can’t recommend this place enough. We will definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful week!

  We had a fantastic holiday at Riverside Lodge.

  It is located in a peaceful location, though not too far from plenty of amenities, main towns Dunster, with its castle, Minehead shingle, rocky beach and promenade. It had everything you need for an enjoyable holiday. The dining/kitchen was very spacious and well equipped. On sunny days you can dine out alfresco with the bbq.Our dog enjoyed the very larged enclosed garden. The beds were comfy and all bedrooms had ensuite facilities. We enjoyed eating at The White Horse Inn just across the road, The Valiant Soldier in Roadwater (very large portions and good value for money). The Torre cider farm provided good lunchtime produce. We had an enjoyable day out on the West Somerset Railway, catching the train from the local station (Washford). We definitely highly recommend Riverside Lodge and would return again when visiting this area of Somerset.

  Very impressed.

  Clean and very well equipped. Wifi was great and the level of equipment including a great coffee machine, bottle coolers, gas barbecue and retro arcade machine being a highlight. Proved to be a perfect base for 6 of us and our dog. The spacious grounds allowed us to exercise and let our dog off the lead, as well as space for family football and rounders. The kitchen with the island was the hub of the house , with the lounge and games room providing quiet areas for catching up on tv, reading and family games. Area was great to explore, with Watchet, Minehead and Lynton nd Lynmouth being popular. Sunday lunch at the White Horse was excellent. We used the private gate to sit by the river in the White Horse garden and play cards. We also had excellent breakfast twice at the Torre Cider farm.
