  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!

  A very cozy cabin, which is bright and airy. The view across the field, including the sheep and the quiet make for a very relaxing spot to do nothing or just read a book. Although the location is well removed from other homes and the village along a number of narrow lanes, many interesting places and delightful pub restaurants are within easy reach. We had good meals at the "Villa Verdi" in Wellington, La Campanga" at the former "Eagle Inn" on the A303 as you approach Buckland St Mary from the east. Also there is a great daily carvery at the 'Hare & Hounds" just out of Honiton on the road to Budleigh Salterton. We enjoyed visits to the Wellington Monument, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens and also Stourhead on our journey home. We also undertook the challenge of a round of golf at Taunton & Pickeridge GC where we received a warm welcome. The cabin was the ideal base for our short break and the weather was better than we had expected. We will surely have to come again as it is also close to family and friends for a catch up.

  What a fantastic dog friendly log cabin. We had a really great week, from arrival, with the welcome loaf, butter, honey, milk and vase of flowers to all the dog friendly touches; water bowel, blanket, biscuits, dog bin and dog shower in the laundry room. The garden was fully enclosed and Pepper enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the sheep and birds through the glass front. We were able to relax and enjoy the great views over farm and local countryside. The cabin is in a good location, we visited the north and south coasts, plus lots of great places to walk the dog, both near the cabin and within 30 mins drive. There are some narrow lanes around the cabin, can be tricky driving along them, but that's what makes the place so special. We did get some noise from the adjacent farm, but it's a working farm so to be expected and didn't disturb us. Look forward to returning at some point as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

  Beautiful location and gorgeous lodges. Every detail was carefully considered from the positioning of each lodge to allow for privacy, down to beautiful bedding on THE most comfortable beds. Loved the wood burning stove for the chilly evenings/mornings and must mention that the bathroom was as good as any top hotel. This was glamping at its best! Jono the host was the perfect mix of attentive whilst allowing us the freedom to enjoy our surroundings. We booked 3 of the lodges with 11 family members ranging from 2 to 82! We utilised the pizza oven one night and it was fab - it makes delicious pizzas and provided an evenings entertainment, with a BBQ the following night. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves with loads of entertainment, playing rounders in the field, walking up the Tor, a day at the beach, a visit to Wells and a mock Glastonbury dressing up night.

  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.
