  We had such a lovely few days staying here.

  The lodge is really sweet and was clean and cosy ready for our arrival! The views are amazing and it’s such a peaceful location. The garden is fully enclosed so we could let our little pooch wander about without worrying about her dashing after a rabbit into the great beyond! It was lovely to have breakfast and watch the blue tits etc feeding close by and the horses in the fields below. We really did just relax and unwind! It’s a great location for exploring the scenery. We visited Lyme Regis, Exmouth & did some lovely coastal walks. The cooker & microwave came in handy for cooking simple dinners. The essentials were there in the kitchen such as W/up liquid, dishwasher tablets/ T-towel (but only the one)/dishcloth & sponge, also the kitchen had various saucepans bowls/spoons & equipment you’d need. The only think I missed was a jug to measure the stock for the Risotto I cooked. The owner was really nice & responsive and supplied fresh towels for the bathroom later in the week when requested, and answered our questions about closest supermarket. The only thing extra I would have liked is hand towels for the kitchen & extra for the bathroom, but the owner is so nice I’m sure he would have dropped some off if I’d asked. I would definitely like to return! I am missing the tranquility of the setting as I type

  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.

  The lodge was very clean and had everything you need for a short stay.

  We took a lot of things with us such as washing up liquid, tea towels, kitchen towel, toilet roll etc but it was already supplied. We even had a welcome hamper left for us including teas, coffee, milk, eggs, bread etc and my most favourite of all was the homemade shortbread! My dog had a welcome pack too! That was a lovely surprise. It was modern and very comfortable. We were pleased to find that the driveway had a gate so our dog couldn't escape! And the lovely kids play house was full of toys also. The only criticism we would have is the driveway down to the lodge. We have a 4x4 and it was very tight getting down to the lodge especially with those huge rocks on the bend, but we did with no mishap thankfully! The view was beautiful and we loved watching the horses in their paddocks. It was so quiet and peaceful, a great place to escape to. We would very much like to stay here again in the future!

  My family and I had the most wonderful stay at Watermead Lodge!

  The lodge itself was absolutely beautiful, set in a peaceful and serene location that allowed us to truly relax and unwind. One of the highlights was watching the charming steam trains from the West Somerset Railway pass by the garden – it was like stepping back in time and added such a unique touch to our stay. Our dog loved the vast garden to run around. In terms of getting around, things were really easy, and if you like walking, then this is the place for you. George and Ash, our hosts, went above and beyond to make sure our experience was perfect. We had a welcome pack to greet us, which was great, but overall nothing was too much trouble for them, and their attention to detail made us feel truly welcome. Watermead Lodge is undoubtedly a 10 out of 10 when it comes to location and setting. We can't wait to come back and stay again!
