What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  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!

  The lodge is perfect for a break away.

  Hidden within the Somerset lanes with easy access to the coast and countryside, I spent my days walking and exploring. Dunster is a delightful village and the beach was great for me and the dog. If you are a steam train buff the line runs right by the property - unfortunately there were no trains running in January. The fenced garden was perfect for my dog and it would be perfect in the summer for star gazing. The owners were really helpful, a great goodie pack on arrival and checking that I was OK during storm Isha. They live on site, are available to help but leave you to your own devices. I hope to return when the steam trains are running to enjoy the garden, sunsets, walking the lanes and visiting the coast. If only we could control the weather!

  We absolutely loved our stay at Watermead lodge.

  The hosts were so welcoming and we arrived to scones, Prosecco, dog biscuits and other essentials, which were a lovely touch. The lodge is finished to a really high standard and built by Ash himself; we loved hearing about how he had built it. They have thought of everything that you need there, including a fully enclosed fence around the area which was perfect for our dog. Our dog particularly enjoyed making friends with the sheep through the fence. Really comfortable beds and we made lots of use of the large dining table for a board games night. We didn’t get much chance to explore the immediate area, but it was handy to have a short commute to Minehead and Taunton. We will definitely be back and strongly recommend.

  Well what can I say, what a hidden gem of a place.

  Ash and George have made an amazing lodge which is set in the most tranquil setting. The goodies left for us and our doggie were most welcome after a long trip down. The steam train that goes past is a bonus and much fun had with the dog trying to chase it. The area is quaint and the Rocking Horse cafe is a must visit for views and food. The local shop is well stocked and friendly staff. This is a must and we didn’t want to leave which shows what a good time we had. Thank you to you both and we will be back xx
