A steady walk into the village. Very close to the reservoir and the walks. Can catch the bus into Wells and also Weston super Mare. The lodge has a splendid area to relax in and can watch the relaxing bird life in the morning.

This is a lovely comfortable lodge in a quite location, a 15 minute walk to the village. It is very well equipped to self cater. It's only downside was the outside area which really let it down. The patio, garden furniture and outside of the lodge had not been cleaned in a while, swept them myself. But the indoor area makes up for this,
