Guests say
Strawberry Lodge in Cheddar is praised for its good facilities, welcoming hosts, and convenient location with plenty of dog walks and attractions nearby. Guests appreciate the peaceful setting, the helpfulness of the owners, and the lodge's proximity to the town and natural areas. While some guests suggest maintenance improvements, the overall experience is positive, with many considering a return visit.
Guests have mentioned that the lodge could benefit from a more thorough exterior cleaning, noting bird droppings and cobwebs. However, the interior is generally described as clean, warm, and comfortable.
The location is highly regarded for its tranquility, proximity to Cheddar, and ease of access to dog walks and the reservoir. It is also within walking distance to the gorge and village, making it a convenient base for exploring the area.
The lodge is considered spacious and comfortable, with leather furniture and a well-heated interior. Some guests mentioned the need for additional items like a grab handle in the bathroom for those with mobility issues, but overall the comfort level is high.
Facilities are generally good, with a modern kitchen and amenities like Wi-Fi. However, some guests noted areas in need of repair and suggested that the property could be more inviting with a fresh coat of paint and better maintenance.
While guests have expressed appreciation for the helpfulness of the hosts and the provision of items like a long runner rug for an elderly dog, there is no mention of gifts, so it is not possible to assess the thoughtfulness in terms of gifts.

We were on a visit to U.K. to see friends and family and found this lovely little Strawberry Lodge on Cottages.com for our 4 night stay. When we arrived at the lodge we were grateful that Amanda had left the keys in the door for us, the lodge sits in an area next to Axbridge reservoir perfect for taking our little dog for a walk. The lodge is reached by a pathway in the corner of a field and is peacefully quiet, it has everything necessary for 2 people it was clean, warm and comfortable, a modern kitchen with fridge/freezer, oven, microwave etc… the furniture was leather and very comfortable to watch the TV and the wi-fi was great although we did need Amanda’s help for connection which she did immediately! The bed was firm and although the duvet was on the thin side it was more than adequate as the room was very well heated with an electric radiator, (a couple of the skirting boards need repair) the bedroom has a large wardrobe and 2 bedside lockers with lamps.The bathroom was a bit small also heated with a small radiator (which does need a bit of a clean) but fabulous walk-in shower was a bonus, great hot water and a nonslip mat which I needed as I have mobility issues (a shelf or grab handle) would have been welcomed but my husband helped me so all was good 👍
