A really lovely property to stay in - felt very homely.
A really lovely property to stay in - felt very homely. Other lodges on the estate and they all are looked after and the area is also quiet. As this lodge is privately owned, you can contact the owners directly if you have any questions, queries or problems. Swimming pool on-site which you booked for 40mins, therefore having the pool to yourself. Local pub a 4 min walk away and a Golf Club a 5 min drive away, both served really good food. Chard and Crewekerne are a 5/6 mile drive away, other places to visit vary from a 30min drive up. A place to go to do as much or as little as you wish.
