Family get together
We were a family of 3 generations staying for four nights, we made use of the games room and outdoor games in the field. The sauna and hot tub were used every day as well as the private pool. We had time slots for the main pool which we enjoyed as a family on a hot afternoon. Plenty of space , farm shop next door and pubs in walking distance. Everyone enjoyed the week

Family Heaven!
This was a fantastic property. With a private swimming pool plus a daily 3 hour slot for private use of a larger pool, together with a Pool table and table soccer, the grandchildren were extremely happy to chill out too! Gillian and her team were happy to configure the beds to accommodate four children in one room. We would thoroughly recommend this property!

Absolutely amazing!
I spent a weekend here with 10 friends celebrating my 50th birthday. The house was perfect, plenty of room and seating for us all. Nothing was too much trouble for Gill, if we had any requirements, she was there sorting it out in minutes. Especially handy as we needed a new bottle opener 😁 The layout and decor is exceptional, the games room was great fun! The private pool was bigger than we expected and the shared pool was perfect. Our time slot coincided with the sun being out, just perfect! The sauna and hot tub also had a lot of use, very relaxing and a great way to catch up with friends. I would 100% stay here again, loved every minute. We also hired Amanda (beautician) for the day, she was wonderful, a great start to the weekend. I’d also recommend County Plate catering, we used them for dinner Saturday night, the food and service was impeccable, absolutely loved it! You will not be disappointed on a break here.

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Gill. Having worked many years as a senior Corporate Executive I retired over 10 years ago to set up my own business hosting guests. We have designed, renovated and furnished all our houses ourselves, and its a full time job to make sure they are always perfect when our guests arrive.

I have three sons, one, George who works in the holiday business with me, plus Simon my husband and our Miniature Schnauzer dog Daysy.

We live on site so we can make sure we are always there if guests need us but invisible if they don't. We have a team of people who all make sure that the barns are everything you would want them to be and more.

Why they chose this property

Upton Bourn Lodge has been recently renovated as a superb luxury retreat in Somerset that is aimed at those looking for a private, rural idyllic break in the country complete with private hot tub, outside heated pool and games room.

Somerset is a great county to visit with so much to offer right on your doorstep, from cider makers to country walks and vineyards to archery.

We also have many activity and experience providers we can recommend after booking, from the best private chefs to ax throwing on site.

What makes this property unique

At our property you can take the time to unwind, escape and relax with the fantastic, luxurious facilities, the barns can accommodate up to 18 people with enough space to enjoy eating and entertaining together but have the peace and quiet that you need while on holiday.

There is amazing outside space, a private hot tub, heated pool, games room as well as peaceful gardens overlooking fields.
