Fantastic stay!

We’ve just spent the past week in Cedar Lodge, and had a fantastic week. Cedar Lodge is a fantastic place to stay with a family. We have two young children and they loved it too. Great hosts, great location, everything you could need in a holiday home… including a hot tub and a bbq!

Wonderful peaceful stay

A perfect modern cottage surrounded by farm fields, excellently appointed. We were staying for a family reunion nearby and the Lodge was ideal for starting and ending our days and breaks along the way. Comfortable, quiet and welcoming.

Family with primary school sons

The Lodge is fantastic. Very beautiful design, fantastic use of space and very well laid out. It's slightly apart from the rest of the farm, giving it a secluded feel and privacy.The farm itself is lovely and perfect for young children, but would equally be a lovely stay for couples or groups.The owners were incredibly welcoming and very, very hospitable. I don't usually bother writing reviews, but we enjoyed our stay here so much - 10/10 would recommend

Wonderful Place

We had a lovely stay here. The accommodation was extremely comfortable, an excellent layout and everything we needed had been thought of. The hosts, Kate and James, were extremely helpful and friendly. The children loved the hot tub. Lovely pubs nearby and even the sun came out for a few days. Thank you once again.

Summer Break

We had a lovely time at this beautiful house. A great spot to visit the coast, cheddar gorge, Longleat and a whole raft of other places. The house was well appointed throughout and the beds were amazingly comfortable. The hot tub is amazing, we loved watching the sunset overvthe hills in the distance whilst relaxing in the garden. An amazing spot to spend some well earned R&R

This is a great spot in the country - away from the crowds. It's a new build and all the appliances, plumbing, etc. worked beautifully. In fact, we've stayed in seven other VRBO properties in the UK and they've all been great as I do lots of research - and this has been the nicest, most comfortable stay we've enjoyed. The beds are super comfy too. Very clean and very private. We were even able to do some laundry as it's got a combo washer/dryer. The only very minor negative is there is a bit of road noise when you're outside, but it's not enough to put one off. Hot tub is a nice way to end a day of touring too! If your party is a group that can use two king beds or less, then this is a great find!

Lovely lodge in beautiful surroundings

We had a really lovely time staying at Cedar Lodge. We were warmly greeted by James when we arrived and nothing was too much trouble for him and Kate. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us in the fridge and some chocolates, which was generous of them. The lodge has lovely grass infront and behind and the views are amazing. It was beautiful watching the spectacular sunset. The hot tub was well enjoyed by my husband and 2 sons. The beds were sooo comfy. We were able to do some cycling in the area and it was just about an hours drive to a beach in Dorset. All in all, we had a relaxing week and really enjoyed our stay. Thanks again to James and Kate.

A perfect break

Cedar lodge is surrounded by lovely countryside and had everything you could need with the bonus of a smart hot tub. The beds were comfy, the kitchen well equipped and in rainy November, it was warm and cosy to come back to after a day exploring. We can’t wait to return.

Highly recommend

Lovely accommodation for a family holiday in Somerset. Lodge was well equipped, clean and very cosy thanks to the underfloor heating. Hot hub was a hit with kids who used it every day. Good location to visit further afield like Dorset and even Devon! Warehouse theatre in Ilminster was a highlight of our trip and we’d definitely recommend catching a show if you can. Hosts were welcoming and available if needed.
