Heron Lodge Castle Farm in Wedmore | Must-See Somerset Hot Tub Cottage

About Heron Lodge Castle Farm

Heron Lodge Castle Farm sits in the heart of Somerset's Wedmore village. This 3-bedroom lodge offers stunning countryside views that guests rave about in nearly every review. The farm setting adds a special touch - where else would you be greeted by an alpaca and sheep upon arrival? It's like the animals are saying "we've been expecting ewe!" Sorry about that.

The Somerset location puts you in prime position for exploring the region's best spots. Cheddar Gorge and Wells Cathedral are just a short drive away. Fancy a day at the beach? Head to Burnham-on-Sea or Weston-super-Mare. After a day of exploring, you'll appreciate returning to your peaceful farm retreat where wildlife and tranquillity abound.

The accommodation features three bedrooms: a king-size with en-suite, a ground floor king-size and children's bunks. The open-plan living area creates a sociable space with everything you need. Underfloor heating keeps things cosy while the fully-equipped kitchen has all modern appliances including dishwasher and washer/dryer.

Visit Cheddar Gorge (7 miles, 15 minutes), Wells Cathedral (9 miles, 20 minutes), Glastonbury Abbey (12 miles, 25 minutes), or Clarks Village for shopping (13 miles, 25 minutes). Each offers a different taste of Somerset's beauty and history.

Heron Lodge Castle Farm works brilliantly for families who want space, views and that private hot tub for evening relaxation. Kids love the farm animals while adults appreciate the thoughtful touches throughout.

Heron Lodge Castle Farm Reviews

Louise

Beautiful view, stunning lodge, fantastic owners. Castle Farm is a very special place and Heron Lodge is a wonderful place to spend time. The view over the Somerset levels is spectacular and Glastonbury Tor can be seen in the background. It's a haven for wildlife and we loved watching a variety of birds come and go, including woodpeckers, herons, swallows, housemartins and hawks and also saw deer. The animals at the farm are very entertaining especially Alfred the Alpaca. We loved sitting in the hot tub and enjoyed gazing out over the amazing landscape. Heron Lodge is beautiful, well appointed and very comfortable. We explored the local nature reserves, all within easy reach, and the lodge is only a short drive to Glastonbury or the coast. There are two very well stocked village shops nearby one in Wedmore and one in Mark. The owners are lovely. What more could you want from a short break or holiday. Highly recommended.

Lynette

The Lodge was fantastic, views amazing. All as described. My only gripe was the lack of kitchen implements, knives, slotted spoons etc

Yvonne

This is our 4th time at Heron Lodge, Jo and Neil are fantastic hosts, going above and beyond to get everything just right. We've already booked again. The sunrisesunset views are incredible. And the hot tubs a must, even in the rain!

One of the best holiday lets we've stayed in. Amazing views, all the home comforts, alpacas to greet you and Jo the owner was lovely. The weather was wet but we still visited Wells, Glastonbury Tor, Clarks Shopping Village, the seaside and Bath. Also got to see the harrier jump jet! Would definitely book again for another visit.

Sandra

Absolutely fantastic stay,! The views from lodge are stunning, sitting on the large patio or in the hot tub. Bonus was Jeffrey the alpaca, who often wandered up to the patio or grazed by the lodge. There is also Alfred another alpaca in the field next to the lodge with three sheep, as well as Billy the owners dog who is very friendly and will nip into the lodge if you dont watch out! Hot tub was great after a day of sightseeing, so many wonderful places to visit close by. Jo the owner is really helpful and she kept us updated and provided candles when we had a power cut. By chance, wed bought a preloaded power bank earlier that day, so we were still able to listen to our portable radio. The Harrier Jet was fantastic to see. Do not hesitate to book this lodge!

Jennifer

What an absolutely fabulous holiday! Jo popped round to maintain the hot tub she is so friendly and approachable. The lodge is lovely and comfortable, a real home away from home and one we already miss! It was very well equipped and the attention to detail with the things provided is great, we have often found holiday lets are lacking things like sharp knives, tin openers and scissors, it may sound small but it makes a huge difference when they are provided. It is ideally located for popping out to local attractions but absolutely fantastic for chilling out and staying put. Every detail was covered and we would absolutely stay again. Thank you for such an amazing break.

Andrew

This is a great place with views to die for we had a great week.

Yvonne

Heron lodge is in a stunning location, the owners went out of there way to accommodate us and answer any questions.

Hannah

Amazing property! Absolutely loved staying here. It was well laid out, the sofa was comfortable weve been places before were the sofa was horrible so this was a big plus for us, the location is picturesque and the alpacas were fab! Will definitely be going back

An absolute gem of a property there was nothing lacking as all amenities were available and the owners were just lovely. We didnt need their assistance with anything but I would imagine nothing would be too much trouble if we had done. Its just a shame your company Sykes dont show the same level of professionalism and customer service.

Yvonne

Stunning location, will definitely be back

Philip

Absolutely stunning location. Hosts were extremely understanding of the needs of the person we supported. Highly recommended.

Lovely place, great facilities and fantastic view

Kelvin

Really enjoyably stay. Fabulous view and the Harrier was great

Suzanne

The harrier jump jet was an extra bonus.

Richard

Wonderful stay in a beautiful setting, having been greeted by an Alpaca & a Sheep on arrival Albert & Tulip the holiday was set from then on. Plenty to see and do all within 30 minutes drive of the location and everywhere we ate the food was amazing. The lodge was the perfect size for the 6 of us and safe enough for a 2 year old to roam and play. Will be going back for sure.

Hayley

We were a group of 5 girls celebrating my 40th birthday for the weekend and we had such an amazing time at Heron lodge. Location and comfort of the place was 5 star, the hot tub was an added bonus and we used it both evenings. We would all definitely recommend to others and hopefully will return ourselves one day too!

The host was incredibly friendly the rooms were clean the view was incredible and there were so many useful items. I will most certainly be back and will recommend this location to everyone. 5 stars

We loved the views from the property. . Our grandchildren enjoyed the alpacas, sheep and visits from the owners very friendly dog and cat. The owners were welcoming and helpful. Good location for several attractions such as the Tor in Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar Gorge.

Had the best time when we stayed here. The lodge was beautiful and the views were stunning. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to be self sufficient on a weekend away.

Monica

We had a very enjoyable stay at Heron Lodge, and would certainly think of returning. The setting is really stunning and the location is perfect for day trips to a wide variety of interesting places. The reason I would give the stay 4 stars rather than 5 is that it is described as being a luxurious lodge which sets certain expectations. However, elements such as the pillows, duvets, mattresses, towels and bed linen which also hadn't been ironed should have been of much better quality to warrant that descriptor. I am sure many guests will however appreciate the hot tub and it is lovely seeing the animals on the other side of the garden fence from the open plan living area.

Modern, well equiped and spacious, an excellent property that exceeded our expectations. The view across the marshes from the lounge and patio area is superb.

We had a fabulous time and felt so welcome, thank you Jo & Neil. From Jen, Sven, Rex & Cody

A fabulous stay in beautiful quiet surroundings

Caroline

Great views and great owners Lovely large hot tub and everything you could need ... Great views and great owners Lovely large hot tub and everything you could need in the lodge Could do with a bigger fan upstairs as was very hot

Lovely stay at Heron Lodge we have been a few times now and its always perfect. Views are amazing, lovely quiet spot but ideally located for exploring Somerset.

We booked this property after being let down 4 days before we were meant to spend Christmas in a different lodge in another part of the country. At the time I was so let down but if anything I think it was a blessing in disguise as I dont feel anywhere could have beaten Castle Farm. Such a beautiful setting to spend quality time as a family. The lodge is so spacious that the pictures dont do it justice. The views are absolutely superb, watching the sunrise and sunset out of the lounge windows is magical. I was a bit worried how we would manage on Christmas Day to do dinner and was so surprised how well stocked the kitchen was with enough potspans to do a full dinner. Im not sure what the previous review is about in regards to parking as the lodge next to us had a few cars and we didnt hear anything at all. Was so peaceful and tranquil. Our children loved the morning visits from the alpacas and ponies! Hot tub was lovely and clean and we couldnt have asked for a better place to spend Christmas! One of the best lodges we have stayed in. If youre thinking of booking then you wont be disappointed.

A beautiful place to spend some holiday time. Stunning views and the kids loved the hot tub and the farm animals. The lodge was very impressive and very clean. My grandson insists he wants to come back to this very lodge. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone.

Would defo come back

Fantastic property with beautiful views. Property was brilliant, couldn't fault it. It had everything you needed. It was lovely to open the sliding door every morning. Hot tub overlooked the view. Our daughter loved the visiting the ponies, alpacas and playing catch with the dog. Friendly owners. Would definitely recommend!

Heron lodge is really lovely. It was clean and well kept, with all the necessary essentials for a stat that felt like a home from home. Liked the welcome folder with useful info in. We all loved looking out at the trees and seeing all the birds and wildlife, especially the Alpacas My little boy really loved the hot tub, his first ever time in one. The host couldnt have been more friendly and helpful if hed tried, Thank you for a lovely stay

Stunning location and views across the Somerset levels, peace and quiet in abundance with such amazing wildlife. The lodge is very well equipped and maintained, and very clean on arrival. The hot tub is a good size and adds that little bit extra to fully enjoy the location and beautiful surroundings. The owners are very friendly and approachable. The Harrier jet on a Sunday morning also adds something different if aircraft are your thing !. Overall we had a great holiday and hope to return.

Jacqueline

Great week. Great lodge. Fabulous views. Very friendly and helpful owners. We may well be back!

Great property and setting.

Lianne

Had an amazing week at Heron Lodge. Amazing views, friendly staff and kids loved Billie the dog! Would definitely return. Thank you
