Wow, what a lovely spot! The lodge was spotless and really well looked after, with plenty of towels provided. We felt super welcomed with the nice little pack they left.

The Lodge was really comfortable and the equipment was excellent. It's in a great spot for nature reserves. The neighbours, the sheep, were quietly munching away in the next field. They were also hiding from the heat of the sun!

This is a great property! The view was just spectacularand the sunsets along with the night sky were amazing. It's an easy stroll to the pub, but you definitely burn it off walking back up that hill! The location is super convenient for the nature reserves, shopping in Streetand visiting Glastonbury and Wells. Plus, we really enjoyed making friends with the sheep.
