"The lodge was clean and comfortable, in a great position for venturing out and exploring."
Really safe for two young boys to run off energy outside, while grown ups enjoyed the hot tub!

"Perfect for our family get together, pictures don't really do the Lodge's justice , much more spacious than we thought they would be ."
Grounds and facilities maintained to perfection. Hot tub superb and serviced twice daily. Highly recommended
-
"Our stay was lovely from start to finish."
We were able to properly relax, and with 2 teenage girls in tow, they properly made use of the hot tub. Our lodge (Ash), was setup for 8 people, but there was only 4 of us plus our cockapoo, so gave us plenty of space to spread out a bit. House was clean and tidy and had virtually everything you’d need. The gardens were spacious and lush grass that was well maintained. We didn’t need to make use of the log fire, and house was temperate throughout. Definitely recommend.

"Ash Lodge is in a great location and well set back from the A39 close to Watchet so road noise was not intrusive."
The site and lodges were well maintained and sufficiently spaced apart to provide privacy. Ash Lodge was very cosy and warm and the self contained upper and ground floor arrangement works extremely well for multiple families. The hot-tub was a great feature and well maintained and Wi-Fi and TV reception very good. Kitchen was well equipped although some tumblers would be a useful addition. Ash Lodge was a great place to spend Christmas with the family.

"Really nice lodge"

"A really lovely lodge."
Perfect for a large family or group of friends. Had everything we needed. Loved the hot tub which was ready for use as soon as we arrived and was cleaned every morning.
-
"Very comfortable property and the owners are very conscientious in looking after their guests."
-
"Lovely stay in the cabin for two families."
Facilities where excellent. Two keys separate keys would have been better for the downstairs accommodation.
-
"We rented out both of the cottages with hot tubs and had a fantastic time."
The ladies who checked on the hot tubs each morning were lovely to us and we had everything we needed!!! We will be coming back next year for sure :)
-
"Great lodge, we would certainly come back if staying in the area again and recommend to others."
An additional key to the main lodge would have been very useful. We had a family with young children staying upstairs that required access to the main kitchen in the middle of the night. This meant that we either had to leave the lodge unlocked when we went to bed or we had to get up to let them in when needed. That's the only improvement we can recommend. Thank you.

It was a beautiful lodge However it would of benefited with an extra key for downstairs as once we were in bed in the upstairs room which was separate from the rest of the lodge we didn’t have a key to key back in in the morning if the others were still in bed downstairs
-
"Lovely house and hot tub."
Could do with a pair of tongs and a new can opener!
-

Owner was very helpful, providing a highchair very quickly for my granddaughter when asked. We all had a great time and would definitely return in the future.
-
"Impressed with cleaning of hot tub every day and at the end of holiday."
We moved table in front of fire place which gave more room. Nice quiet location only the occasional morning / evening noise from animals from nearby zoo
-
"Peaceful location in a lovely part of the world"
-
"We went as a group of 7 females for a friends birthday."
It was great well set out, comfortable and an added bonus of the hot tub! Would go back
-
"We were a family of nine and mixed ages."
Totally all enjoyed ourselves with plenty of comfort and things around to do. The lodge Is very well laid out with everything you need. A big thank you to Lloyde for making it so special for us all. This is our 3rd time at these lodges and definitely recommend a stay there we will definitely go back again.
-

-
"The lodge was exceptionaly clean and we'll maintained the surrounding was clean and tidy."
Nice and quiet, close to many places to visit for days out. I can't fault anything all our needs were met.the owner welcomed us and made sure we knew how to work the hot tub which he kept well maintained every morning a very nice chap. The little Tropicana zoo close by was fantastic for the kids and well worth a visit. Great location for visiting the beach also ride the steam train to minehead.
-
"Lovely surroundings."
Cottage was well presented in a fantastic area. Lloyd was very helpful and was at hand if we had any questions to ask. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Thanks for a fantastic time. Mr & Mrs D Lambert And family.
-
"The lodge was beautiful and clean the hot tub was cleaned everyday."
Fantastic location with everything we needed. The sofa in the living room wasn’t very comfortable, but we didn’t spend a lot of time at the lodge. If your sleeping down stairs and you have adults upstairs the noise on the floor boards can be loud, only if your staying in the double bedroom. The peacocks and gibbons from across the zoo are loud trying to warn off foxes, but you get use to it. It’s well worth a visit to see them.
-
"The location was very good,the surrounding area had lots of places to visit ,beaches,countryside,shopping,historical sites something to suit everyone."
Lots of privacy and fully equipped accommodation comfortable beds and free wifi.just perfect.
-
"The lodge was a perfect setting to celebrate my 50th birthday."
Loads of room, inside and out. And thinking about it although the weather was not great it was a great opportunity to use the hot tub even more. Location was perfect, far enough away from the road but easy to get to all local attractions.
-
"Lovely relaxing weekend at the cottage."
Hot tub was fab. Cottage was very comfy, bed and pillows lovely. Dining table was slightly big for area as did knock my side a few times. Lloyd was very helpful and it was lovely having the fire going when we arrived. Great weekend and plenty of out door space between cottages.
-
"An amazing place to stay."
The host has done a wonderful job. Will be telling everyone how fabulous ash lodge is.
-
"Nice and quiet location, short drive to Minehead for any shopping etc Hot tub fab !"
Sitting in it on Christmas Day glass bubbly in hand ! We were a party of 6 adults, 2 children and dogs! Ash Lodge gave us plenty of room especially with the split level living.
-
"The lodge exceeded expectations."
. There was 8 of us staying there and it did not feel crowded at all... the hot tub was cleaned every day. The owner was very nice and helpful. The lodges were easy to find, just off the main road yet very quiet and shops close by. Would definitely return there and recommend.
-
"Second visit - so knew it was good!"
-
"Great family place to stay, which was really clean and a perfect location."
The double bed mattress needs replacing and some rugs put down upstairs to stop some of the noise. The hot tub is great and everyone loved it.
-
"Ash Lodge is a lovely holiday let with everything you could possibly need."
It is well furnished, with quality items and the kitchen is really well equipped. A large group can stay here very comfortably and the hot tub is a luxury bonus. Can't recommend enough. Thanks for a great stay.
-
"I had an amazing week with all the family."
The children especially loved the freedom to run around in the fresh air. There was plenty to see and do although we didn't have enough time for all of it. The accommodation was faultless with all the comforts of home. Staff on site were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be going back.
-
"Gemma the site manager was very friendly and helpful."
The location was great and we have a wonderful time.
-
"We loved our stay at Ash Lodge and it provided everything we expected."
Location was convenient and lots to do in the surrounding area. Our group comprised of two families so Ash Lodge suited us perfectly as it meant that each family had their own facilities with one upstairs and one downstairs but also space to come together as a group. We loved having lots of outside space too and everyone enjoyed the hot tub!! We would struggle to find fault with Ash Lodge, the only thing that would have been helpful was to have a couple of extra chopping boards but it’s a tiny gripe in what was a perfect stay! The owner, Lloyd was very accommodating and fixed a door lock within an hour of us reporting it and was also very accommodating allowing us to use the hot tub for an extended period on our last night. Would highly recommended to anyone looking to holiday with another family for a weekend or longer.

"Very comfortable well equiped holiday home, unfortunately the dishwasher didnt work, but the owner did try to fix it very promptly, just one of those things."
We had a good family get together and would recommend Ash Lodge to friends and family. The hot tub was a big hit with everyone.
-
"Great area lots to do, lovely helpful staff."
-
"Could not fault the lodge but misleading stating in the information that its accessible for walking into the village."
We tried walking but we found out that the road has no paths and is very dangerous to use, especially with children. There is a country path but very overgrown! Otherwise we had a fantastic holiday.
