Miss Turner December 2021

“Beautifully laid out property with all the amenities that we could have possibly wanted, set out in a idyllic location.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Heron Lodge. Would (and have) recommend to others.

- Miss Turner, December 2021
Mrs Milligan November 2021

“This was a great place to stay.”

Firstly the views across the Somerset Levels where a great start to our holiday. The lodge was very well set out with all the furniture one would need for a comfortable stay. The Kitchen diner area was very spacious with a large telly. The lodge also came with WiFi which was very useful. There is also an outdoor Hot Tub to enjoy. Most locations where within 45 minutes (Longleat Safari Park, Cheddar Gorge, Clarks outlet village, Glastonbury and the Fleet Air Arm museum (though there is a Sea Harrier the owner bought in a mini museum on the lan). The owners Neil & Jo where very nice people, friendly and hospitable. Enjoyed meeting Tulip the lamb, the Shetland Ponies and not forgetting Billy the dog who greeted us most mornings.

“We had a lovely family break.”

The accommodation was lovely and the views breathtaking.

- Smith, July 2021
Mr Fielding July 2021

“Heron Lodge and it's owners were fantastic, resulting in a wonderful break.”

We could not have asked for more! However, the constant very official e-mails and texts from Sykes Holiday Cottages were to say the least abrupt and in the main unnecessary. Yes, you were dealing with a situation caused by a pandemic but a more friendly approach would have made dealings with you more pleasurable.

- Mr Fielding, July 2021
Mrs Freeman July 2021

“Extremely friendly owners, lovely secluded location and amazing views”

- Mrs Freeman, July 2021
Mr Ryan July 2021

“Marvellous place, photos don't do justice.”

You have totally uninterrupted views of the Somerset levels, Glastonbury, the Quantocks, and even part of Exmoor National Park. The owners bent over backwards to resolve issues (the hot tub didn't work day one and they resolved it really quickly) and were super friendly. They also have a farm dog, Billy, who loves you to play with him so if you like dogs there is a bonus. Everything you need for a relaxing break.

- Mr Ryan, July 2021
Mrs Wallwork June 2021

“Ideal beautiful surroundings for a lovely chilled break.”

Highly recommendable for a quiet break away from the rat run. Friendly helpful owners who have really put their all into providing the ideal holiday home.

- Mrs Wallwork, June 2021
Miss Gowan June 2021

“We had an amazing stay.”

The owners have really thought about every little detail which really made our stay. The logde was spotless on arrival and watching the sunset in hot tub with a nice drink was amazing. Thank you again for our stay

Mr Evans May 2021

“This is probably the best place we have ever stayed in the UK out of the hundreds we have been to.”

The area is quiet. If you need to unwind in rural seclusion look no further ignore the price and just book you will not be disappointed. The location of this lodge and its facilities are amazing This lodge has a WOW factor as soon as you approach it. There are stunning views of Glastonbury Tor across the Somerset Levels . There is a breathtaking panoramic view from the spacious open plan living area. The hot tub also shares the great views and is secluded and sheltered. There are 2 bathrooms with great showers. There is a massive TV which we never turned on due to the amazing views. The lodge is very light inside due to the large floor to ceiling windows on 2 sides overlooking the Levels. The Lodge is not overlooked with nothing to spoil the views. There are lovely walks direct from your door across the Levels . There is much wildlife, swans, herons swallows and deer. 3 Alpacas, Billie the dog and a black cat visit the garden daily and are all friendly. There is a good WIFI signal but being rural the phone signal is present but a bit weak . There is ample parking. We only went out a couple of days as when you get here you will know why. There is very small campsite as you approach out of view of the Villa as you arrive. The hot tub was large and relaxing and needs to be off and reduced noise outside by 10 pm as not to disturb the one nearby lodge .The upstairs en-suite bedroom has a large bed with a comfortable mattress . The downstairs double bedroom is lovely but the soft mattress made the bed unsuitable for sleeping on so we used upstairs instead. I would suggest the same mattress as upstairs is purchased to rectify this as it would be cooler sleeping downstairs in summer. The sofas and art décor chair look great but are too soft and low for anyone with lower back problems. There is a hard tall chair suitable for reading and sitting though. The kitchen is very well equipped so we used it every day for evening meals. The main oven is slow so leave food in for longer. There are no tea cups or small mugs only numerous large ones. There were beach towels and bathroom towels provided which were on the small side . There is plenty soap washing liquid a dishwasher washing machine meaning you only need to bring your own shampoo and a large towel if you want one. We came as a couple and will definitely be returning in future. We cant wait to see on the nearby owners farm which has a harrier jumpjet which is wheeled out of its shed on a Sunday Overall we had an amazing stay and cant recommend the lodge highly enough. Don't forget a few more bottles of bubbly , just relax and take in the very special views

Mrs Chapman May 2021

“Lovely place, very calm and relaxing, with a welcoming dog (Billy) and our own security guards, in the disguise of Alpaca's!”

The lodge was very welcoming and clean. Due to the high ceilings there were a couple of spiders webs. The kitchen was pretty well equipped. Bedrooms were clean and nicely decorated. It would have been good to have some little shampoos in the showers. A great weekend away.

- Mrs Chapman, May 2021
Mrs Skilton April 2021

“This lodge was absolutely stunning.”

Everything was perfect and the location was amazing. It completely exceeded expectations and we loved our time there. The alpacas, Billy the dog, the cat and chickens and cows were an added bonus. The views were just spectacular. The lodge was very modern with everything you need and the hot tub was sublime. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. A real gem. Will definitely be going back again.

- Mrs Skilton, April 2021
Mrs Hoskins December 2020

“Luxury accommodation - with the most stunning views.”

Hot tub was an added bonus. Inside the lodge is cosy and warm with excellent facilities - if you want a break away from it all - but close to several attractions, in luxury accommodation - then book Heron Lodge.

- Mrs Hoskins, December 2020
Mrs Burbridge October 2020

“Fantastic stay at Heron Lodge (second stay).”

Clean, beautiful views, and the hosts are lovely. We had 2 children with us who absolutely loved walking around the garden area and seeing the animals and the daily visits from Billy the dog were the cherry on top! A lovely relaxing holiday and felt very COVID secure. 5 stars ⭐️

- Mrs Burbridge, October 2020
Mr Mcgreavy September 2020

“Amazing view great location warm and welcoming hosts including Billy the dog.”

We had a great holiday thankfully very much.

- Mr Mcgreavy, September 2020
Mrs Morris August 2020

“The Lodge was clean & tidy.”

It was situated in a lovely location overlooking fields with plenty of room for our grandchildren to play. From our Lodge you could see Glastonbury. The Hot Tub was great , my son spent the evenings in the Hot Tub just relaxing & Star gazing. Beds were comfy to some extent. My wife & i had the upstairs bedroom with en-suite, plenty of room but if you were thinking of taking long dresses it has only small wardrobe hanging space for skirts or shirts, it has no tall wardrobe. En-suite was well fitted, great shower. No bath in the property it has 2 showers. Kitchen was ok equipped but could do with more Utensils. Sofa was very uncomfortable so don't expect to sit in the evenings & be relaxed. My son & his wife took the children to see the Harrier in the shed it was amazing. Wi-fi went down for around 24hrs but was sorted. All in all it was a lovely stay & would go back without hesitation, just could do with some new sofas. Billy. the farm dog. comes to meet you when you arrive & the children loved him. He brings his toys & ball for you to throw.

- Mrs Morris, August 2020
Mrs Belton August 2020

“We had a great stay at Heron Lodge.”

Very clean, with a fully equipped kitchen. The view and location was excellent. Hot tub was always hot and it was lovely to get a visit off Billy the dog and Thomas the cat, much to our daughters delight. Thoroughly recommend. In fact, I have passed the cottage details to 2 friends already who liked the look of it.

- Mrs Belton, August 2020
Mrs Stanfield August 2020

“Beautiful views, quiet location.”

Very relaxing, hot tub is fabulous.

- Mrs Stanfield, August 2020
Mrs Jamieson January 2020

“This was a great place to get away.”

Views were amazing. Would 100% book again.

- Mrs Jamieson, January 2020
Mrs Paige January 2020

“We had a great time.”

The view from the hot tub was excellent!

Miss Evans November 2019

“We had an amazing stay at Heron Lodge.”

It was the most relaxing setting, and the lodge was spotless. The owners were on hand and extremely helpful. We enjoyed it so much, we can't wait to come back.

- Miss Evans, November 2019
Miss Davis November 2019

“Everything was so straight forward, it was all explained so well.”

The hosts even went the extra mile to make it perfect for us. Definitely recommend

- Miss Davis, November 2019
Mrs Genever October 2019

“A beautiful location, with stunning views.”

6 adult females stayed in this lodge for a rare get together, and we all were happy and comfortable ( even in the bunk beds). The animals are a nice treat to visit, and Billy the dog is such a lovely boy, who just wants to play. The TV is a smart TV so for winter days like ours Netflix is available, as is free WiFi. Plentiful cooking facilities and cutlery including pots, pans and trays, we managed to easily cook a roast dinner for us all. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heron Lodge. The best thing about this lodge was the views and Billy. Thank you!

- Mrs Genever, October 2019
Mrs Barker October 2019

“We as a family have had the most perfect holiday.”

The accommodation is stunning with amazing views. The hot tub was a lovely treat at the end of each full day , with just the best scenery you could wish for. My son and daughter adored Billy and rex and spent many an hour playing fetch with them. Oh and the harrier - my husband left very happy having been able to sit in the cockpit. Finally Jo and Neil are so lovely and wonderful hosts. We hope to return again next year.

- Mrs Barker, October 2019
Mr Taylor October 2019

“Our 2nd visit .”

Great outlook , very relaxing , lovely hot tub , good location for visiting the local area .

- Mr Taylor, October 2019
Mr Fullick September 2019

“Amazing Lodge built very high standard with large hot tub very private but with fantastic views.”

Lovely location. The owners Jo and Neil very accommodating and informative. Would highly recommend and we will certainly return. Graham and Sue

- Mr Fullick, September 2019
Ms Forbes September 2019

“Beautiful views and a fantastic property, the owners were very friendly and helpful.”

The only thing I would suggest is that there are a few more glasses ( not plastic ) for drinks.

- Ms Forbes, September 2019
Miss Lyon August 2019

“Heron Lodge was, without a doubt, the most beautiful place I have stayed in the U.”

K. The lodge was spotless and had everything we needed. The views were stunning. And the friendly owners were on hand to help without being intrusive. Billy the dog is an extra bonus :) We can’t wait to return!

- Miss Lyon, August 2019
Mr Ford June 2019

“The arrival experience was perfect.”

Key storage worked well and the views from the doorstep were simply awesome. The whole accommodation was spotlessly clean - a real credit to the owners. All of the facilities worked as intended, Netflix being a real bonus as the weather was terrible. Underfloor heating provided cosy comfort. The hot tub was a perfect end to any day, being slightly covered by the roof - exactly right. Would we come back - yes yes yes. Finally, regular visits from Archie the dog provided exercise in the way of throw and catch.

- Mr Ford, June 2019
Mr Smith May 2019

“The lodge was brilliant.”

The setting was amazing with some of the best views in the world. Really impressed having been to two other similar log cabins in the past, this is our favourite. Jo and Neil were brilliant hosts, very welcoming and good fun.

- Mr Smith, May 2019
Mrs Leach April 2019

“Positives were fantastic location, very nice hosts, amazing jump jet which is really worth seeing, lovely alpacas, awesome hot tub, beautiful lodge, fabulous county, comfy bed, lovely decor, Negatives were that the bunks are as advertised, for children, and not for young men in our party although fine for the young women.”

Also we did have a lot of ants. No one's fault and on the bright side it made everyone clear up! We rented the property next door too. Fab time and we'd like to hurry back

- Mrs Leach, April 2019
Miss Minihan March 2019

“Great place for a weekend break.”

Really enjoyed the peacefulness of the area. Everything is as described in the listing. Cannot fault this property!

- Miss Minihan, March 2019
Miss Hockridge March 2019

“We had such a relaxing stay and the lodge was everything we had hoped for and more!”

Very clean, tidy and spacious. The hot tub was amazing especially looking out over the views of the countryside. The owners checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed on our arrival and were not far away if we needed anything else. Billie the dog is also lovely and enjoyed lots of play time with his stick! We will definitely be recommending to friends and family and hope to come back again soon!

- Miss Hockridge, March 2019
Mrs Watkins February 2019

“We can highly recommend Heron Lodge.”

It was immaculate. Nice and warm too. The views were fantastic through the huge windows. The hot tub was brilliant..especially with the views. We would recommend taking your own large towels for use getting out of the hot tub. Neil and Jo were very friendly and helpfu.

- Mrs Watkins, February 2019
Mrs Willis December 2018

“Jo and Neil were very welcoming on arrival and though out our stay at Heron ...”

Mrs Hinton October 2018

“What a wonderful week we had a Heron Lodge, nothing was too much trouble for the owners.”

Jo in particular even found my husbands wedding ring and had it couriered back to me. The lodge itself was amazing, so clean and everything in it was top spec. It’s was so conveniently placed for all amenities nothing was too far to get to. The children loved the animals especially Billy the dog AKA Roxy. Wedmore is a gorgeous village and the King George pub has really lovely food. We shall definitely be going back.

- Mrs Hinton, October 2018
Mrs Middleton September 2018

“Beautiful lodge.”

Spotlessly clean with fab country views. Jo and Neil the owners were very friendly and on hand should you need anything. Extra bonus having the hot tub We stayed here with two friends and had a lovely break.

- Mrs Middleton, September 2018
Mr Taylor September 2018

“Brand new accommodation , Excellent views across the Somerset levels & Glastonbury Tor , Hot tub a real plus .”

- Mr Taylor, September 2018
Mrs Sainsbury August 2018

“Lovely lodge with a high spec for the facilities and cleanliness.”

Fully equipped kitchen. Although there was a little desk mirror and a make-up mirror in the en suite top bedroom, there was no 3/4 or full length mirror, which we think was needed. But a minor gripe in an otherwise lovely stay. Highly recommended for the view, friendliness of the owners (and their visiting dogs) and privacy.

- Mrs Sainsbury, August 2018
Mrs Faulkner August 2018

“An amazing lodge!”

Lovely owners available if you need to ask anything. lots to do locally. would go again!
