Lovely family holiday in a very comfortable well equipped lodge, in a lovely area.. 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.

Mr Evans, July 2020

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

Mrs Pengilly, February 2020

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.

Mrs Saunders, November 2019

August 2019

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.

Mr Curtis, August 2019

July 2019

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.

Mrs Miller, July 2019

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.

Mrs Thomas, July 2019

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.

Mrs Barker

June 2019

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.

Stratton Thomas

February 2019

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.

NickyCole2013

We stayed with our teenagers and dog. The lodge is clean with plenty of space. Hot tub and log burner are great. It’s ideally situated for Exmoor National Park and surrounding towns. The beach is close by and there are loads of outdoor things to do. Minor niggles were: Towels not routinely provided for hot tub Tv in lounge is a bit small Sofa not very comfortable Would stay again.

Mrs Southcott

December 2018

An amazing place to stay.. The host has done a wonderful job. Will be telling everyone how fabulous ash lodge is.

Mrs Dulson

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.

Mrs Mowson

November 2018

Second visit - so knew it was good!

Ms Houston

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.

Mr Domaille

August 2018

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.

Miss Hunwick

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.

Mrs Warren

July 2018

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.

Miss Dutton

June 2018

Gemma the site manager was very friendly and helpful.. The location was great and we have a wonderful time.

Mrs Carman

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.

Miss Hudson

We had both Ash and Hazel lodges which are next door to each other for a group of 16 of us staying over the new year. Overall the two lodges perfectly suited our needs. We managed to have all 16 of us in Ash lodge for a New Year's Eve celebration. The log burner in Ash lodge was lovely but probably required smaller logs than what was provided. You can buy more if needs be but we managed to get by on what we had. The hot tub was bigger and more modern in Ash compared to Hazel lodge. It comfortable fitted 8 people in it. Plastic cups are provided to drink in the hot tub as no glass allowed around the hot tub. There is some power supplies of you wish to take a speaker or charge a mobile phone etc whilst in it. The temperature is maintained well too ensuring it's ready to go whenever you want to jump in. We were in it pretty much all day, every day to be honest. All in all, I would defo truly stay here agin, I think the cost was £1250 booked trough Sykes website. Not bad split 8 ways over New Years. It was the same price for 2 days (New Years eve / day) as it was for the week so a no brainier staying the week. Would highly recommend and stay again!

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.

Mrs Smith, September 2016

The lodge is a good choice for 2 familesto share..

Mrs Howarth

August 2016

We all had a great holiday at Ash Lodge, it is in a great location and we would definitely stay there again. It was also great for kids safe for them to play.

Mr Smith, September 2016

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.

Mrs Ward, August 2016

Great area lots to do, lovely helpful staff..

The garden space was big and great for the kids. I like the two separate floors to give privacy and the hot tub was a bonus every evening. We did go out and explore every day but we would have been happy to stay around the lodgings on a rainy day. It was close to many attractions and places of interest.

8 of us stayed at Ash Lodge, and made full use of the facilities, including the hot tub! It was very clean, well maintained and well equipped. There was sufficient parking, lovely and cosy, and the key selling factor - the hot tub! Cant recommend it more, great value!

We could not fault Ash Lodge in any way. The owners have thought of everything, it was perfect! We would recommend this property without hesitation and will definitely return!

Miss Jackson

The property was amazing, we absolutely loved it. Very clean and can not think of anything that would make it any better. The location was great, we didn't realise it was so close to Minehead town centre which was great. The hot tub was fab, and we will definitely be booking again. Thanks for a great time.

Guest

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The lodge is beautifully finished with high quality furniture and all the things you would hope to get in a comfortable home from home. The hot tub is a fantastic bonus and everything is spotlessly clean. Location wise, there are plenty of nice places and attractions to visit within a very short drive. When you look at the price if cottage holidays and see what you get here, it really is a no brainer to choose this location over many, many others.

A lovely cottage, great hot tub and it was very useful to have both a dishwasher and washing machine! VERY comfy beds.

Mrs Wheeler

We loved the peace and quiet of the surroundings and the fact that we did not hear our neighbours, as the lodges were very well spaced out. It was in a beautiful location not far from many towns and villages. So once we arrived we didn't have to drive very far. We visited Watchet, Blue Anchor, Dunster, Minehead and Porlock Weir. We had a ride on the steam train and the beaches were perfect for walking the dog.

May 2014

Very high quality accommodation with everything you could want or need. Owners go out of their way to ensure you have the best of everything from high quality furnishing to providing essentials for self catering. Well located and cannot recommend highly enough.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Managed to book Ash Lodge over New Year period and had a superb celebration. The lodge meant we could all have a great time together. The set up means you are all together all the time which is fantastic, plus the hot tub is great as well! New Years Eve I sat in it until 4am!!!

Lovely spacious, airy, very clean. Hot tub was amazing. Countryside was amazing. Nothing to fault about the holiday, hopefully going to try & get away again this year to here.

An excellent place to stay to explore the area. Highly reccomended. Split accomdation is great for extended family.

Rowland K

Stayed here with my wife, daughter, her partner and granddaughter. We slept upstairs in annex where we could make coffee before morning hot tub use. Our daughter, partner and the baby slept downstairs, The accommodation was handed over really clean and tidy. After arrival Lloyd arrived and explained a few details and how to use the hot tub. Dish washer was really useful as was the washing machine with a six month old baby. We could also buy free range eggs at the entrance gate. Local shops were about a mile away as were a few local pubs, Very close to Dunster castle and village which is a nice day out. Nothing to fault.

What a find. we were lucky enough to be the first people to stay in this brand new lodge. The on site owner catered for all our needs and went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure our stay was perfect. The lodge was in an excellent condition with everything you needed for your stay, little touches such as the washing machine and play station came in very handy. We were with another family and the 1st floor living area made sure that each family had their own privicy and independancy as there was a separate kitchen upstairs. I highly recommend a stay at this lodge to anyone and will be looking forward to booking a return again this year.
