Guests say

The Wedmore lodge in Cheddar offers a spacious and well-furnished accommodation with stunning views and a great location for exploring the area. Guests appreciate the clean bedding, friendly staff, and on-site facilities, including a bistro and bar. While some minor cleanliness and maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests planning to return.

Reviews indicate a generally clean environment, particularly noting clean bedding. However, some guests mentioned sofas and floors that could have been cleaner, and issues with flies and ants, leading to a slightly above average score.

The location is highly praised for its excellent views and central position for outings. The scenic surroundings contribute to a very high score in this category.

The lodge is described as spacious and generally comfortable, with good sleep quality mentioned. Some guests found the furniture worn and beds uncomfortable, resulting in a slightly reduced score.

Facilities like the pool, playground, and bistro are appreciated, but there are concerns about limited pool times, costly activities, and maintenance issues such as hob and shower problems. This leads to an above-average score.

There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews provided, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

    A couple of niggles, not enough doggy bins onsite. The shower doors in the en suite didn’t meet and the thermostat was set too high so we had to open the decking doors to cool down!

  • Kathryn

    Overall we had a lovely stay.Lodge was lovely and perfect for our party. Perfect location - We went to Bristol, Wookey Hole and Cheddar gorge during our stay. Pool was good and not too busy during our stay. Staff were helpful, It was quite busy at the time.Broken bed on arrival that was replaced within 1 hour. Only slight negative was the NYE party - This was completely sold out when we enquired; there was no mention of a party or buying tickets when booking/processing payments for our stay. We were offered 'first come first serve' tickets from 9pm on NYE but by this point we had already made other plans. Maybe better communication on this would be helpful.
