19 Poldon is a stunning, reverse-level lodge set on the renowned Swandown Lodges Estate in Cricket St. Thomas, Somerset. Surrounded by breath-taking parkland on the 1,000-acre estate, this stylish lodge has a contemporary interior, off-road parking, a private garden with hot tub, and shared on-site facilities such as an exclusive spa for adults and a child-friendly adventure trail; a superb property for families, friends, and couples to enjoy a relaxing holiday. Entering the first floor, you'll find a beautifully presented, open-plan living space with a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area for six guests, and a welcoming sitting area. Settle into the cushioned sofas ready for a film night on the Smart TV, whilst the woodburning stove gently warms the space. However, on summer nights, the balcony is a lovely spot to admire the spectacular views with a glass of wine in hand. Downstairs there are three beautifully presented ground-floor bedrooms; a master king-size with TV and en-suite shower room, a king-size, and a twin, along with a bathroom. From this floor, you can access your private garden for alfresco dining, playing on the lawn or simply unwinding in the sheltered hot tub. For more relaxation, be sure to visit the on-site spa, steam room or sauna; whilst the walking and cycling paths, children's adventure trail, football area, and nearby Cricket St Thomas golf course offer plenty of activities. You'll find everything you need at 19 Poldon for a memorable holiday in Somerset.
It is possible to tour these three stunning West Country counties from the parish of Cricket St. Thomas in South Somerset, which borders West Dorset and is only a short distance from East Devon. A trip around the Cricket St. Thomas estate will lead you to Cricket House, which was once the location for Penelope Keith's television series "To the Manor Born" but is now a part of the Warner Cricket St. Thomas Hotel. The Fleet Air Arm Museum is 7 miles north of Yeovil and is one of the largest aviation museums in the world with many historic aircraft on display; the prestigious Haynes International Motor Museum at Sparkford offers an excellent day out for everyone with a vast collection of veteran, vintage, and classic cars and bikes offering a fascinating window into motoring history; the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum at Lyme Regis is slightly farther away but within easy driving distance.
