Guests say

Hearn Lodge in Bishops Lydeard is highly praised for its well-equipped, comfortable interiors and beautiful gardens. Guests appreciate the generous welcome hamper, the property's cleanliness, and the idyllic, peaceful location. While some mention poor WiFi and mobile connections, this is often seen as a chance to enjoy the surroundings. The lodge is an excellent retreat with a warm welcome from the hosts, making it a top choice for a relaxing stay.

Guests consistently describe the property as spotless and immaculate, indicating a very high standard of cleanliness throughout the lodge.

The lodge is celebrated for its quiet, rural setting with beautiful countryside and good walks, although the remote location down a single track road is noted.

Reviews frequently mention comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere, with a few guests noting the property could be chilly due to single glazing and the wood burner's limited heat output.

The property is well-appointed with a well-equipped kitchen and quality fittings. Some minor issues with WiFi and tired bathroom decor are mentioned, but overall, the facilities are highly regarded.

The hosts are commended for their thoughtfulness, particularly regarding the generous welcome hamper. While such gifts are greatly appreciated, it's worth noting they may vary and are not guaranteed.

About this property

Nestled at the foot of the Quantock Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Hearn Lodge is an exceptionally spacious holiday home overlooking a beautiful rural valley.

Hearn Lodge plunges you into a rural idyll, with access to twelve acres of wildlife meadows, a stream and pond right from your front door. The property adjoins the owner’s home, Hearn Farm, and has excellent views of its own secluded flower garden, along with an apple tunnel and an adjacent walled garden.

Inside the property, you’ll find a large and well-equipped farmhouse kitchen, a spacious living room and a south-facing conservatory. The sitting room is the perfect place to relax after a day out and about in the fresh air, with a wood burning stove to keep you warm and cosy. The furniture is farmhouse style, with a Welsh dresser and a pew creating a homely feel.

Local pubs provide excellent food and just a short ten minute drive is the large and attractive village of Bishops Lydeard where you will find many shops including a deli and a brewery featuring local produce. Hearn Lodge puts you within easy reach of the Quantock moors, with wild ponies, deer and superb coastal views, as well as the Somerset Levels and Exmoor. When you’re done exploring, relax in the garden on the outdoor furniture.
